This week, the Full Scottish is presented by Anne McLaughlin, with guests, James Dornan MSP and Glasgow city Councillor, Annette Christie. As time is running out on the disaster that is Brexit, the tories seem intent on driving the UK at full steam into the buffers without a deal. The inability (or perhaps DUP driven unwillingness) to comprehend Ireland’s concerns has left the UK unable to find much room for any renegotiation, with the other 27 EU nations standing firmly behind Ireland and the EU’s position. Donald Tusk came under fire from Brexiteers and the tory press for wondering if there might be a special place in hell for Brexiteers who didn’t have a plan. He found more sympathy for his remarks in Scotland. Glasgow City Council has signed off on its equal pay deal meaning women will get backdated pay. This ongoing situation, inherited from the previous Labour administration in Glasgow has finally been sorted, financed by the Council is re-mortgaging some of its most iconic buildings. Plans have been submitted to demolish Glasgow’s ABC. While the news was hardly unexpected, following the fire that engulfed it and the Glasgow School of Art, it is still sad news for the live music scene in Glasgow. Generations remember it for being a cinema or the music venue it was latterly. Could a new music venue rise like a phoenix from the ashes? Scotland’s First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon has been in the USA and Canada this week, to promote trade and cultural links. Both the diplomacy and trade will be very important as we stare down the barrel of the Brexit gun. There was another Union getting in a state this week, as Donald Trump delivered his second State of the Union address to the sarcastic applause of Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Join us for all this and more.
