Anyone who genuinely thinks the football authorities in Scotland favour @CelticFC hasn’t been paying attention for the past 150 years - get a grip everyone

⌛️The Doomsday clock is 85 seconds to midnight. Nuclear risks are rising due to arms control faltering, nuclear arms expansion, and dangerous rhetoric.

But as @MelissaParke01 puts it, the Clock is a warning, and humanity can still change course.

Where is Fergus McCann when you need him? Until Desmond is history there won’t be much change @CelticFC - he doesn’t have a controlling stake yet the board seems in thrall to him while he shows little genuine love for the club

[Alistair Burnett @afburnett]

@AgentScotland Depressing thing is I expect neither to happen - talk about self-inflicted damage - the board’s boast used to be the best run club in Scotland - a bad joke

[Alistair Burnett @afburnett]

@AgentScotland Two things need to happen or this season will end up worse than the Covid one
1. Nancy needs to be put out of his misery and MON reappointed for the rest of the season
2. The board need to be refreshed with ambitious, competent people and a new CEO appointed

[Alistair Burnett @afburnett]

Most of us would have lost our jobs for this level of incompetence- you have 8 months - if not longer if stories are correct Kyogo told Celtic he wanted to leave well before - and fail to replace him and then sell your main remaining striker without having a replacement signed!

[Inside The SPFL @AgentScotland]

Even by Celtic's ludicrous incompetent standards, this is an all timer.

#India & #Pakistan exchange fire. #Russia escalates in #Ukraine. #Israel destroying Gaza. Four nuclear powers actively involved in armed conflict.

Nuclear weapons kill indiscriminately, civilians are the primary victims. To comply with the Geneva Conventions, nuclear armed states must disarm. The very existence of nuclear weapons is a threat to civilians around the world at every moment. @nuclearban #tpnw

On Hiroshima and Nagasaki anniversaries new report exposes the disproportionate harm nuclear weapons do to children and calls for the elimination of nuclear weapons https://t.co/xnEaN1Gc3x

79 years ago today the first atomic bomb was dropped over Hiroshima, instantly killing tens of thousands of the city's inhabitants.

Setsuko Thurlow, then 13, was one of the city's survivors. In 2017 she jointly accepted the #NobelPeacePrize in Oslo on behalf of @nuclearban.

[Tim Wright @TimMilesWright]

On this day 79 years ago, the US dropped a nuclear bomb on Hiroshima, killing more than 140,000 people, including some 23,000 children. One of the worst atrocities ever committed. https://t.co/aWGFYAKYyA

[ICAN @nuclearban]

🧵1/ In a nuclear attack, children are more likely than adults to die or suffer severe injuries due to their greater vulnerability to heat, blast, and radiation. Yet another reason we need to eliminate nuclear weapons now. Read more here: https://t.co/P5tv4SAKOr

Remembering Hiroshima 79 years ago today. Never again. @nuclearban

🧵1/For the second year in a row, the #NPTPrepCom meeting has concluded without an adopted summary agreed upon by all state parties. This is dealing a further blow to the #NPT Process, as the previous two #NPTRevCon failed to agree on any progress
