Dalmarnock Primary's been offering family learning for years.
It's sad *some* parents are boycotting a school cause asylum seeker families get that support too via ESOL.
Funny how certain folk never raised PVG concerns for other family learning on offer...

Glasgow's Vistor Levy Forum will have both Community & Worker voices sitting on it after Green amendments agreed unanimously. 💚✊️
This will help balance the voices from big business who sit on the forum, to make sure investment focuses on people who live and work in Glasgow too 🏘

Tonight we have the chance to qualify for our first World Cup since 1998. It could be spectacular.
And every single group game has been shown live on free-to-view TV.
Our national team is for all of us. It should never return to being hidden behind a paywall.

TL:DR:
- New leadership must sit up, listen, & *act* as a radical alternative to the status quo, not just the rhetoric of one 🗣
- This & left unity can rebuild trust with voters crying out for change ✊️
