Hi everyone.

New on here, but keen to grow this account rapidly and work together with you all to build a better world.

I won’t be leaving Twitter, but it’s good to do both.

Please follow me, and I promise I’ll follow you back 💪

Together we’ll deliver positive change for everyone 💯
I’d be thrilled if Hearts could go all the way to glory ⚽️

Scottish football badly needs an exciting story. The Rangers-Celtic duopoly since the 90s has made it almost an afterthought.

Long way to go, but what a gamechanger it’ll be if the Edinburghers do it… 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

A truly heart-tearing moment as Sergio Aguiar and David Stancombe, the brave fathers of Southport victims Elsie Dot Stancombe and Alice da Silva Aguiar, win the Helen Rollason Award.

They dedicated it to their daughters and classmate Bebe King. So poignant and so so many tears 😭💔

Requiring foreign visitors to hand over 5 years of social media isn’t “security,” it’s unchecked government control.

All-seeing surveillance systems don’t make us safer. They are in direct opposition to our civil liberties.

Foreign tourists could be required to disclose 5 years of social media histories under Trump administration plan
The Customs and Border Protection proposal would apply even to countries that don't require visas to enter.

Congrats to Lando Norris on his first Formula 1 World Championship 🏎️

As late as August, it looked nearly impossible, but this has been a memorable comeback to triumph on the final weekend.

Here’s hoping it’s the first of many 👏

I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk?

But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession.

But that's just me

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

I hired and worked with Jamal for a year.
