@PolitlcsUK How pathetic of Nats to try the claim credit. They really are desperate at May 7 looms. Good try Mr Swinney ... but no cigar. Or dram.

EasyJet is offering Gatwick bound passengers stranded at Copenhagen - thanks to their delayed flight (now due to arrive too late for any public transport) - a £6 voucher (yes £6!) for food and drink. What a service, what a disgrace! @easyJet

Bill Sweeney of RFU says Chelsea might share Twickenham. News to Chelsea. He also wants pop stars at 15 extra non rugby 'events' and says Richmond Council are onside. News to council. He also says residents back his plan. News to residents. How many kites does he own?

When is the hero President Trump at last going to stand up to monster Putin and get the ceasefire that he promised was his priority. Another US policy disaster.

@johnmcternan Vance is a disgrace to his office and country. How many dead or wounded Brits would he need before he counted them as worthwhile allies.

Has the Voice of Sensible, Moderate America been struck dumb while this catalogue of madness plays out from Trump. Or have they, too, been cowed?

England cricket captain Jos Buttler ‘feels sad’ for Afghan women but his team playing Afghan men’s anyway. So ashamed of our cricket community @BBCr4today @englandcricket @josbuttler

The world as we knew it ten
Minutes ago - nato, the United Nations, international common sense …
Seems to be disintegrating thanks to a whim of a lunatic government.

Proms ticket fiasco cont: Tout Viagogo still selling as many as six seats (centre stalls) together for Barenboim concert on August 11 (official site sold out almost as soon as box office opened two Saturdays ago), prices inflated of course @bbcproms @BBCRadio4 #youandyours

[Alan Cochrane @Alan_Cochrane]

Half a century (covering elections) not out! https://t.co/zhrDJoWbwT

[jenny hjul @JennyHjul]

Now see sold out Proms (inc Barenboim) on sale from ticket touts, nearly double the price. No wonder our five-hour queuing proved fruitless this morning @bbcproms

@ScotNational At last the Nats win something. Whichever idiot at Historic Scotland agreed to this review should be sacked or, better still, ordered to read a history book.

@edinburghcastle Fantastic looking refurb of a great cafe. A truly great name, too. I'm booking a season ticket. And as for idiot objectors ... there were more Scots fighting against Charlie, than for him, at Culloden.

Humza Yousaf tells Today he has 'no doubt' that members will 'dig deep' in making donations to SNP . What about the 'Missing Six Hundred Thousand'? Where's that Humza?

Wow - wot a tough interview of Iain Blackford by Mr Webb on Today. He would have been better just asking about the weather on Skye. Pathetic.
