@AndyHughesCrime @joncraig How does Jon Craig not know who Binface is? He's on the ballot for goodness sake and is a stalwart of election nights. Expertly navigated? More like pompous and dismissive. Very poor for a Chief Political Correspondent, but I ditched Sky years ago for the same reason.

@trevorbaxendale I'd pay good money to see him fall off Jodrell Bank and then regenerate into Kemi

@PhilipCoutts1 Could have been much worse. If we hadn't been asleep for the first 70 seconds we might have got the point.

Ridiculous start to the game because Hanley makes a complete arse of playing offside. Didn't start playing until the last 10 minutes. No shots on target so ultimately got what we deserved.

@MartyJ777 @DJSnM The OG - in Glasgow - it's there to this day (well, not that one literally, but there's always a cone on it). The Council used to remove it, but it was replaced immeadiately after, so they gave up.

@MartyJ777 @DJSnM It's not new - there's been a traffic cone on the head of the Duke of Wellington statue in Glasgow since at least the 1980s... Queen Elizabeth II in Aberdeen wears one from time to time also. It's just a thing we do - every statue needs a traffic cone imho.

@DJSnM So is the traffic cone thing new or have I just managed too miss the scots enjoyment of traffic cones for years? Either way its been fun watching all the traffic cone's show up on everything.

Only half an hour ago Army Minister Al Carns was being tipped as a future PM, now he too has quit over the lack of defence spending. Replaced by Brownoser of the Year Dan Jarvis who embody’s the Groucho Marx line; I’ve got my principals and if you don’t like them I have others.

@MikeyFromUK @atk66713051 @LeftwaffenWatch Indeed - with chips = supper, "on it's own" (and the apostrophe is wrong) = single - could be far easier. And no burger, king rib, mock chop????? On the plus side, you can get booze! But no mushy peas!

I think Fish and Chips is now dying in the UK Went past the most popular chippy in my town this evening. It used to be absolutely rammed There was only about five people in there It’s just way too expensive now.

@StephenFlynnSNP So you're lambasting a new party, who have never had seats until last month, because they don't mention something YOUR party has not delivered on for 15 years??? Get a grip. The SNP have failed completely on infrastructure - roads, ferries - it's been a failure.

⚽️ The 2026 World Cup will feature new “smart” footballs Each Adidas ball contains a built-in 14-gram sensor that tracks speed, trajectory, spin, and player touches 500 times per second. The data is processed with the help of AI, allowing referees to make faster and more accurate decisions. The main thing is that now even the ball needs to be charged before the match 😂

Absolutely wrong. Opening up the North Sea may not reduce bills but it will stimulate the economy and provide growth through service companies. If nothing changes in the next 6 months, I’m moving my company to Houston as I can’t make a living or payroll for my staff out of Aberdeen in this climate. Otherwise you’re looking at 100k+ unemployed

@Jake_Ventham @Jackie04725626 That's my constituency, and most people in it, who aren't glued to Twitter, have zero idea who Lowe is or that Restore exist. Reform split the Tory vote, so we're stuck with Flynn, and unless the Reform voters move to Tory, the same will happen again.

@Jackie04725626 The Tories could win in Aberdeen South (by-election) against the SNP. Restore are conveniently not running even though many from the area have claimed they have tried to start up a branch and put a candidate in.

Let me get this right, I am meant to believe that Restore Britain isn’t a Tory ploy to split the Reform vote. But. • Restore’s advisory board had 3 current Tory Mp’s on it. • Restore aren’t running in constituencies that the Tories could win in but are running where Reform could win • @RupertLowe10 had a shared directorship in a business with Rishi Sunak’s Wife • @RupertLowe10 was appointed to a Tory committee seat • An ex tory MP that left because of fraud works for Restore • @RupertLowe10 admitted to an ‘agreement’ with the Tories • @RupertLowe10 said he wanted a restored Tory party to be in Government Sounds a bit fishy to me. Restore and @RupertLowe10 has some explaining to do.

Very sad news. Michael Keating has died aged 79. Loved him as Vila in Blake's 7, and so many other roles ranging from EastEnders to Yes Minister

@jayskin23 @BBCBreaking More likely the £40 ticket will still cost £40, and the retailer will pocket the 4.76 vat saving.

@LBC It's no surprise dealing with the rail industry in the UK where additional costs, delays and huge wages are the norm. I tried to sell a progress tracking system to HS2 for pylons - that was the last thing they wanted, otherwise everyone would know how far behind they were!!!

'They lost it? How can they lose something so enormous?' James O'Brien reacts as caller Gareth reveals that he's supplied the 'exact same order' to the same HS2 site three times... and it's £25k a pop.

There’s no advanced economy (a category to which Scotland still qualifies, just) that currently has a budget deficit anywhere near 12% GDP. That’s a crisis or wartime deficit — and even then is not sustainable. And OK, so not groats. What currency would you borrow in?
Gary Thomson@Gazthomson

@afneil The UK runs permanent deficits funded by borrowing, but when Scotland might do the same it suddenly becomes “groats”? Fascinating. Almost every independent country manages debt, issues bonds and adjusts spending over time. Scotland wouldn’t be inventing economics from scratch. 🤔
