The 4 nations of British isles own a water bombing plane parked up in Cyprus.
Why wasn't it deployed for wildfires on these shores.
We all heard the apocalyptic reports for last fortnight.
Scratching my head looking for a valid reason it stayed in Cyprus.
Archie Goodburn is one of the best Scottish sport stories in ages.
25 and battling brain cancer, he just got 7th in the 50m breaststroke final in the Commonwealth Games. Genuinely unbelievable feat. What a guy.
I don't see anything from @andyburnham about the wildfires in Scotland. Nothing congratulating the fire service for their continous hard work. Nothing about people having to be moved out their homes, nothing about people going back. Just nothing! Scotland must be too far north.
BBC Scotland has given up pretending it wants to question Anas Sarwar after he jumped the sinking Scottish Labour ship like a rat. The peerage row was causing Labour too much trouble so has been closed down. It's why the Cairngorms wildfire was politicised and GP walk in clinics attacked. They desperately need some SNPBad.
Large part of ITV news devoted to out of control fires in Europe.
Italy and Portugal sending help to Spain. Nobody excoriating Spanish Gov.
Now criticising the SG despite the Cairngorm fire being handled competently by SFRS - no thanks to UKG.
You could not make this up.
France and Spain are struggling to contain wildfires. The French and Spanish Governments aren’t blamed. They’re doing their best to address them.
Only in Scotland is the Government blamed for fires. Unionist MSM stops just short of accusing the SG of actually starting them.
Great to see the impactful changes taking place in the community through the G20 Youth Project in Glasgow.
Justice Secretary Neil Gray visited to see the preventative work being delivered in the community in partnership with the Scottish Violence Reduction Unit.
Watch for more:
What is UK Government and UK MOD for?
In France an A400M military transport plane was fitted with a temporary tank to fight wildfires there.
UK has many A400Ms but no effort made to fit fire fighting tanks.
Asleep again, what a shambolic use of taxpayer funded resources.
Here's Monica Lennon prattling on that a pro Independence majority means it's a matter for the Scottish people. We have that Independence majority. So why has she changed her mind? To be 'Scottish' Labour leader. Unelectable, unprincipled and undemocratic. Same old.
We're investing an additional £90 million to reduce long waits for NHS treatment.
First Minister @JohnSwinney visited the @nhsfife National Treatment Centre to see how increased capacity and innovation are helping NHS Scotland treat more patients, faster.

The policy of taxing earnings between £100,000 and £125,000 at a much higher rate by withdrawing the personal allowance was introduced by Alasdair Darling. The Scottish Government doesn’t have the legislative power to change it.
Mark my words...
Scotland WILL be an independent nation once again....
I just hope and pray that our children and grandchildren are BRAVER that us !!
INDEPENDENCE 1ST

Did none of these presenters not think to ask how a pilot can be a flagship policy? A pilot is just that, a pilot. The SNP's flagship policy is independence. If you wanted a contender policy it would be the Scottish child payment.
Well done Scottish athletes, currently third in medal table.
And well done Alba Channel @MGALBA for stepping up to broadcast in Gaelic, and English too...
Well done Glasgow and Scotland for stepping in to organise at last minute.
Mealaibh ar naidheachd. 👏👏👏👏
