A thought tonight 37 years after the events for all impacted in any way by the Lockerbie Disaster at the time or since. And for all those in Scotland's emergency services and the good hearted folk of Lockerbie and district who made such a difference in the worst of times. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇸

"I know Scottish football, I nearly signed for Carlisle" says Celtic manager Wilfried Nancy.

Is Wilfried Nancy the Liz Truss of Celtic?

As the polling suggests, Starmer's message to Scotland and Wales equals: "If you don't want Reform, vote SNP/Plaid." Genius tactics - unless of course McSweeney doesn't give a damn about either country. Surely not.....🤔

If he'd only made "Stand by Me" and "When Harry met Sally" Rob Reiner was one of the great directors, but his life, values and activism made him a great human. He carried on from his father Carl (Dick Van Dyke Show) as a major influence on humour, politics and humanity. 🙏❤️

A tense watch and a brave effort from @thehibees.bsky.social U19 v Dynamo Kyiv in the UEFA youth league. 1-1 on the night 1-2 aggregate. Lads can be proud, a great credit to themselves, coaches, families, club and country. 💚

Delighted to have a story again in this year's #leitrimguardian - approval from Leitrim folk the most important to me. Another great edition - for Leitrim folk everywhere.

“In a furious letter to Starmer, Welsh Labour members of the Senedd said the UK Government’s use of the Internal Market Act… was “at best deeply insensitive, at worst a constitutional outrage”.

Meanwhile there’s not a peep from UK Labour’s North Britain branch office.

WHERE IS SARWAR?
Where's Scottish Labour's outrage over Keir Starmer's devolution 'rollback'?
Scottish Labour are unable or unwilling to stand up to their London bosses and all signs are showing they are about to pay a heavy price

Another really solid piece of investigative journalism from @mandy_McAuley and the #Spotlightni team on safeguarding failures in the Presbyterian Church in Ireland. Heartening to see these broadcasting standards! 🙌

Scot Labour heard loud and clear: SNP propose action on two child cap = bad idea; Starmer tells them to vote for it = good idea. No self respect for themselves, never mind Scotland and its people.

I really enjoyed writing this piece for

Quite apart from moral issues, would Starmer or "advisers" explain how, if "Britain" is such a "world leader", 515K refugees are wrecking the economy for 65M? How's it "overrun" when it's 17th per population in Europe for refugees. Just chasing the "We hate foreigners" vote now.
