Labour ought to be challenging the SNP for scaling back active travel since the coalition ended, not carrying on like this. Utterly disheartening

Four tall paintings in identical gilt frames against a green wall. They show women at work in a boot factory.

Love these paintings in Kingswood Heritage Museum showing women at work in GB Britton & Sons’ Bristol shoe & boot factory

Sadly no info on the artist or when they were painted @artukdotorg.bsky.social @workingclasshistory.com

It's public now: Glasgow City Council, who some years ago announced a plan for 270km of cycle lanes by 2030, now intend to build 54km by 2032. They blame Transport Scotland. I don't care who's fault it is - you're all the SNP. Sort it out.

Took a detour to see the devastation on Union/Gordon St on the way to a Q&A with Edgar Wright at the GFT. He talked about Glasgow’s strength as a film location being its diversity of architecture. Let’s not lose that

Excellent stuff from The Bell. Glad to have curious and invested journalists working hard in and for the city - a rarity these days, and worth treasuring.

There should be asbestos awareness training in schools, that stuff is everywhere

At the risk of stating the obvious, folk need to keep away from the fumes

I’m assuming we don’t yet know if there’s asbestos or other nasties in that building
