Voters in Airdrie and Shotts are set to go to the polls for the second time in a week, this time to choose their local MP.
A Westminster by-election - triggered by the resignation of MP Neil Gray, who has just been elected the area s MSP - will be held on Thursday.
Who are the candidates, and what are the issues which might decide the contest?
The Airdrie and Shotts by-election will take place on the same day as former MP Neil Gray is sworn in as an MSP at Holyrood.
SHE’S been on the Scottish Parliament campaign trail for weeks while running her own push for Westminster. Going by last week’s Holyrood election results, the odds are in SNP candidate Anum Qaisar-Javed’s favour ahead of this week’s Airdrie and Shotts by-election. The vacancy opened up when the SNP’s Neil Gray resigned from the seat to stand in for the Scottish Parliament. He was successful, as was every other SNP constituency candidate in North Lanarkshire. The local authority area, once solidly Labour red, is once again completely yellow – voters elected five separate SNP MSPs, including Clare Adamson, Jamie Hepburn, Fulton MacGregor and Stephanie Callaghan.

While the market is digesting the implications Rocket’s earnings (the shares are down in pre-market trading), remember when, in March 2020, it was as if someone flipped a switch and suddenly everyone was working from home. Now, however, owners and managers of lenders and vendors across the nation are debating allowing employees to continue working from home, requesting everyone come back into the office, or some type of hybrid. Goldman Sachs, for one, has told U.S. employees to return to the office by mid-June and U.K. workers to return shortly thereafter. We know from experience that our culture of collaboration, innovation and apprenticeship thrives when our people come together, according to an internal memo. Google expects 20 percent back in the office, with 60 percent in a hybrid model. Meanwhile, a segment of workers are embracing

A “google” is the large number of 1 with 100 zeroes after it. For lenders, a billion is a large number, and it would be unheard of for a lender to save $1 billion in costs. But that is what Google’s parent Alphabet Inc. is saving, per year in costs, because employees are working from home, not traveling, not paying for company promotions, travel, or entertainment. (Wing is also a company owned by Alphabet, and is a drone company delivering Girl Scout Cookies to an area in Virginia.) While lenders are focused on the cost to manufacture a loan, and CEOs are busy educating their staffs about existing costs and reducing them, other people are… trying to sell an island in Florida at $3 million per bedroom?

Not you, of course, but many other people in our biz are elderly. Sure you haven’t seen them in person in a year, but they’re there. Or they have elderly parents. Heck, is “elderly” a bad word now? Seriously, I hope everyone reading this has a long and fruitful life, and when I hit “elderly,” I hope that I’m put into this alternative living village. Speaking of lifestyles and renting, do you wonder where some of the potential inventory is going? How ‘bout to new neighborhoods that builders are building just for renters! Just like we’ve all seen salmon heading upstream into bears’ maws, and wonder how any of them make it upstream, many wonder how a house or subdivision reaches completion. Remodeling a bathroom? How long do you have to wait for a faucet? “The three main factors in the ongoi
