Clydebank man possessing knife was wearing body armour
Thomas Gallagher was drinking in the company of a pregnant woman at a property in Second Avenue when he started calling her "the devil". The 39-year-old was shouting and acting aggressively. The woman was distressed and left while barefoot, Dumbarton Sheriff Court was told. A witness saw her and could hear her crying. Another neighbour heard Gallagher threatening to "murder" her and "I hope you die". Around 1.10am, police arrived. The man answered the door, intoxicated, and started threatening officers. He was repeatedly reminded they were there to check on the welfare of everyone there.

As additional police arrived, he then opened his tracksuit top and showed his armour and a knife in the front pouch. Gallagher, listed in court papers as a prisoner at Low Moss, also had a knuckleduster in his right trouser pocket. Police had to deploy PAVA spray to his face. He pleaded guilty in June to shouting, swearing, uttering threats and making derogatory remarks towards his partner at a property on February 8 this year. It was aggravated by being against a partner or ex. He further shouted, swore and uttered threats of violence and made homophobic remarks to two police officers. This was aggravated by prejudice relating to sexual orientation. And he admitted having a knife and having a knuckleduster.

At sentencing on July 8, his defence solicitor said it was an "extremely frightening incident". "He is apologetic about his behaviour on the night in question," he said. There was not just alcohol in his client's system, but a "cocktail" that "acted as a catalyst for his behaviour". He accepted Gallagher had a lengthy record, including for past offences of violence. But he said the last one was 10 years ago. Because he had been locked up for about five months, under automatic early release, that was a 10-month sentence, explained the solicitor. Sheriff Robert Carr said: "This was an incident involving appalling behaviour on your partner. "You have a bad record. There is no alternative to a custodial sentence." He jailed Gallagher for 10 months, backdated to February 10.

Liam and Noel Gallagher's estranged father Tommy lashes out at Oasis stars in foul-mouthed rant
The estranged father of Liam and Noel Gallagher has hit out at his sons by saying they 'don't know f***ing music'. Irish-born Thomas Augustin Gallagher hasn't seen the Oasis duo for years, who've never forgiven him for how they treated their mother Peggy when they were boys. Since the duo reunited for their tour last week, a video has come to light of Thomas - who goes by Tommy - dismissing his sons' illustrious career. In the 2018 video, TikToker Jack Burke was filming in Manchester when Tommy walked past and intervened, saying: 'Have you heard of the band Oasis? I'm their father. Noel and Liam Gallagher.' When Jack asked for his name, he said: 'Thomas Augustus Gallagher' - pulling his passport out of his pocket to show to Jack. As Jack walks off, Tommy retorts: '[Them] guys talking about music, they wouldn't f***ing know music if it f***ing bit them.' In the comments section of the video, one follower claimed that Tommy is a regular where she works and often boasts about being their father. She claimed: 'He always comes in the pub I work in telling us all.' MailOnline has contacted Liam and Noel's representatives for comment. Tommy and Peggy divorced in 1986 after being separated for a number of years, with Peggy moving out of their family home in Burnage with their sons after Tommy's drinking and gambling problem spiralled into violent outbursts. Noel was 19 and Liam 14 at the time. Speaking about the split, Peggy previously said: 'I left him a knife and a fork and a spoon. And I think I left him too much.' Noel and Liam cut ties with their father when they moved out, with Liam opening about his childhood in a 2018 interview with The Telegraph. He said: 'I was about seven when my mam left my dad. He was out all the time, fighting, beating my mam up, beating Noel and Paul up. Never touched me, though. 'Then, one night, while he was out, my mam got her brothers round, got all our gear in a truck, left him a mattress, and we went off to our new house.' Meanwhile, Noel confessed the abuse he suffered at the hands of his 'violent, alcoholic' father made him worry about what sort of parent he would be. Speaking on Radio 4's Desert Island Discs in 2015, he revealed he developed a stammer as a result of the beatings he got from his father, and said he didn't want to repeat the mistakes which scarred his 'horrific' childhood. Tommy last made headlines in 2021 when he urged his sons to buy their three-bed childhood home to save him from homelessness. He'd lived there since 1972. He faced having his house repossessed when his mortgage deal expired, leaving him needing to cough up £27,000. He claimed a childhood pal of Noel's called Thomas Keenan suggested his brother Ricky could buy the house for him, and it was agreed he could live in the home rent-free. However it is alleged he actually signed papers agreeing to pay £650 a month in rent. The house is now owned by a property firm and neighbours say they haven't seen Tommy in a while. Last week saw Liam and Noel reunite for the first time in 16 years as they kicked off their tour in Cardiff on Friday. Fans of the band were blown away as the duo delivered an electrifying set, packed with energy and nostalgia. Throughout their various sets, poignant pictures of the family's home in Manchester flashed up on the screen along with baby pictures of both brothers. Old black and white pictures of their mum Peggy and dad Tommy were also flashed in the screen from time to time as Stand By Me played. On Saturday night, Noel and Liam continued their display of unity as they held hands during their entrance. While the pair had chemistry on stage, it's been said Liam and Noel are taking extreme measures throughout their reunion tour by staying apart to avoid another rift. It's claimed they are staying in separate hotels half an hour away from each other.

Genprex to Participate at BIO 2025 International Convention
AUSTIN, Texas, June 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Genprex, Inc. ("Genprex" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: GNPX), a clinical-stage gene therapy company focused on developing life-changing therapies for patients with cancer and diabetes, today announced that its team will be attending and participating at the BIO 2025 International Convention taking place June 16-19, 2025 in Boston, Mass. In attendance from Genprex's executive leadership team will be Thomas Gallagher, Senior Vice President of Intellectual Property and Licensing. Throughout the duration of the conference, Mr. Gallagher will be available in-person to conduct one-on-one meetings with industry groups to provide an overview of the Company's gene therapies for cancer and diabetes. For those interested in meeting with Mr. Gallagher or other members of Genprex's management team, please request a meeting through the conference meeting portal or by contacting Investor Relations at investors@ The BIO International Convention is the largest and most comprehensive event for biotechnology, representing the full ecosystem of biotech with 20,000 industry leaders from across the globe. About Genprex, Inc. is a clinical-stage gene therapy company focused on developing life-changing therapies for patients with cancer and diabetes. Genprex's technologies are designed to administer disease-fighting genes to provide new therapies for large patient populations with cancer and diabetes who currently have limited treatment options. Genprex works with world-class institutions and collaborators to develop drug candidates to further its pipeline of gene therapies in order to provide novel treatment approaches. Genprex's oncology program utilizes its systemic, non-viral Oncoprex® Delivery System which encapsulates the gene-expressing plasmids using lipid-based nanoparticles in a lipoplex form. The resultant product is administered intravenously, where it is taken up by tumor cells that then express tumor suppressor proteins that were deficient in the tumor. The Company's lead product candidate, Reqorsa® Gene Therapy (quaratusugene ozeplasmid), is being evaluated in two clinical trials as a treatment for NSCLC and SCLC. Each of Genprex's lung cancer clinical programs has received a Fast Track Designation from the FDA for the treatment of that patient population, and Genprex's SCLC program has received an FDA Orphan Drug Designation. Genprex's diabetes gene therapy approach is comprised of a novel infusion process that uses an AAV vector to deliver Pdx1 and MafA genes directly to the pancreas. In models of Type 1 diabetes, GPX-002 transforms alpha cells in the pancreas into functional beta-like cells, which can produce insulin but may be distinct enough from beta cells to evade the body's immune system. In a similar approach for Type 2 diabetes, where autoimmunity is not at play, GPX-002 is believed to rejuvenate and replenish exhausted beta cells.
