He got us to euro2020, ending 22 years in the wilderness, then got us to euro2024 and helped us reach our 1st World Cup in 28 years. Yes Results in the tournaments were mostly disappointing but will always appreciate him getting us there. Good luck Steve Clarke and thank you 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Scotland is the only nation in the World Cup that does not have its own broadcaster.
Even Curacao and Cape Verde do.

@AngusBMacNeil I used to wonder if 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿won the WC would we vote for independence; now I wonder if we were independent would we win the WC? Confidence, self respect etc. As well as having more £ for sport, health, innovation.

Many people are still unaware #TheTartanArmy donate to charity in all host nations. @TASA1999 - TA Sunshine Appeal, coordinate and arrange the fund raising, often missing out on credit which goes to the more commonly known accounts. Show them some love, give them a follow. ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

After the game ended, Japanese fans stayed in the stadium to collect paper and waste.

Respect, Japan. 🇯🇵

Robin laying it out plainly, so plainly that even Swinney should be able to understand it.

Somali referee Omar Artan, who was set to referee at the World Cup, was denied entry to the United States.

He received a diplomatic passport from the Somali embassy but was turned away upon his arrival.

Omar Artan was elected Best African Referee in 2025.

A farmer dies in April 2026.

His son inherits the farm. The farm has been in the family since 1847.

The farm consists of: 300 acres of grazing pasture, a farmhouse built in 1892, a barn, a milking parlour, two tractors of varying ages, a Land Rover that runs about 70% of the time, and a herd of 180 Hereford-cross cattle.

On paper, the farm is worth approximately £3.2 million. This is because land near him has been bought recently by a London hedge fund looking for carbon credits, which has dragged the comparable value of every field within forty miles upward to a number nobody local can justify.

In cash, the farm produces a profit of about £28,000 a year in a good year. In a bad year it loses money. The son also works as a fencing contractor three days a week to keep the operation viable.

The inheritance tax bill on a £3.2 million estate, even at the reduced 20% rate, comes to approximately £140,000 after the increased threshold is applied. The son does not have £140,000. The son has never had £140,000. The son has £4,200 in his current account and an overdraft.

The son sells 60 acres to a developer to pay the tax. The developer puts solar panels on the 60 acres. The remaining herd cannot be sustained on the reduced land. The herd is sold. The barn becomes a holiday let.

A different family eats Brazilian beef this Christmas without knowing why the price went up.

The Treasury collects £140,000.

The land never produces British food again.

It's a revolutionary idea I know, but perhaps we should only give folic acid supplements to people who actually need them, rather than medicating the entire nation without fully understanding the potential consequences or explaining them.

[Sara Salyers @SSalyers2]

Well, well, well! I take my hat off to @ScrdiScot . 👏 The distinction between the office of First Minister - a subsidiary, administrative post in the Westminster Executive in Scotland - and the wholly separate and historically continuous, constitutional office of Keeper of the Great Seal had escaped me entirely. The inherent contradiction of the two roles, such that they are entirely incompatible, perfectly illustrates the truth of this pretended union state. Loyalty to one requires the betrayal of the other. (This is a powerful addition to Scotland’s appeal to international law.)

Imagine, just for a fleeting moment, if Scotland was a place where the rules were the same for everyone. https://t.co/2qdZGoamar
