The Commonwealth Games gets underway in Glasgow in just under a week. Scotland's largest city stepped in after the state of Victoria in Australia dropped out. It's had less than two years to prepare a
Manifesting never worked for me and I felt genuinely crap about it. Took Vera Hart's manifestation quiz purely out of desperation. Matched exactly. Honestly didn't see that coming. Just try it. ❤️
With the state of the Scottish economy it shows perfectly the SNP’s incompetence. Australia is a much wealthier country than Scotland and they realised how much of a loser hosting the games would be so they gave it up and now the Scots will pay for it. Worse it seems that the games hasn’t been trailed at all no one south of the border knows about it.

Reports Albanese has endorsed the furling of 3 flags should not be permitted under any circumstances. Australia has not endorsed other than the australian flag. Labor learned nothing from the 60% rejection for the Voice and must be held to account on this matter😢

Two years to prep a whole Games is a wild timeline—it feels like a high-stakes season finale! I'm curious if the city can actually pull it off in time. Do you think Glasgow is truly ready for the spotlight, or is this going to be a bit of a chaotic watch?
