Norway vs. France is the first match of the World Cup where one country's flag can be found inside the other

@ginadavidsonlbc @akmaciver Is it not about the complicated relationships between Campbells and Stewarts?

@AvidFan4u @geoallison @BareLeft Google would be your friend here.

Anyone interested in a private flight for 5 to Boston with us for Scotland next game against Morocco Friday? Looking for 3 more. DM me. Leaving Manchester 9am Friday, few beers, watch the game & head home following morning. Preferably someone with a private jet & tickets, otherwise we can't go.

@jo3hill I get the following when I open the link

The scenes in Belfast last night were shocking and completely unacceptable.

There is no justification for the violence and disorder that we saw threatening our communities, nor for those who encouraged it, online or elsewhere.

It is clear that people were targeted last night because of their background and I will not tolerate it. Those responsible will feel the full force of the law.

I’ve spoken to the Chief Constable of the Police Service of Northern Ireland to convey my thanks to them and the frontline emergency services for their bravery in keeping people safe. I’ve also spoken to the First Minister and Deputy First Minister to discuss the ongoing situation.

Appealing for calm must be the priority, and that is what I urge now. We must let the police get on with their work.

@ThreshedThought Sorry, forgot about Iron Duke being withdrawn

@ThreshedThought Is it not 6 and 7? And plus 2 aircraft carriers?

[Niall Thomas @NiallThomasCDF]

@ThreshedThought With respect, where are you getting 11 from?

Greater Manchester’s growth success is real, but didn't happened by accident. The country should be studying it closely.

Long-term strategy that is aggressively pro-growth, pro-development & pro-FDI works if given time and consistency

@PolitlcsUK Technically he is the Senedd's nominee to the role. He will only officially hold it after the King agrees and he is sworn in later this week.

The UK and the EU have today completed the final step for the UK’s association to Erasmus+ in 2027 🤝

Good news for students, apprentices, educators and young people across Europe.

🇬🇧 The @BritishCouncil has been appointed as the UK’s National Agency for Erasmus+

[Niall Thomas @NiallThomasCDF]

This worries me slightly. It oversimplifieds the conxept of legislation. A vote against a specific bill is not necessarily a vote against its underlying principle or argument.

[House Of The People @HoTPOfficial]

There is no way of knowing how often Parliament votes against what the public actually wants. Until now.

https://t.co/QpJCcn3FBH tracks every bill going through Parliament. You vote. We compare it to how your MP voted. The gap speaks for itself.

Think initial seasons are now not on Amazon, but can be found online.

Some cultural differences including the structure of the comedy industry in Japan. Obviously cultural references that you would need to google. Be warned - highly NSFW
