Ah Glasgow Just heard two guys (def not from Glasgow) discussing pizza crunch. One was disappointed that by time it was cool enough to eat it wouldn’t crunch 😂

NEW: The excess UK deaths linked to coronavirus are likely to be around 41,000 as of yesterday, not the 17,337 of the hospital deaths announcements Here is the explanation for that estimate, which I will update daily 1/

This has not aged well. He nearly died following his own path and Jenny Harries is either incompetent or the Government’s stool pigeon. What medical school did she learn her epidemiology from? Once you think you’ve got it isolate yourself to prevent infecting others?? YIKES!!
From 3 minutes, Jenny Harries tells Johnson that we don’t need to worry about big events like Cheltenham as they don’t have much effect in spreading the virus. I mean, I’m no scientific expert but surely this is flawed advice ?

Totally agree + £51k RV max for £25k grant too low. Our tiny shop in @buch_galleries has RV of £59k. So no lifesaving grant for us and so far no CBIL. @pauline4glasgow @PeterMcDade @ProfTomkins @UofGVC
CBIL scheme for business needs to be: 100% gteed by gov, not administered by banks & viewed as a loan to a friend which may be repaid. Or a grant. Using normal banking criteria means it will NEVER reach the businesses that need it. @RishiSunak @AnnelieseDodds @KateForbesMSP

@Jackson_Carlaw many small business caught in the RV anomaly.£51k RV is very low for any Glasg/Edin city location. Most of Sauchiehall St which is a commercial wasteland is outwith this RV. These businesses battled the fire at GSA & are out again.
Should have been removal from her post. Now we have a half in half out CMO which is ridiculous. Government advisors must be able to be scrutinised for what they are advising. That is now impossible.

It wasn't just one mistake, she has done it on two consecutive weekends. Prince Charles was rightly condemned at the time, but since then the law has changed to make it an offence.

A tooth grinding, butt clenching car crash. How could @NicolaSturgeon put someone who isn’t a politician through that? Unbelievable callousness! She made a mammoth mess but she should be allowed to crawl under her bush and lick her wounds in private!

This is an embarrassing public crucifixion of @CathCalderwood1 . You should have allowed her to resign @NicolaSturgeon and not put her through this! Not a soul has an ounce of faith in her. Honestly a gynaecologist is the ONLY medic who can do the job of CMO?? Really?Rubbish!

Brilliant graphical representation of why social distancing matters. Please share #COVIDー19 PS I understand this was devised by Bruno Strigini, ex boss of pharma giant Novartis.

This article’s meatier than headline suggests. @Sunday_Post also reported the suggestion that the public have been duped into making donations “to rebuild the Mack” when seems their cash went elsewhere. No amount of growling by the Board should deter the quest for transparency.

ABC was crucial to the local economy too. It was the biggest creator of footfall and many businesses located in the street to service that footfall. Beyond sad to see it as it is.

Serious concerns about the governance of the Glasgow School of Art have emerged again. After the loss of the Mack, it's time for the Scottish Government and SFC to grip this institution, and commission a full public enquiry. Read more in the @Sunday_Post: sundaypost.com/fp/politician…

When is a cycle lane not a cycle lane? When it doesn’t look like a cycle lane and there’s insufficient signage to say it’s a cycle lane.
After huge @GlasgowCC investment in active travel and purpose built cycle path on Sauchiehall Street, its now being used by @Treatzdessert as A-board site 😔 Right in the middle of cycle path! It's ok to advertise, but be a lil more considerate 👍 @SustransScot

How sad for the business they used to frequent! Loyal customers lost in one fell swoop.
My friends who have Sunday breakfast in town now moved out of town. Sunday trains are few and far between. A policy that won’t help city business.

@FSBHisashiK Glasgow City Centre completely empty. Maybe charging for parking on a Sunday not such a good idea? 🤷🏻‍♂️

See this thread please @pauline4glasgow @ProfTomkins @patrickharvie @alisonthewliss @PaulJSweeney Hard to see how Sunday parking charges help fire hit businesses recover?

2/2 @FSBHisashiK Parking between St Vincent and Sauchiehall should be removed/reduced until business levels back to normal. Sunday charging is akin to kicking business when already down. It’s a low blow.

1/2 Interesting comments @FSBHisashiK Cart before horse tho? Invest in green infrastructure 1st or many businesses will be gone & will be nothing but empty units to walk to. Cutting parking charges would have made more sense to support the ailing high st bit.ly/2IYplrZ
