We can't lose this. 3-0

Pathetic ITV coverage. 28 years we've waited for this & STV/ITV give us Ian Wright telling us we beat New Zealand 4-0 We didn't, our opponents Haiti did while we beat Bolivia. 28 years & we get "experts" with no idea of even our most recent matches. We deserve better. PATHETIC!

Here’s an idea, cut MPs expenses (£242.6 million) , freeze their pay, stop catering/alcohol being subsidised (£7 million to £8 )million, House of Lords catering (£3 million) stop daily rate (£23 m total costs £143 mill) Because difficult choices have to be made to pay 4 defence

Everyone knows Dunkirk. 338,000 men rescued from the beaches, the "miracle" that saved Britain. Almost nobody knows what happened 8 days later, 100 miles down the coast. This story was buried for years, and once you hear it you will understand why. While Dunkirk was being evacuated, the 51st Highland Division was deliberately kept in France. Churchill wanted to prove to the French that Britain would not abandon them. So 10,000 Scotsmen kept fighting along the Somme while everyone else went home. They fought well. Too well to retreat in time. By June 10, Rommel's 7th Panzer Division, moving so fast the Germans called it the Ghost Division, had cut them off from every port. The Highlanders fell back to a tiny fishing town called Saint-Valery-en-Caux, with cliffs at their backs and the Royal Navy on the way. A second Dunkirk. That was the plan. Operation Cycle, ships waiting offshore. Then the fog rolled in. The ships could not reach the beaches in the dark and mist. And by morning, Rommel had artillery on the cliffs above the town, firing down on anything that floated. Men climbed down cliff faces on ropes made of rifle slings trying to reach boats. Some fell. The rescue never came. On June 12, 1940, Major General Victor Fortune surrendered the 51st Highland Division to Rommel. There is a famous photo of the two men standing together, Rommel grinning, Fortune staring into the distance like he is somewhere else. 10,000 men marched east into 5 years of captivity. In parts of the Highlands, nearly every family knew someone in the bag. They called it the lost division, and for decades many Scots quietly believed they had been sacrificed. Two details worth knowing. Fortune was offered better treatment as a general. He refused privileges and stayed with his men for the entire war, organizing care for the sick and keeping discipline in the camps. He was knighted from a hospital bed after liberation. And in September 1944, the rebuilt 51st Highland Division was given one specific assignment, at the request of its commander. They liberated Saint-Valery-en-Caux. The pipers played in the same square where their brothers had surrendered four years earlier. Dunkirk got the movie. These men got the long war. Worth remembering them today.

Lara couldn’t be arsed to acknowledge the invitation let alone turn up at the women’s hustings, hosted by @WWWheesht & @gracebrod1e, in Broughty Ferry on Thursday. Don’t we have enough charlatans & grifters allegedly representing us in our parliaments?🤨

They throw around your money like it’s their own. It’s a worthwhile cause, but John Swinney should withdraw this donation from the government, and instead donate a sum out of his OWN pocket. If he does so, I’ll happily match whatever he personally donates.

Marginalised identity? He’s a hugely privileged young man who has post grad degrees from two leading universities (Trinity College Dublin and St Andrews) and is now a parliamentarian in a country where he is not (yet) a permanent resident. How many working class women are hidden in the “quiet corners” with no voice?

First night in Boston. Waitress: “excuse me sir, you seem to have forgotten your tip” Me: “Here’s my tip - join a union & withdraw your labour until your employer agrees to pay a fair wage” The whole restaurant stood and applauded - even the manager #FIFAWorldCup #Scotland

25th May - Holyrood voted for a Referendum. 12mins later... 25th May - Downing Street refused a referendum. Has the SNP leadership taken any other steps since ? ...

Watching Holyrood debate on an inquiry. When my name was mentioned as a whistleblower on SNP finances & governance culture who was bullied for her trouble some MSPs jeered. That’s no surprise to me as some of the bullies and those who enabled them are now SNP MSPs. Charlatans.

Nicola is writing a new book!

Chrissy Boy was back on stage last night, here’s what he said: "After nearly a year, I am pleased to announce my return. My myeloma cancer is in full remission, thanks to the remarkable treatment from the @NHSuk. It may come back in the years ahead but I’m taking the...

Roll call of shame. The SNP MPs are showing that Swinney’s assurances that he accepts the Supreme Court ruling are simply more LIES SNP are a danger to women and girls
