Despite the Social Justice and Social Security Committee’s pre-budget call for a funding system that is fair, flexible, sustainable and accessible, we failed to see that materialise in today's #ScottishBudget

Spot on. Comprehensive pedestrianisation should be far higher up the agenda in our cities than it is. Nearly wherever cars go, cities get worse. Nearly wherever they’re removed, those urban spaces flourish.
Before & After: I don’t think people realize the extent to which parked cars degrade public space.

In our recruitment process, we started sharing interview questions with candidates in advance to help with inclusivity.
Recent experience suggests people are ChatGPTing their answers.
Don’t - it’s obvious that they’re not your words and will be suspiciously similar to everyone else.
