@DealyPlazaEcho I’ve always thought that the only way to get this changed is to do the map at the same angle but from the north downwards. Shetland would be absolutely ginormous and London, SE, Devon & Cornwall would all be one wee indistinguishable speck. Only way to show how ridiculous it is.

@dundeeunitedfc Tbh it would be quite refreshing if a player just called it as it is in an interview, as opposed to patronising the fans with pish like this. As long as we don’t implode, our season is done. This is nothing against Farrugia btw, he’s just doing what he’s been asked to do.

@BBCBreaking FFS. Starmer is so spineless. 😞

I’ve seen quite a lot of breathless comments about ‘spies’ … ‘trying to break in’ … yet you read the latest bbc report and it talks of 2 people going up to the gate and asking if they can come in. Probs not what I’d do if I was ‘spying’, tbh, but anyway.

@UKGovScotland @kirstyjmcneill @Ryanair Well, not exactly…. it’s made possible primarily by the Scottish Government buying Prestwick about 10 years ago when it faced closure, and turning it into a viable, profitable business (despite ongoing sniping from the Lab\Tories about it).

📢🛫NEWS UK Government Minister @kirstyjmcneill was at Prestwick as @Ryanair announced a £40m investment made possible by the UK Gov’s Ayrshire Growth Deal. This expansion is securing 1,200 highly skilled jobs by building Ryanair’s largest heavy maintenance hangar in Europe.

@xbasslichtie @Coolspot81 @L__Macfarlane If it wasn’t for ‘English immigrants’, I wouldn’t exist, and I wouldn’t have my kids… so I’m quite in favour tbh.

@IndyIsNormal @Coolspot81 @L__Macfarlane There's definitely an increase in immigrants, aiming to destroy our customs, take over our language, and drag our politics backwards into the stone age. Scotland needs to close the border to these English immigrants.

NEW: We often hear that Scotland’s more progressive income tax is “driving people out the country.” New HMRC data shows the opposite. Far more taxpayers are moving to Scotland than leaving it. Let’s look at the data 🧵

@ScottBurns75 Just realised that Haiti play in blue too so we might actually have to wear this in our first WC tournament match in 28 years. I don’t hate the strip but I’d much rather be in traditional blue and white. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🤞

@STVNews I hope they get zero votes… but they’re currently forecast to come (a distant) second. In which case, for Scotland’s future, there’s one silver lining: Having these arseholes as the official opposition, leading the Unionist case against indy, will crystallise a lot of minds.

@KieranPAndrews A lot of racists choosing to out themselves in the responses I see… 🤦‍♀️

Reform UK’s candidate for Galloway and West Dumfries has been urged to apologise after ITV Border uncovered online messages calling for the deportation of British Muslims and endorsing far-right activist Tommy Robinson. itv.com/news/border/20…

@dlLambo Surely FIFA didn’t actually say that..??

❌ 🇮🇱Israel will NOT be banned by FIFA FIFA will "take no action given that, the final legal status of the West Bank remains an unresolved and highly complex matter under public international law." This is a lie. It is Palestine. Ireland cannot support apartheid through sport.

@UKGovScotland @D_G_Alexander @forthports We’ll need all this and more when 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 is independent and direct ferries/trade with the EU goes through the roof (see post-Brexit Ireland as an example). Obvs the Scottish Govt has been the driving force, but good on the UK Govt for helping to fund it, getting it ready. Nice one!

Today marks one step closer to a direct ferry service from Fife 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 to Dunkirk 🇫🇷 Scottish Secretary @D_G_Alexander spent the morning with @forthports to discuss the new service that will boost tourism, open new trade routes & create jobs - with £3 million UK Government backing.

@Coolspot81 @L__Macfarlane Not something I’ve heard of, nor does it make any sense to me. Any further info/research on this? Thanks

@L__Macfarlane It’s called white flight. English yuppies running from diversity. Scotlands riddled with them at the moment

Mercifully I have no idea who this person is, but if you vote for Reform, you deserve to spend a day stuck in a small lift with her.

@alexmassie I know, right? Given that the UK pays about 25% more for its long-term debt than even Greece… and about 40% more than the likes of Portugal, I wonder how much cheaper our debt would be if we were a normal independent country?

Always very entertaining to see John Swinney boast about the verdict given to his government by the credit rating agencies. A verdict that, as he declines to point out, is *conditional on Scotland being a part of the United Kingdom*.

@FootballInT80s Just bog standard for us tbh. Played Barcelona 4 times… have won all 4 times… 🟠⚫️

On this day in 1987: An incredible night for Dundee Utd as they won 2-1 at Barcelona. The home team had Gary Lineker and Mark Hughes in their side but they failed to overturn their 0-1 deficit that they had going into this QF 2nd leg.

@IhabHassane How can anyone even try to refute what she says? Her point about it being dangerous for Israel too is the one that so many in Israel seem to miss. The actions of the government, IDF & settlers over the past 3 years have cost Israel almost all international support. Pariah state.

Israeli MK Meirav Cohen delivered a powerful speech in the Knesset on settler terrorism in the West Bank: “This is terror, and it is Jewish terror..... It’s not ‘just a few bad apples.’... The politicians excusing this violence are complicit.”

@STVNews Edinburgh surely has several regional accents… I always think Paul Hegarty has a very distinctively Edinburgh accent, but also eg Morningside, Miss Jean Brodie, the Edinburgh rugby fan/ private school accent and so on.

@dundeeunitedfc We’re having a bit of a wobble at the moment, but in general it’s a fantastic club and hopefully both Lachlan and United will benefit from this move. Looking forward to seeing him play for us.

🌏 Another exciting arrival from Down Under #DUFC are delighted to announce the signing of Newcastle Jets striker Lachlan Rose on a pre-contract ✍️ 🔜 The Australian will arrive at Tannadice in the summer on a two-year deal, with a club-held option of an additional 12 months
