Not out of the woods yet

@zoekennedy Yes not far away, a bit closer to Aviemore

[weebirdie @mclaverock]

My mum was fretting about the Cairngorms fire on the phone today. From what I'd seen at the weekend I said don't worry unless Nethy Bridge gets evacuated, thinking that was pretty unlikely.

[weebirdie @mclaverock]

@RobDunsmore Hahaha that took me by surprise

[weebirdie @mclaverock]

It's the people who are wrong

[Tom Harris 🇬🇧 @MrTCHarris]

That Scotland remains a tiny, narrow, self-regarding and immature wee polity is amply reflected in the hysteria around a senior politician being appointed to the Lords.

[John MacDonald @1johnmacdonald]

"Of course, Anas still believes the House of Lords should be abolished..."

[weebirdie @mclaverock]

Was Sarwar on a promise when he called for Starmer to resign? Would explain what seemed like an insanely inept move at the time.

[weebirdie @mclaverock]

Either Burnham hasn't got a clue about Scotland or he doesn't care. It's hard to think of a more unpopular move than making Sarwar a lord.

A somewhat complacent position for someone dealing with not just one but three First Ministers committed to leaving the UK.

[robert @RobDunsmore]

Who’s the England Secretary?

[Craig Meighan @craigymeighan]

Douglas Alexander will remain Scottish Secretary under Andy Burnham.

@RobDunsmore Don't think I'm dedicated enough to faff about with bookmarks.
Feels like part of the dumbing down agenda, nothing but instant reaction to the latest thing in front of us.

[weebirdie @mclaverock]

Something about these bees and wasps fighting over a drop of honey reminds me of the football

[weebirdie @mclaverock]

@RobDunsmore There's a touch of the joanna cherrys about her, the self belief.

[weebirdie @mclaverock]

Some good points here

[Evan @EvanMcFarlane]

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Never normally do this, but I’ve written some thoughts about Scotland and our anxiety at major tournaments.

It may resonate with some of you, but perhaps not! It was nice to get it off my chest at least.

@RobDunsmore 🫡

[weebirdie @mclaverock]

@RobDunsmore Archive I mean

[weebirdie @mclaverock]

@RobDunsmore No it's no

[Adam Ramsay @AdamRamsay]

I knew Lara as a child in the Angus glens. Her cousin was one of my best friends growing up. Many Scots find our accents blend and shift depending on context.

[weebirdie @mclaverock]

I find this subject really interesting. Many scottish people (including me) adjust their accents, consciously and unconsciously, according to who they're speaking to and what they're saying.

[Hugo Rifkind @hugorifkind]

Involuntary code-switching is a thing, guys.
