Produced and presented by Bob Wood in Renfrewshire. It is a themed selection of music, covering all genres imaginable with artists and tracks that are sometimes familiar, sometimes obscure, along with interesting information about each artist and track.

The sun shone this morning as Robbie Shepherd's brother and sister, Harry and Helen, watched the foundation stones being laid for a memorial cairn to Robbie Shepherd, the "Loon fae Dunecht". It was a pleasure to know him and these plans sound exciting pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/news/702577…

@DAaronovitch I thought that. But sadly he’s a politician so he’s judged much more aggressively. The whole thing is a disaster for so many people.

Looking at the Murrell expenditure I find myself so baffled that I wonder whether this isn't a psychological relative of compulsive shoplifting

Edward Hopper House
Edward Hopper House@hopperhouse·
Edward Hopper died on this day in 1967 at his Washington Square studio. Josephine later wrote that it happened quietly, in a single moment, with no pain and no sound. His final painting, Two Comedians (1965 @thebrucemuseum), was Hopper and Jo side by side, taking a final bow.

@caseywickland @JohnCornyn Casey, you’re being rude to the wrong person. I’m a Scottish person in Scotland where we call swamps “marshes”. Please direct your infantile name calling to the correct victim.

I used to keep a news diary as a kid. 40 years ago I wrote in it a word I'd never heard before: Chernobyl.

Agree. IMO removing Prime Ministers should be a pleasure reserved for voters. As Tories showed, regicide is pointless unless you can be 100% sure the successor would be a serious improvement. Election-winning PMs at least carry democratic legitimacy. Plotters less so.
Josh Glancy@joshglancy

Unless he is found to have deliberately lied, it would in my view be pretty odd for Starmer to resign over Mandelson, or indeed his government’s wider political struggles. For our own democratic wellbeing, the bar for an elected prime minister to resign should be very high.
