If Police Scotland receives no increase in its budget next year, around 1,260 jobs could be lost, including 958 police officers and 302 civilian staff. And a further 400 police officers could then have to go in the following year.

Rejoin the EU, said Scottish Labour leader @michaeljmarra earlier this week. The right move at the right time? Our Scottish Director Francesca Brennan spoke to @StephenJardine on @BBCRadioScot this morning about Marra’s speech and the distinct @ScottishLabour position.

At 11am today, Glasgow fell silent. People gathered at the Cenotaph in George Square to observe the traditional two-minute silence on Armistice Day, marking the moment the guns fell silent at the end of the First World War in 1918.
Lest we forget.

Weeks before Christmas, Glasgow’s SNP leader still won’t rule out fire and rehire for council workers.

It was a privilege to volunteer with Sonia from @poppyscotland this week.
As we mark 100 years of the poppy in Scotland, I'm grateful to the dedicated volunteers raising funds to support veterans and their families across the country.
If you want to support the amazing work of Poppy Scotland, pick up a poppy, donate, or get involved as a volunteer👇

A proud and personal moment as Glasgow’s updated WW1 Roll of Honour was presented to the city.
My great-grandfather was incorrectly listed in the original Roll. Seeing that put right means so much.
Hear how John Houston’s remarkable work and commitment made this possible 🎥 👇

1/2 - Islamophobia Awareness Month is a reminder that prejudice doesn’t disappear because we condemn it once a year. We have to challenge it when we hear it and support those who experience it.

Minister of Glasgow Cathedral, Rev. Mark Edward Johnstone, recites Binyon’s Lines at the Remembrance Sunday service in Glasgow’s George Square.
During the service, he spoke of the 'transformed' square and asked that people remember not only those who fell long ago, but those who 'have woken up today' bearing the loss of war across the world.
