Lewis Stevenson retires after playing through seven prime ministers, five first ministers, four US presidents and fourteen Hibs managers. An icon who persevered.

Please help out colleagues at Unite with their campaign to deliver a Just Transition for Grangemouth , this is a pivotal moment for all of us working for. Just Transition in Scotland

Any recommendations for reading or listening on the new nationalism in Ireland?

The UK must immediately suspend arms sales to Israel and every MP must play their part in making that happen. Failure to act now is unforgivable.

Scotland’s wind resources aren’t delivering the revenues or jobs for Scots that we were promised. It’s reminiscent of North Sea oil, with multinationals once again enjoying a bonanza, including companies owned by foreign governments.

Important reporting by Martin Williams.

You can read an essay I wrote on Scotland’s faltering green industrial revolution here. It develops a comparison with North Sea oil, emphasising that once again Scotland is losing out from the opportunities presents by hugely favourable resources. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Alfie Steer will be presenting a new take on the Labour Party between the 1980s and 2010s - not as a history of the modernisers but looking instead at how the Left survived and escaped its 'sealed tomb'.

Disappointed there wasn’t an actual Swinney coronation.

I’ve probably walked past the old school building in the Gorbals every other day for 6 years but only stopped to notice the Let Glasgow Flourish decoration today.
