What I love, Shankland has waited for this move literally for years.
Waited on signing contracts, waited on holidays, whatever, it’s always been his dream
The dream that means we’ll get that extra 10% from one of our own that we’ve so badly needed
‘Mon home son 🥹👏🏻
🚨🏴 Rangers have agreed deal to sign Lawrence Shankland from Hearts, here we go!
Paperwork now signed and Shankland set to be announced as new Rangers player. 💙🤍
The ‘two team duopoly’ line going about is news to me.
As we like to be reminded by the other side - 1 win in 15 is hardly a sign of a duopoly.
This is on them. All them and no one else.
As half English and half Scottish I feel wholly British. If the UK breaks up I will feel I have lost my country. I could not comfortably feel only English. There are very large numbers of people living in England who feel like this. I think it is a problem.
Scotland swapped a Secretary of State and six ministers for a billion-pound parliament, a six-billion-pound quango state and 25 years of constitutional psychodrama. Hard to call that progress.
I think we all have much to thank @Malcolm_Offord for this week. I hope you have all enjoyed the "I'm poorer than you" competition among other Scottish politicians this week as much as I have. It's just a shame that they mostly want to extend it to country level.
The Greer-Offord face-off may prove to be a turning point in Scottish politics. It brought into the open the class envy and warfare, entitlement and miserable lack of aspiration that has lain under so much of Scottish politics for decades. It may, I hope, have lanced a boil on the body politic, exposing the SNP, Greens, Labour and Lib Dems as populist grifters, the enemies of ambition and economic growth.
Age 24–29 is the most stressful phase of life.
No one talks about it.
- Some friends are getting married
- Someone just bought their first home
- Someone is earning well and “settled”
- Someone is still struggling to even begin
At the same time:
- Your parents are getting older every year
- Responsibilities quietly keep increasing
- Comparison becomes unavoidable
- Nights are full of overthinking
- Dreams suddenly feel expensive
- Time feels like it's moving too fast
And the hardest part?
- You smile in public.
- You fight battles in silence.
- At 2 AM you question your own worth.
But remember:
- You're not lazy.
- You're not failing.
- You're just carrying too much alone.
If you're in this phase, be gentle with yourself.
You're still trying.
And that matters.
Anyone else feeling this lately ? ✋
To my 25 - 35 year olds, you've reached the age where people around you are starting to give up on themselves because they think it's too late. Don't let that energy rub off on you. It's not too late.
@LeadingReport As a man who married late in the game, I feel I got the last chopper out of Veitnam, so I understand the sentiment.
Hang in there, guys. Build yourself and perhaps your beacon will attract the right woman.
Remember: you’re just one first date away from it being your last. 🫡
