@Glaikitgit ‘Thanks for letting me know what’s on your minds officers. It’s a no comment from me. I’ll away home now and my lawyer and me will put our heads together and send written answers at our convenience once we’ve decided what they are. Remember how fully I’m cooperating.’ Some Q&A.

On BBC Sturgeon admits no comment interview with police after arrest but says she sent them written answers later. What’s the point of police station interviews, then? Stonewall them and then write them an essay from your sofa. Seems to work.

@jackiebmsp I would like to have heard a question about the £107K Murrell ‘loaned’ the party in 2021. Nicola Sturgeon was asked about it when the transaction emerged the following year and brushed it away. Really? She didn’t say ‘What’s going on Pete?’

The question Nicola Sturgeon should be asking herself is ‘why does this keep happening to me?’ My Daily Mail feature on the ex-FM’s latest worst week ever.

Nicola Sturgeon claims she knew nothing, saw nothing and will apologise for nothing. Can this career politician, who prided herself on being a great judge of character, REALLY not admit she actually got so many things wrong?

@we_sell_boxes Thanks for giving me a laugh. Keep on keeping on.

Home of golf; university town … but St Andrews was first and foremost a community. Now its own people feel alienated …

[Scottish Daily Mail @MailOnlineScot]

Is St Andrews turning into the new DUBAI? It was once a quiet seaside town known as the home of golf - but now locals say a tidal wave of students and tourists is squeezing them out

JONATHAN BROCKLEBANK: Move on from The Troubles? Swinney sounded like a child who thinks he can swim because he is wearing water wings

@mrmckee I’ve never understood why tennis players don’t have a good old chinwag at changeovers. Or why marathon runners or Tour de France cyclists aren’t having a natter about nothing in particular while they strain every sinew for glory.

@EssexMan312 @afneil @Sheff36 Is this a parody account? Beyond delusional.

@joannaccherry It’s a humdinger. Congratulations.

Excellent column from @BrokerJonathan @DailyMail on the catastrophic effects that LEŽ ( Low Emission Zones ) has had on Scotland’s city centre economies since they were introduced ..creating desolate Low Economy Zones instead , something I sadly predicted 😳

It's the anger that gets you... blind, surging anger. The animals will flee and birdsong will ... https://t.co/W9tqnLfi2L via @MailOnline

Rural Scotland talking ... collectively their words are a howl of pain - one ignored by the SNP and dismissed as nimbyism by Labour.

This merits repeat viewings. Glorious moment for journalism provided by the Mail’s Tom Gordon. https://t.co/GWKjdosTpD

@David_Challen @NickyAACampbell @bbc5live HI David, I'm a journalist at the Scottish Daily Mail. I've sent you a message about the above on your website. If you haven't seen it, could you please drop me a quick line at [email protected] ? Key question to ask you about sentence.

Some thoughts on Rafael Nadal - the kid I may or may not have played at table tennis …

[Peter Hoffmann @retepnnamffoh]

Wonderful, must read article, of the only sportsman I’ve been interested in over the past few decades, capturing him and how Mrs AJN and I often felt watching him in the Grand Slams: and strange too that from the view in winter, to still have a hero. #rafaelnadal @BrokerJonathan
