Many moons ago (1992) I helped turn Aberdeen South from Labour to Conservative. Tomorrow voters have a tremendous opportunity to turn that jewel of a constituency blue again by voting for the excellent @DLumsden_MSP
Tomorrow, voters in Aberdeen South can stand up for oil and gas jobs and send Labour and the SNP a message they can’t ignore.
Vote @DLumsden_MSP 🗳️🔵

Robin sums it up perfectly. This sort of program should be a “keeper”, nobody else does this.
Very sad to learn that Radio 4's The World Tonight is to be killed off in the latest round of BBC cuts. It has a long and honourable history as one of the more thoughtful BBC news programmes and I am proud to have been associated with it for more than twenty years.

.@Qantas just announced that the world's new longest flight — Sydney to London (10,573 miles, 22 hours) — will officially launch in October 2027.
Flights go on sale in Feb. A bit delayed, but what's new in aircraft manufacturing?
I, for one, can't wait for this inaugural.

Very sorry to hear this.
Wishing @JeremyClarkson a full and speedy recovery. Prostate cancer affects far too many men and early diagnosis can make all the difference.

We owe those who serve the UK the kit to do the job and the loyalty to stand by them when it's done. We are failing on both.
I’ve spent my whole time in government making that case. Number 10 will not listen, so I am resigning as Minister for the Armed Forces.

“Number 10 will not listen.”
We’ve been saying that for two years- winter fuel, welfare cuts, family farm tax, Chagos, National Insurance, Unemployment Rights, Oil and Gas, Defence Investment Plan…
But now even Labour MPs are saying it out loud too.

So @Keir_Starmer are we all meant to go to bed tonight without a Secretary of State for Defence or a number 2 ? Doesn’t lend itself to a restful sleep !
