For people remaining committed to the everything-is-shit-in-Glasgow narrative the cognitive dissonance must actually be becoming painful.

In 1998 the UK's 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th largest city regions (Greater Manchester, Greater Birmingham, Greater Leeds, Greater Glasgow) have economies of exactly the same strength. By 2024, they have diverged enormously. And to the surprise of so many, it's Glasgow that comes top.

Thank you for your patience.
The most likely explanation for this was always a road traffic accident. But last night we saw multiple accounts implying or even stating this was terrorism.
These people will use any incident to spread fear and alarm for their own gain.
Around 3.45pm on Tuesday, 10 November, we received a report of a crash involving a car and a number of pedestrians on Hyndland Road, Glasgow.
Six people were taken to hospital for treatment following the incident.

Council Leader @Bell45 was completely right to call on people not to speculate until the facts were clear.
We should all question the motives of people who pretend to be concerned in order to imply something sinister before we react or share.

On 11/11/26, several schools in Scotland & across the UK received threatening messages. Our enquiries have established that there is nothing to suggest that they represent a credible threat or that there is any wider threat to the public.

My thoughts are with everyone affected by what's happened at Hyndland Road. I'm grateful to all the emergency services who were at the scene. We now need to allow Police Scotland to establish exactly what happened. Speculation at this stage helps no one.

NEW: UK Foreign Secretary @Ed_Miliband has told Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov that he and his government are responsible for killing innocent civilians, condemning Thursday’s attack on Dnipro railway station
Speaking directly to Lavrov at a meeting of G20 foreign ministers in the US today, Miliband said:
"Let me say this directly to the Russian Foreign Minister: we all know who the aggressor in this war is. Let's talk about what happened at Dnipro railway yesterday. Only yesterday your drones attacked and killed 15 people. And there are countless examples like this of you killing innocent civilians throughout this war. We all know you are the aggressor. We all know you started this war four and a half years ago with the full scale invasion of Ukraine. "
"And Putin thought then he would win this war easily. But you are are not winning this war. Thanks to the courage of the Ukrainian people and the solidarity of countries round this table, you are not winning. If you had the courage to tell the truth and to do what is right you would tell Putin that he is not winning this war and will not win."
Friends with T1 kids tell me they perceive people to believe diabetes is caused by too many sweeties. So, yes, there are people who feel stigmatised by other people’s perceptions.
We are told on our workplace intranet that it is world diabetes day coming up. The aim is to reduce stigma.
Genuinely, who is stigmatising the diabetic? Do we even have a slur for the insulin deprived?

My job means I'm politically restricted so I need to be careful about this, but Twiglets are horrible. Genuinley nasty. I can't understand why anyone likes them.
The Andy Burnham Gogglebox episode will feature an extensive section of banter about crisps. He says he stocks skips, twiglets, pork scratchings and bacon fries in no10.

I’ve always feared how much the tech bros have read Iain Banks and just not got the point of it.

Almost nothing makes me happier than good customer service.
Really nice customer service from @LEGO_Group - if you're missing a piece, they just... send it to you.
