The SNP announced these NHS treatment centres in 2015. It's now 2026 and over half still haven't been delivered.

John Swinney doesn't care. He's getting drunk with the Tartan Army in Boston.

Nothing prepares you for the decline in health of your parents.

This time last year I was visiting mine regularly, more often than before as we'd lost my sister the year before.

But on the surface, everything was OK (for a couple in their late 80s.)

December last year my Dad ended up in hospital and we realised just how much he'd been covering up for my Mum - she couldn't remember enough to be able to look after herself for a day.

I had to scramble to get carers and all the agencies involved - for 3 weeks I was on the phone just about all day.

Since Christmas they've both been in & out of hospital & we now know Mum may only have months - she has vascular dementia, kidney disease and heart failure.

Dad has dementia and heart issues.

Every time the phone rings I jump.

Today I had a call from the pulmonary embolism consultant who had just seen Mum (they found a clot last time Mum was in hospital).

My brother and I both have the LPA for health but they always ring me.

The consultant wanted to run the final decision about her medication past me.

She's very frail now and at risk of falls. If she stays on the medication, she risks massive internal bleeding if she falls.

If she stops the medication, she's at risk of another clot.

And the consultant wanted my decision.

Mum and Dad don't know the consultants and GP always call me.

Usually it's OK.

But today it felt like I was signing a death warrant.

If your parents are doing OK and you get on with them - make the most of them.

It can change so quickly.

🇯🇵 A Cruel End for Japan’s Warrior Captain

Some footballers leave their mark with tricks, headlines and highlight reels. Wataru Endo left his with honesty, courage and an unfashionable devotion to the team.

The moment he limped out of Liverpool's season at Sunderland, the fear was immediate. You watched a player who would willingly put himself in harm's way for the cause, and you wondered whether the price had finally become too high. Sadly, it has.

There's something particularly cruel about a captain being denied his final World Cup. Endo had earned that stage. He'd earned the armband. He'd earned the chance to lead his country one last time before passing the torch.

The reaction from supporters tells its own story. Not of a global superstar, but of a footballer held in genuine affection wherever he has played. People speak of a warrior, a professional, a man of character. Those aren't empty compliments. They're the tributes reserved for players who make others better, who carry responsibility without complaint and who never ask for applause.

Football increasingly celebrates the spectacular. Endo belongs to an older tradition. He wins duels, covers ground, protects teammates and accepts the hard work that allows others to shine. Every successful side needs players of his kind, even if they rarely occupy the headlines or match reports.

Japan will miss him. The game will miss him too.

A fine footballer, a respected captain and, by all accounts, a thoroughly decent man. His is a career worth saluting.

発表にあった通りW杯メンバーから離脱する事になりました。
怪我をしてからここまで、自分にできることは全てやってきたので何も後悔はありません。

もちろん今回のW杯に出場できない悔しさはありますが、それよりもカタールW杯後からキャプテンとしてこのチームを引っ張り「W杯優勝」という目標を当たり前に口にできる集団へと一緒に成長してこれた事を誇りに思います。

今のチームは本当に素晴らしいチームです。
どんな逆境も乗り越え、まだ見たことのない景色を見せてくれると思います。

自分は今回の活動をもって代表を引退する事にします。
なので、これからは1人のファンとして日本代表を応援していきます。
将来、日本代表がW杯で優勝する瞬間は必ずきます。
それを信じてみんなで応援しましょう。

そしてその瞬間が今大会になるように、日本の力を１つにしてみんなで北中米W杯挑んでいきましょう！！

みんな、やるだけ🔥

When Ian Rush arrived at Liverpool, he was homesick and struggling.

Bob Paisley told him:

“Give it six months son. If you still don’t like it, we’ll move your parents to Liverpool.”

Rush stayed.

The rest is history. 😆🔴

[Moustache @Moustache_bq]

This is an inspiring story, but it actually highlights a major failure in the sports industry. A world-class athlete ranked 114th should not be arriving at a major tournament unable to afford a hotel room. Why are tennis associations pocketing billions while the players who provide the entertainment are drowning in debt?

Elvis Presley performing “Unchained Melody” on June 26, 1977 — his final concert.

You can see the King pouring every last ounce of his soul into it, exhausted but still giving everything he had. Impossible to watch without tears.

Thank you, Elvis. You will live forever. 🙏

The world spent 30 years calling Japan 'behind.'

Still uses cash.
Still uses fax.
Still has tiny shops run by one old couple.

Then the world got 'ahead' —
and ended up lonely, rushed,
and scrolling at 2 AM.

Now the same people are flying to Japan
just to feel something they can't name.

A meal made by hand.
A street that's quiet.
A stranger who's kind for no reason.

Turns out Japan wasn't behind.

It just refused to trade away
the things that actually make a life.
