Andrew O’Hagan on Mummy’s favourite
www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...
👀- very interesting
I see they did a puff piece on Peggie at the weekend. Interesting to note that she had to ‘look up the meaning of ‘bigot’’and that she and her family were guests at Rowling’s 60 th and are in regular contact. Would suggest that Rowling is indeed the finance behind Peggie’s multiple cases/appeals ?
Lucia Osborne-Crowley is one of the most remarkable campaigners and writers working today. This profile piece is quite the read.
Brilliant read by Andrew O’Hagan 🔥
“Ever since their first, technically disastrous broadcast, through to the party’s general secretary being suspended over allegations of gross misconduct, Alba have wandered a field of embarrassments, the Darien Scheme of Scottish politics…” www.thenational.scot/politics/259...
Well said. First time I’d heard your voice too. Lots of ordinary Glaswegians ,myself included have been adversely affected by this for years. And the two pile ons on Twitter I’ve had both came from that quarter too, once just agreeing with a colleague of yours after the George Square ‘party’ .
I notice that none of the GC brigade have bothered to voice concern about this -deafening silence as per usual when their side fucks up
Re the Glasgow School of Art: there was supposedly a confidential insurance arbitration hearing scheduled in February- Be good to know the outcome and see if any grounds for hope.
And I agree with much of your piece- we need to know how to help
My feed is already awash with Glasgow fire conspiracy theorists talking mince. For some actual facts about the prevalence of conflagrations in the city, it’s well worth reading this brilliant, long-in-the-making analysis with map from @glasgowbell.bsky.social www.glasgowbell.co.uk/tinderbox-fi...
This is a good piece which also addresses the disinformation online
I'm told some Labour MPs are unhappy with this latest act of hostility towards trans people being blamed on Streeting. That feels silly or naïve. It's happening because Wesley kept in place in the NHS, indeed encouraged, the ideologues that Kemi Badenoch *told us* she introduced to key positions.
Worth a read 🧵
I ❤️ Glasgow so I'm reposting this thread re the culture of the city (sex & chips). So, ages ago (when I didn't live here) I visited my daughter. We had dinner up at the bar near her pad. High excitement cos the barman, I swear to God, *winked* at me. Now I was 51 & (as you know) a serious novelist.
I thought this was a joke, but "Ms Badenoch has ranked MPs based on how well they are performing on X" is an actual quote from this article.
Several ‘feminists’ over on x decrying IWD because other women disagree with their point of view is certainly a look- all the usual suspects
The fire on Union Street yesterday and overnight is absolutely devastating, a dark day for Glasgow. Central Station remains closed for the time being. I am hugely grateful to the emergency services who have worked throughout the night to contain the blaze and limit the damage.
They also curated a raft of toxic commentators on every Peggie ‘exclusive’ for months for rage bait. One of the reasons I’ve not renewed my subscription and K mckenna’s bile filled articles is the other. Clearly the editorial team is promoting that and I don’t wish to pay for that.
Lmao
Oh aye, the only press reporting it is the despicable Sun and Scottish Daily Express rags and if the one throwing insults was doing so in any official capacity at that event that needs to be addressed too- it did look like that from the film.
So these ‘feminists’ think it’s acceptable to stage a premeditated confrontation with Nicola Sturgeon at an official International Women’s Day event in the city chambers -shameful behaviour which probably upset other guests too

Well said Christopher and btw that ‘Mary Queen of Scots ‘ ballet is fantastic- I hope Chalamet takes up the offer
The actor David Tennant, a man wearing glasses, smiles and holds aloft a sign that reads “Will you sign the letter?” As Georgia Tennant chats to people stood behind at an event
We’ve seen some amazing feedback and support for the campaign this week, perhaps most importantly from the trans+ community themselves, although a couple of higher profile allies have really helped boost our message.
Thank you David and Georgia Tennant 🙏
