@NewWaveAndPunk Had a second-hand car with a tape deck, but by then, I only had a couple of tapes I'd held on to. This was on in the car constantly, even though it was slightly wonky.

@euanmccolm @Jason_Allardyce Being passed a call from Sean Clerkin was the newsroom equivalent of being sent to the store room for a long stand.

“while the beatles were making girls swoon with their mop-top flips and youthful, cheeky grins, a different and profoundly darker performer was casting a spell on european audiences. the figure on stage wore conservative suits, howling like a turn-of-the-century delta bluesman.”

Reform UK’s warning Scotland faces a ‘Spain-style blackout risk’ by over-reliance on renewable energy.

Scotland leader Malcolm Offord’s been at Torness, committing to growing nuclear energy if he wins next week’s election.

Malcolm "six boats" Offord. A man of the people... #reform

[Peter A Smith @PeterAdamSmith]

In a wee cafe in Edinburgh this morning, a group of elderly ladies at a table beside me. The subject of last night’s debate came up and “six boats” is all they’re talking about.

STV’s ‘cross examination’ format is a real standout for TV debates that have sadly become a bit routine. Credit to the team behind it.

This government stands firmly with the Jewish community, and we will not stop in our fight to confront and defeat the poison of antisemitism.

We will always take the action necessary to protect the public and uphold our values.
