It is astonishing that Peter Murrell is entitled to legal aid.

Hard-pressed Scots who are being hammered by the highest taxes in the UK are now expected to pick up the legal tab for Nicola Sturgeon’s disgraced husband.

At the same time, we have heard examples of survivors of domestic abuse being denied legal aid, but somehow Murrell, who Sturgeon claimed was a high-earning individual, is entitled to legal aid.

What a disgrace 😤

On this day back in 1978, St Mirren sack manager Alex Ferguson, with an industrial tribunal ruling he had: "neither by experience nor talent, any managerial ability at all."

All that did was ignite a fire in his belly!

NEW: Sky News came to Ireland in an attempt to question Nicola Sturgeon about claims she shut down scrutiny of SNP finances at the same time her ex-husband Peter Murrell stole £400k from party.

She entered the kitchen to avoid questions with security pushing me away.

Made it my life’s mission to become the Taliban’s worst nightmare:

A highly educated Afghan woman.

First, Columbia University at the top of my class, and now Oxford University.

Give Afghan girls one chance and see what they can achieve.

Memorial Weekend
2026 🇺🇸 🫡

This is such a poignant and respectful remembrance for all 9,387 US soldiers who paid the ultimate price for our freedom on D-Day in Normandy.

French caretakers’ tradition of taking sand from Omaha Beach and scrubbing it into the letters of the tombstones makes the names more visible and gives them a golden appearance.

In almost any other household, if a man suddenly parked a brand new £125,000 motorhome in the driveway - and acquired other new vehicles - his wife would ask where on earth he got the money from.

[Foysol Choudhury MBE @FoysolChoudhury]

So what is the point of the Scottish FA’s key match incident panel admitting Celtic should NOT have received the match-winning penalty against Motherwell after the damage is already done?

The result stands. The points stand. The trophy celebrations stand. Fans of other clubs are simply told afterwards: “Yes, the officials got it wrong.”

If major decisions that influence a title race are later admitted to be incorrect, then supporters of clubs like Hearts have every right to ask serious questions about sporting integrity and who the real champions should have been.

How many times are Scottish football fans expected to accept “mistakes” with no accountability, no transparency, and no consequences?

This is exactly why supporters are losing faith in officiating and VAR in Scotland. Scottish football deserves better.

Disgusting behaviour

Celtic fans attacking hearts players. Tainted titles are the new norm in this corrupt Scottish League.

They have done pitch invasions 4 or 5 times this season with NO repercussions.

Animal behaviour.

Blatant cheating and the whole world just saw it. It's nearly funny now

[Glentoran FC @Glentoran]

We were delighted to welcome the son of one of East Belfast’s most iconic figures to the BetMcLean Oval yesterday.

Calum Best, son of George Best, visited the famous stadium where his father once stood on the terraces, filming a story for the BBC.

We were proud to have had Calum at the Oval and to have played a small part in telling the story of such a magnificent footballer in George 🙏

During the Iranian Revolution, leftist students, communists, and Muslims were all united in overthrowing the Shah.

The leftists celebrated when Khomeini returned in 1979. They thought they defeated capitalism and imperialism. It didn’t last long.

Around 30,000 leftists who helped the Islamic regime consolidate power were soon executed. That’s where the term “useful idiot” originated.

They served their purpose and were no longer needed. Muslims had always despised their progressive ideals and couldn’t wait to get rid of them.

One of the women celebrating in the picture was killed, the other fled the country for her life.

It’s bizarre that almost 50 years later, Western leftists are making the exact same mistake. If they get what they want, they will have the same ending.

Eyal Waldman hired 20 engineers in Gaza, donated $360K to a Gaza hospital, and spent years building partnerships toward between Israeli and Palestinians.

Pro-Palestinian protesters screamed “murderer” at him in Venice this week. His daughter was killed at Nova on October 7.

@OfficialNIFL @Sportdirectprem Does NIFL have a special unit that sits down and spends all day coming up with stupid stuff? Because if so they've surpassed themselves this time. Read the room FFS.

Went to The Oval last night to see Glentoran v Larne as an interested neutral. For all it's critics - and yes the facilities need a.massive upgrade - there's no doubt that ground is a gem and will be a sad loss to Northern Ireland football when it is bulldozed and "modernised."

It’s 37 years ago tomorrow, since the tragic events at Hillsborough.
If there is one thing you listen to today it’s this.
BBC Radio 2 commentator Peter Jones and his final report on that day.
Simple, yet very powerful words.
NO ONE should go to a football match and not come home.
RIP The 97 Liverpool fans.

The Islamic Republic of Iran has just been nominated to the UN Committee for Programme and Coordination to shape policy on women's rights, human rights, disarmament and terrorism prevention.
The British government, of course, did not object to Iran’s appointment — even though the Iranian regime has been massacring thousands and thousands of protestors this year.
At least it shows satire is not dead.
NEXT UP> Satan nominated to investigate sin.
