A timely reminder of a more dignified politics. I liked the anecdotes about Charles' time at @GUUnion. It was a place where working class students realised they were as good as anyone. As Charles said, "the University gives you your degree but the Union gives you your education." https://t.co/lDhzKdSRzU

@labour_history @georgegalloway @GerryHassan @ScotLabHistory @EnglishRadical @AnasSarwar @IanMurrayMP @EvaCMurray @RTHondavehanson @NotADayPodcast @Labourpaul Here's a photo essay from @ewangibbs' recent pilgrimage to the Scottish Co-operative Wholesale Society's once sprawling headquarters complex at Dalintober Street. It merged with CWS (Manchester) Ltd in 1973 to form @coopuk. HQ was sold for housing in 1999. https://t.co/tp8mOfA5NL
@AlexHynes @ScotRail @NetworkRailSCOT @transcotland Looks great, and hopefully sensitive engineering solutions can be found to preserve heritage features, like this one in Pollokshields. https://t.co/Nsh0MmqLlc
@mmgeissler Happy half century day!

@jruddy99 @RC_Garrioch It might have some truth if Welsh Labour's General Secretary was Mark Drakeford's wife, if Welsh Labour had pursued an orchestrated project to install party activists across the third sector over decades, harass media, and use grant funding to reinforce a culture of clientelism.
The SNP have wasted over a thousand million pounds in botched procurement, unlawful activity, and administrative failure over the last five years alone. Think what that thousand million pounds could have done for Scots, if utilised competently? https://t.co/iAnHWjclmF
@DarrenMcLean_uk @MurphyNiallGLA Looks like it'll need a lot of work to stabilise!
