I was pleased to lodge a motion in @ScotParl to mark #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek which has received cross party support. This years theme is #MomentsForMovement . Movement is important for good mental health but we must make sure physical activity and sport are accessible to all.

If you’ve been governing a country for 17 years and declare a housing emergency, isn’t that essentially a massive admission of failure?

V interesting new analysis out today from the @IPPR . There have been plenty of reports saying we need to do what we can to rebuild manufacturing & grow green tech. But WHICH SECTORS could the UK actually compete in? This report provides some of the answers

But they do: collectively universities lose £1bn a year teaching home students and £5 bn a year on research which is not fully funded. The business model is a result of political decisions over a decade of frozen funding for UK students.

#PlanningStuff in #Glasgow : Funny to stumble across a 1988 edition of the Glaswegian with a column about the Italian Centre: “…the first centre of its type in Europe” Heady days when Glasgow set the pace! Where are the Classical House developers of today to do the equivalent 🤔?

BREAKING Labour councillors on @GlasgowCC have lodged a motion opposing teacher cuts and calling for more government funding. The current budget deal, agreed by SNP & Green councillors, means the loss of up to 450 teaching posts over 3 years.

This #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek , get moving for your mental health by finding moments for movement every day. For example, this week I am trying to find the time to walk between meetings instead of using the car. Share your own small #MomentsforMovement using the hashtag.

Interest from govts in mission-oriented economic policy is growing, but it requires more than just relabelling institutions & policies: it requires fundamental changes that align social, environmental & economic goals. Me + @RainerKattel in @ProSyn ⬇️

Austerity’s children – those born after 2010 – now account for 3.4m of Britain’s 4.3m children in poverty, with an extra 100k children pushed into poverty every year. The damage to them runs deep and will have devastating consequences. [Thread]
