@theiaincameron That’s not Chamonix though

This is exactly what you don’t want to see as you’re about to hit the slopes. Heavy snow recently, but then a huge rise in temperatures (21.7°C today in Chamonix) resulted in multiple big slides.

@arghkid Bc I

It is mad that over 2000 years ago a baby was born and now I’m forced to stand in Manchester Arndale panic buying scented candles...

@KirkJTorrance @AlexSalmond @iScotNews A lot to remember there…

From late-night strategy sessions to historic victories, I witnessed @AlexSalmond’s unwavering belief in Scotland’s people. On what would have been his 70th birthday, I share my memories of a leader who truly empowered the #WeeFowk. From @iScotNews’ 100th articles.kirkjtorrance.com/alex-salmond-t…

@geoffaberdein Literally a narrow minded approach

So disappointing. A96 between Aberdeen & Inverness connects ports & company base crucial to the green industrialisation of the entire country. Dualling it would be vastly better for our environment & should be viewed as a strategic economic imperative.

@paulhutcheon If you forget everything that got you there in the first place, then yes, you are susceptible to a change agenda. In 2007 power had to be taken, in 2023 it’s being given away.

By the time of the next Holyrood election, the SNP will have been in power for 19 years. Any Government in this position would be vulnerable to a ‘change’ alternative.

@HTScotPol A lot of inaccurate post-rationalisation going on here. Speaking as the person who ‘dumped’ Ian (who I like), the facts are that Yes % took off after the changes, did become the wider movement, and without action would have run out of cash because of earlier misguided spending

An absolutely jaw-dropping read on how much the SNP meddled in the supposedly separate Yes Scotland campaign Ex-Yes Scotland director: SNP trashed us and that's why we lost the 2014 referendum heraldscotland.com/politics/23520…

@paulhutcheon @GlennBBC Worth a read

Who knew that so much of the 'infallible' lockdown science was just a PR exercise? Lots of us actually.

@Stevewalters74 @dariofranchitti I’m sure he can turn right…

Lesser known Scot who did quite well in Indy cars 😂 @dariofranchitti @Mrk_shaw reading the GRRC newsletter 👍🏻 can’t wait to see you guys race it at members meeting

@Stevewalters74 @dariofranchitti @goodwoodrevival Good to meet you both, and glad the ground appeared just before touchdown!

Lovely to meet and chat with @dariofranchitti & @Mrk_shaw at the targa florio last week 👍🏻 we shared a pretty hairy landing in Palermo Thursday too! Looking forward to watching you both at the members meeting @goodwoodrevival next year 🏎

@joannaccherry If they piled on bullish long bets, they lost a ton of money.

Correct

Lockdowns were the greatest social and economic policy mistake in modern times. They destroyed economies, mental health, national confidence, healthcare systems, kids welfare and education, supply chains and helped create the cost of living crisis. They must never happen again.

@Bass_Instincts @agcolehamilton Semantics though? Government could have a word if long term assets being sold cheap. You would hope so anyway!

The SNP/Green govt have sold the lion’s share of Scotland’s seabed to wind farm companies for a pittance. For some reason they wouldn’t let companies pay more than £100k per sq km. in England, the auctions fetched 4 x that. Their incompetence has thrown away a fortune. 👇🏻

@dariofranchitti Too modest!

This car made every driver who was lucky enough to get behind the wheel feel like a total hero!!

@DonaldCMacleod Having been on the Islay ferry many times, I’m sure they do give a damn…pity others don’t.

I don't suppose the community of Islay, give a damn who builds their ferries, just as long as they are built & delivered on time. A sad reflection of our times that our own yards, once regarded as the greatest shipbuilders in the world have sunk so low ☹️bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotla…

@ChrisMusson Sorry I thought this was the new gold standard…

@Mrk_shaw ha.. I would never advocate using percentages in this way without giving full context

Latest ONS Covid survey * Scotland rates rising for 6th week in a row. Estimated 5.70% infected last week * England (3.80%), Wales (3.22%), Northern Ireland (7.84%) - all increasing after falls Meanwhile, Scot Gov will announce on Tues if mask law/business rules will end on 21/3

@ChrisMusson Infections 50% higher than England

@ChrisMusson No one could look at this and say masks work.
