Terrific book. Very readable and so interesting. All your answers to why things (often not great) happen in Glasgow.

If you care about Glasgow read this book.

Brilliant news about the Divest Dundee campaign today! 🤩 Ive been campaigning for more than five years to get my workplace - the University of Dundee - to commit to divesting its endowment from fossil fuel companies. Today they finally did it! Thanks to People & Planet and to Hannah Feuerstein and all the brilliant students who have helped pile the pressure on!
