This is the one in Glasgow!

First time visiting Victoria Park since I was a child. It's a lovely wee park for a walk - and pleasantly surprised it has a wee tuck shop & public toilets!

Definitely be back for a run after my cold is gone! 🍵📚🍂

My teacher once asked us "what would Jesus do if he was walking down the street & came across a homeless man with no t-shirt on?"

It was a no-brainer.

So-called Christians would do well to remember who & what Jesus stood for before weaponising faith to justify bigotry.

Love thy neighbour innit.

In Belgium they have cancelled Disturbed's gig.

When is Glasgow going to do the right thing and stop the zionist scum playing in the Hydro?

@johnswinney.bsky.social - you were only too happy to stop other gigs.

Get it done.

Zack Polanski used the ‘F’ word twice on BBCQT last night… and the audience applauded him for it 👇

"You actually are a fascist from a far right party… this is racism, this is facism and we should call it out"

It's ceasefire,
then lift the siege,
then end the occupation,
then Free Palestine.

Gaza rests. We keep going.

No justice, no peace.

Borders are silly.

Arbitrary lines drawn on a map, randomly allocating rights & entitlements.

The rich know no borders. They exist to control the poor. To pit us against each other. To profit from war. To stifle solidarity.

Reject the division.

The earth belongs to all of us or none of us.

It's a breath of fresh air to see journalists exposing the real stories for a change.

The UK is increasingly profitting from genocide & our government is demonstrably complicit.

Lammy & Starmer are for the Hague.

People encouraging other people at the gym is one of my favourite things to see. 🥰💪

It's no competition. It's progress over perfection & we're all on our own journeys, but simultaneously in it together!

Show up. You'll never ever regret it! 💛✨️

That's a shame. That would be difficult! But ofc - only bad workout is the one you didn't do and all that! 💪

Greta Thunberg has just been released and she is back on the warpath, exactly like our leaders should be.

Israel will never silence her or the billions who oppose them.

The US are the same comrades I have here.

You either work for a living or you don't. Count yourself in that.

It's my responsibility as much as yours to ensure our class speaks for us.

Don't sit on a soap box and dismiss. Get involved.

This is our fight.
