The greatest commentary in the history of commentary

Nothing more ridiculous than a tired Unionist trying to sound robust on defence when they said this just two weeks ago.

Zidane just out for a stroll. Again. Some signing.

The Burnham Betrayal

This is the key chart. We target territorial emissions. Down 40% since 1990. Great. But what actually matters for the climate is our consumption emissions. They take account of carbon "embedded" in imports. Down by only 25%. Much less impressive, much less to shout about.

Always ready to remind Reform.

Thank you to the many business owners I heard from in Largs. Despite the enormous challenges faced in recent days you were incredibly generous with your time. And to Fairlie residents who showed me the damage on their doorstep. A stark reminder of the power of this storm.

The good news is that the vast majority of our train services are expected to run as normal on Monday. 🚆 Teams using specialist equipment will carry out essential safety checks on the remaining affected lines. Because of this, disruption may continue into Monday morning on a small number of routes: 🔹 Inverness to Kyle of Lochalsh 🔹 Inverness to Thurso/Wick 🔹 Glasgow Queen Street to Fort William/Oban 🔹 Ayr to Stranraer We're working closely with Network Rail Scotland to get these final lines reopened as quickly as possible. Safety remains our absolute priority, and trains will only resume when the tracks are fully cleared and checked. 👷‍♀️👷‍♂️ If you are travelling on Monday, please allow extra time and check your entire journey on the ScotRail app or website. 📱 Thank you again for your patience and understanding while everyone on the ground works hard to get Scotland's Railway fully open. 🙏

The real reason why Andy Burnham came to Scotland.

The Burnham Bounce

A great win in Aberdeen by an excellent SNP candidate. Bill would be delighted.

This is not true. I should’ve seen the BBC news that morning - but the FOI confirms I was not briefed. Jeez, if I’d known, I’d have given a damn sight better answer than I did at the time! An answer that wasn’t acceptable and nobody was more frustrated than myself about that.
