The saltire represents welcome and community. Anger at cuts in communities is understandable; but they are the fault of ministers, not migrants. @rozfoyer.bsky.social in the Sunday Mail @dailyrecord.co.uk.web.brid.gy @danvevers.bsky.social

I don't say this lightly but I'm increasingly concerned that the Scottish Government's handling of the Flamingo Land planning appeal could be unlawful. The National Park Authority's lawyers have called it 'high unorthodox'. www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottis...

EXC: A review of the Scottish Government’s widely criticised move to approve Flamingo Land’s Loch Lomond resort will be led by the same official who gave it the green light, prompting anger from local campaigners who say the process is ‘a sham’ www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottis...

EXC: Glasgow-based shipping firm linked to Putin’s fleet of “shadow tankers” could have contributed £127million in taxes last year to the Kremlin war machine for gas it ships from Russia to Europe www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottis...

Incredible #frenchopen final. Honestly don’t mind who wins at this point (but come on Alcaraz).

#Gladiator2… not sure what’s more believable. Denzel Washington’s American accent and bright white veneers. Or sharks in the Colosseum. Or the son from White Lotus S1 as co-emperor. The whole thing is like a fever dream.

Time to drop the really big bomb

EXC: Sir David Attenborough's acclaimed Scottish cameraman Doug Allan tells the Sunday Mail he backs @monicalennon.bsky.social’s #Ecocide Bill for Scotland to make mass environmental destruction a crime - set to be published next week. "An ecocide law has the potential to be powerful."

Wee bit of personal news. I've officially moved to the Sunday Mail as Chief Reporter. Excited for a new challenge but I've also had a blast covering the Environment brief for two and a half years at the Daily Record. To everyone who has helped me with stories at the Record, please keep in touch!

I always knew having a player who backflipped whenever he scored would pay off #lufc

The more we score, the angrier Andy Hinchcliffe gets. By the end, he will have transcended his bodily form to become pure puce energy.

I do think we need to haul in JD Vance for questioning. And yes, I’ll take the case.

End of an era for the Scottish Greens, with Patrick Harvie standing down as co-leader. Under party rules he will now need to hand back the party's collection of waistcoats & will need to sleep on a lower branch in the Scottish Green party's tree, potentially leaving him at greater risk of predation

Billionaire Jim Ratcliffe has been accused of building a new £2 billion ground for Manchester Utd on the “ashes” of Grangemouth.

Absolutely brilliant and COMPLETELY ACCURATE by John Davis Enjoy and repost www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

More than 1,400 bus routes across Scotland have been slashed by private operators since the SNP came to power in 2007. 190 were lost in the last year alone.

I said it in November and I say it again now, with horror and sadness. Trump's second term is going to be the most catastrophic world event of our lifetimes. It will take decades for humanity to recover from it. If we ever do.

Workers have been let down by politicians. The people and the community of Grangemouth won't forget. 📰More from @rozfoyer.bsky.social with @danvevers.bsky.social in today's @dailyrecord.co.uk 🔗@unitetheunion.bsky.social www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politic...

Some serious destruction in and around Kelvingrove Park in #Glasgow the day after #StormEowyn

Can you imagine if these oddballs actually got in charge of a country? Oh wait…

Two goals in two for Largie Ramazani. The lad has the X-factor and I do feel he has to be starting. Tough call to drop anyone but Dan James has dropped off a bit. Having his pace off the bench wouldn’t be a bad thing. #lufc

None of this would be happening if Zuckerberg and Musk had just beat each other up as we asked

Unbelievable. For once, Leeds United haven’t ruined my Christmas. #lufc

Honoured to be runner-up in the 2024 Writers & Artists Working-Class Writers’ Prize. Massive congrats to winner James Connolly and fellow runner-up Rachel Anderson! I can’t wait to read your books someday. As for me, I’ll just keep on trucking in 2025… www.writersandartists.co.uk/advice/winne...

Away from home. Shit ref. 80% possession. Zero shots on target. This Is Leeds. #lufc

The prize of promotion for Leeds United is clear: to never have to listen to Andy Hinchcliffe again. #lufc

Totally buzzing to be longlisted for the 2024 Writers & Artists Working-Class Writers’ Prize. I’m just a guy… who wanted to write a story about Jesus knowing martial arts… and set it in modern-day Glasgow. And it really just spiralled from there. Good luck and congrats to everyone longlisted! 🍻

Everyone having a good night? I’m out with my sister and wife and getting deep into family dynamics. Turns out, we’re hilarious.

Oran Mor, Glasgow. Looking just terrific.

Never been to the Mackintosh Church in Glasgow before and I am really enjoying myself. Even better, here to see Rachel Sermanni.

What a ridiculous match of football 😂 Good advert for the championship, poor advert for heart health. Fair play to Swansea for actually playing football - cruel result for them, brilliant for us. Sounds strange when conceding 3, but I feel we’ve needed a win like this. Get in, Leeds! #lufc #mot

Ben Wilson from @sciaf.bsky.social tells us the mood at the summit in Azerbaijan is very tense. “We’ve got a final few hours to save the planet - because it's only if we get a deal out of COP29 that we're going to stay on track towards our climate commitments.” www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottis...

EXC: A Scot at #COP29 in Baku has warned there are hours left to save the planet - and save the UN climate summit from collapsing into a disastrous 'flop'. Talks are officially in 'overtime' and stuck on the details of climate finance for poorer nations. www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottis...

Don’t want to get too carried away, but Ben Doak is the most exciting new Scotland player I can remember in a very long time. Composure and final ball is improving all the time. Could be an absolute star for us. Can’t say I’m massively looking forward to Boro coming to Leeds next month, though.

My exclusive story on the front page of today’s Daily Record: ScotRail urged to ditch first-class seating as figures show just 2% used last year - leaving 150k seats going spare every month on train services. “It’s such a waste,” says @markruskell.bsky.social www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottis...

Hello New Twitter, this is like the olden days, eh. I see some other folk have done posts introducing themselves so here’s mine. I’m a Glasgow-based writer and journalist best known for always needing a haircut and compulsively taking a picture every time I see a squirrel.
