@LesleyRiddoch Linking corruption at the heart of the governing party isnt what I would normally associate with an independence drive, but ten out of ten for effort. 😅

@1edmountain I hope you got a Gaelforce line to match, they are really first class. 🎣

[Chris Blake @ChrisBlakeLBW]

Did the @bbctms commentator really suggest that @cricketireland could play in orange strips? 🙈

Stunning day to be above the clouds upon Beinn Mhanach.

@JohnSwinney Wasnt it the SNP who put the kybosh on the Rosebank field? Make your mind up John.

[Chris Blake @ChrisBlakeLBW]

Feel this Scotland womens team is flying under the radar - I make that 7 wins on the bounce! Incredible form.

We defeat Namibia by seven wickets, chasing down 75 inside nine overs 💥

[Chris Blake @ChrisBlakeLBW]

@LesleyRiddoch Half of Scotland? So you can only support the Scotland team if you support independence? What a completely weird take.

[Chris Blake @ChrisBlakeLBW]

@GillianMacMSP @scotgov Totally confused by your tweet, surely the Greens would want the closure of a heavily polluting plant?

[Chris Blake @ChrisBlakeLBW]

Genuinely dont know what she wants.. the plant to stay open or to shut? You cant have a hydrocarbon plant without hydrocarbons...🤔

[Lorna Slater @lornaslater]

We urgently need a statement from the Scottish Government on the closure of the Fife Ethylene Plant at Mossmorran.

Exxonmobil are destroying the planet, the surrounding community in Fife and now the livelihoods of hundreds of workers by pulling the plug on production.

@_JamieMcIntyre @thebankscot @scotgov Despite the grant funding we simply aren’t planting enough comm. forests. 80% of low rise housing in Scotland is timber frame, yet we import all the timber from East Europe! If the @scotgov spent the money on planting instead of peat everything would be 👌

[Chris Blake @ChrisBlakeLBW]

@_JamieMcIntyre @thebankscot @scotgov Public and community forestry doesn’t pay, it’s a money pit. No one has ever turned a profit from planting birch, oak and rowan. If this country wants to have the £1bil timber industry in 30 years we need to plant commercial forests now.

Everyone losing their shit because 300 asylum seekers are being housed in Inverness and I’m thinking… wonder how many play cricket? 🤔😂

@AlexHartley93 It’s the equivalent of scheduling an outdoor pingpong tournament for February in Fort William.

[Chris Blake @ChrisBlakeLBW]

Amazing news, not just for Mollie, but for proof that a pathway exists for young female cricketers in Highlands. 🙌🏏🥳

@theJeremyVine last item discussing whether people called “Al” get confused with artificial intelligence is peak @AccidentalP 😂

[Chris Blake @ChrisBlakeLBW]

@ThatsSoVillage We dropped the oppositions opening bat on 70, 120 and 175. He went on to score 215*. We lost 282-0 vs 235ao.

[Chris Blake @ChrisBlakeLBW]

A disappointing result but was great to bat against a rising star of Scottish women’s cricket. I tried to see off Mollie but she got me with her last ball. This girl will go far, I’m sure of it! 🏏 #Cricket #nosca #WomensCricket
