NEW: Glasgow City Council has just approved a massive AI-generated mural to be painted in the city centre.
The illustration of Scottish elements inexplicably contains a bald eagle.
The planner says those upset about it are "keyboard warriors" who should "calm down"

Latest figures out today show Scotland’s unemployment rate fell to 3.7%, and is below the UK rate of 5.1%.
If Scotland can do this with limited economic powers, imagine what more we could do if we had the full powers of independence.

New CBI report shows business investment in Scotland is at a 20-year high.
Despite damaging Westminster decisions like Brexit or Labour's tax on jobs, our economy has many strengths.

This incredible quote by playwright and #humanist George Bernard Shaw (recited here by Jeff Goldblum) feels like the perfect way to start a new week:
Shaw’s words remind us that life isn’t something to be cautiously preserved or merely endured: it’s something to be lived with purpose✨

Today is our 10th anniversary living in Scotland - we were two 24 & 26 year-old babies, with two suitcases, barely any savings and only each other. But Scotland embraced us, this country felt like home from the moment I first breathed it in, and it still feels like a dream to call Scotland home 🏴

Every country has a powerful right wing that argue “if you tax the wealthy, they’ll leave”
We need to start calling their bluff.
We need to make it so the ultra wealthy either contribute enough to be a positive part of society, or be globally shunned and unable to extract further funds from us.

Orkney Council has confirmed all profits from its new wind farm will go into local services - wealth will circulate locally, not flow to distant shareholders.
