Hmmm, I was there at the weekend talking to family, there was definitely bloc voting. The discussion was what is route 1 to stopping reform take the seat and that was clearly Plaid. Clearly Labour were in a hole, but Green and Lib Dem voters definitely lent their votes to plaid

Ha!! I think it’s an easy mistake to make

catfordmum.bsky.social @catfordmum.bsky.social · Aug 21

Absolutely it is, I clocked a couple of weeks ago that reform stayed saying hotels and HMOs and thought, yip, that’s not accidental

Here's a cheery #HigherEducationPostcard of @uofglasgow.bsky.social‬ together with the Douglas crest (and possibly tartan too?)

I'm not sure what the connection between the Douglases and the University is: if you know, please do say!

And if you like this postcard, please share it!

A colour picture postcard showing a view of the University of Glasgow's wonderful Victorian gothic buildings on a hill above a lake. The image is surrounded by a tartan, and, on the left, a crest labelled Douglas
