The Herald today is on the case of an imaginary Glasgow as part of the help-Anas campaign for the May 2026 Scottish Election. It’s one of a set such as ferries, baby and drug deaths, that they use repeatedly to make Scotland seem less, much less, than it is.

Here are just few reasons why SNP-run Glasgow is miles better than they wish and how it compares very well with any English city:

As Audit Scotland and BBC Scotland find bad news on Glasgow have they ever told you how crime in Glasgow fell far below level in English cities?

Edinburgh and Glasgow rated as best small cities in UK

Repeated hard evidence that there is no postcode lottery in Scotland’s hospitals and that Glasgow’s super hospital is actually safer than average

SNP-run Glasgow City builds more than SIX times as many affordable homes as Labour-run Birmingham City thanks to £94 million from SNP Government

Glasgow’s growing productivity to leave all but one major English city behind

Glasgow’s SNP council to increase council tax by far less than Birmingham Labour council AND increase staff and free school meals while they impose ‘devastating cuts’

Families in Labour-run Bath and North-East Somerset wait 40 to 200 times as long for social housing as those in SNP-run Glasgow or across Scotland

Rape!!! Glasgow Herald works only to scare women with irresponsible, uninformative reporting – Reported rape and attempted rape is a staggering twice as common in England & Wales than it is in Scotland

Residents living near the Thistle safe drug consumption facility in Glasgow pay only a TENTH of the bill for removing discarded needles after it opened than they did before it opened to further expose BBC Scotland’s bias by selection
