FAO of the cyclist who stopped to let a police car, on an emergency call, through the Leith St/Waterloo Pl junction this morning.

If you need a witness for the aggressive behaviour of the driver behind you, please get in touch.

Today, on Poland’s Independence Day, we honour our journey to freedom and the resilience of our nation. From London, where Poland’s government-in-exile kept the spirit of sovereignty alive, we celebrate unity, democracy, and our enduring national identity.

@AdyP Haven't watched the game yet, but 100% agree with your assessment. England consistently underperform despite the huge pool of players. Philosophical change required at grass roots?

[Fergus Kerr @ferghorn]

This is a shocking move by @EastAyrshire council. Short-sighted, small-minded and shameful. The direct and in-direct harms caused by this will become a false economy as other care costs rise. Made worse because the individuals at the heart of this know better. Shame on you.

Imagine 21 fully loaded 737-8 MAX going down, with no survivors—every day.

That's how many people will die in car crashes in the world in next 24 hrs.

Based on 1.3 million road deaths in 2023, 40,900 of them in US.

In East Ayrshire today, Instrumental Music Teachers protested proposed changes to music provision. These changes would effectively privatise music provision in East Ayrshire, undermining Scottish Government's manifesto commitments.

The EIS has called on the Scottish Government to intervene to protect school instrumental music tuition, in light of East Ayrshire Council’s plans to remove its Instrumental Music Service from Education and outsource it to an arm’s length trust.

@RebeccaTheJones @Aiannucci @SeanFoleyJ @DrStrangeloveHQ @DMTWestEnd I've not seen the musical but the film is brilliant. "You can't fight in here: this is the War Room!"

Ooh…

For anyone with a passing interest in what’s happening stateside

This is very interesting

And a big watch out…

[Fergus Kerr @ferghorn]

Happy to oblige.

A potential reason for declining birth rates…

Having to explain to your kid:

Liars win

Cheaters prosper

Rich buy power

Wealthy evade the law

Genocides overlooked

And we’re destroying the planet to keep a handful of old dudes mega rich

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

What a few days it’s been with @BBCSSO - our young people have loved being inspired by these amazing musicians.

On this day in 1971, Simone Langenhoff, aged 6, was killed while cycling to school; hit by a speeding driver.

Her death and the movement started by her father, Vic Langenhoff, a newspaper journalist, changed an entire country and saved thousands of Dutch lives. Here's how 🧵

Thank you so much to @BBCSSO and @LucyDrever for working with senior @MusicHolyrood pupils this week. It’s been a wonderful experience for all involved and was great to see such cooperation and teamwork as the composition for peace developed.

Grandson #2 (almost 28 months) was being read to by his Dad tonight. It was The Snail on the Whale. "Daddy, where's the whale? Where is he?"
Daddy said, "Wait, let's turn the page and see."
"There he is! He was hiding in the book, Daddy!"

When I first read this I thought it said "on-pitch singing" - that would be brilliant!

[Glasgow Warriors @GlasgowWarriors]

How did you all enjoy the on-pitch signing session last night? Who has got their new Autograph Book? ✋
