GRANGEMOUTHLast year, the future of British Steel was on the line. Scunthorpeโs steel furnaces were hours away from shutting down. I couldnโt let thousands of people lose their jobs. So we saved British Steel. Time and again, people want to write off Britainโs workers. The Tories did it - 85 years since the #Clydebank Blitz. On the nights of 13th and 14th March 1941 German bombers devastated the Burgh. 528 people were killed and around 35,000 were left homeless. Scotland greatest loss of life in the modern era. Do not forget their names. hansard.parliament.uk/commons/2016-0โฆ

If you've seen the Sunday Times today you'll know Labour Together were secretly hiring people to investigate journalists. Sadly you won't know that The National exclusively broke this story six months ago, since our work is not credited at all.The National revealed that Starmer's allies at Labour Together were hiring investigators to look into journalists and writers back in September, in this great piece by @PulaRJS and @OborneTweets These are the people running the country. It's bleak. thenational.scot/news/25504037.โฆ - โฆ Iโd say Technology governance is too important to outsource to X threads @columeastwood and stacked headlines and dramatic quotes are not proof of runaway autonomy.This is really serious
