The recording, at BBC Scotland’s Pacific Quay headquarters, will also see the unveiling of the new presenter of critically acclaimed music showcase – Roddy Hart. Says Roddy: “I’m utterly thrilled to be asked to be the new host of BBC Radio Scotland’s music show, The Quay Sessions. It’s a challenge I’m excited to meet and I can’t wait to take the show into a new phase of its life. “As a musician, I know just how important it is for both emerging and established artists to have the chance for their music to be heard and seen, and this show is an amazing opportunity to bring home- grown and international talent to our audiences down by the banks of the River Clyde at Pacific Quay. It’s one of Scotland’s most unique gigs, and I look forward to what will surely be some very special nights there." The singer-songwriter, who already presents a weekly music show for BBC Radio Scotland, also curates the Roaming Roots Revue for Celtic Connections each year and was Associate Musical Director of Sunshine on Leith.

With Jimmy in hiding after double crossing Lenny, the Mullens find themselves the focus of unwanted Murdoch attention. Bob fears Lenny has people following their every move and his suspicions are raised further when lawyer Stephen Faret turns up saying Jimmy needs Bob to get his stash of hidden money for him. Unsure about whether Stephen is telling the truth, Bob grows increasingly paranoid. Determined to smoke Jimmy out, Lenny threatens Bob – if he’s lying about Jimmy’s whereabouts, he’ll hurt the Mullens, that’ll bring Jimmy back. As the Mullens close rank, Amber susses out that Bob and Scarlett know more than they are letting on. As pressure grows, Bob resorts to desperate measures to protect the ones he loves, taking on Lenny in the process. Elsewhere, Liz has a bad fall in the charity shop and is hospitalised. Molly calms Liz’s fears at hospital but privately the friends worry about their future together. Jenny’s stunned when she gets an unexpected offer of a university place in England.

  • Fairwork UK Ratings 2021: Labour Standards in the Gig Economy 2 | Fairwork UK Ratings 2021
    Fairwork UK Ratings 2021: Labour Standards in the Gig Economy 2 | Fairwork UK Ratings 2021 Executive Summary The platform economy has found a fertile ground for growth in the UK, which has a relatively deregulated labour market, porous employment protections and weak collective representation rights. In recent years, there has been a significant increase in non-standard forms of employment, including zero-hour contracts, agency work and self-employment. Buttressed by rapid digitalisation and high internet connectivity among the general population, platform work has proliferated. Although precise figures are difficult to come by, the ONS estimated that in 2017 at least 4.4% of the UK population, or about 2.8 million people, worked in the platform economy. The COVID-19 crisis is likely to have accelerated this growth trend, with lockdown measures pushing many people into online shopping and remote working. This report presents the first set though only five provide workers of Fairwork ratings for the UK, and Key Findings with an effective safety net. establishes a baseline on the country’s The eleven platforms we platform economy that will be updated � Fair Contracts: Five platforms evaluated achieved scores � on a yearly basis.
