Given the extent and ferocity of last night's fire it's absolutely astonishing that it appears that the Central Station building itself has been protected from major damage, and that no casualties are reported. Incredible work by the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, who remain active on the scene.

Close down Rangers. Close down Celtic. One great Glasgow team could be formed . And beside the pitch invasion, look at Grok and other social media platforms fuelling sectarian hatred. We need to regulate the shit out of them.

It might astonish you Donald but we in the UK don’t give a crap.

Welsh rugby supporters don’t give up on your team. You are up against an Ireland squad that’s been awash with money. But hold your heads high and hope the wheel turns. Yours a Scotland supporter.

Fantastic council by-election result.

Labour gain from Reform, with increased vote share for Labour.

This is an area where Reform have been in charge for 10 months and it's seeing votes switching from Reform to Labour.

Exactly as we said would happen when people experienced Reform!

It’s the job of journalists to test politicians, ask questions and follow news stories. My big issue is that journalists in the UK have flipped to the point their cynicism is making us think no one is fit to govern. Except Reform and the other populist parties like the SNP.

One day historians will investigate why Trump and his acolytes unleashed misery,death,and destruction.I want to state for the record I’m grateful Keir Starmer is our PM.We should be thankful we don’t have a vindictive, greedy, liar in charge of the UK. Keir would never say it but I will. Fβ€”k off .

The first of many uncosted, last second SNP election bribes that will vanish almost instantly if they win the election - same as free bikes, free laptops and all the rest of them.

The SNP lies constantly. Do not forget that in May.

Trump was never a pacifist. He has unleashed misery across the world. He is vendictive, he has demeaned our PM and I think he has demeaned the office of President.

Given the owner of X has reposted absolutely false allegations about a knife incident in Edinburgh I urge all Labour folk to get off that social media cesspit.

Top issues for Scottish voters in the run up to the next Holyrood election: economy and cost of living, the nhs and other public services, and immigration. So why vote for the snp,,the Scottish Greens or Alba. Vote how you want. But me? Scottish Labour.

Why don’t Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE have any defence systems to stop harm to their populations and their energy installations? Rich states all of them.

Labour policy is lifting 1/2million children out of poverty across the UK, 1780 of them in North Ayrshire. Labour delivers. The SNP never did that.

Think what we could do with Labour in Holyrood cooperating with Labour in Westminster.

The Tories left the country in tatters. Do you think repairing and rebuilding happens in a year or two? Labour - keep fighting.And attack the Greens Marxist ideology and Reforms racism.
