🚨 STURGEON & MURRELL TV DRAMA
There is serious content this week but we had to ask … Who do you think should play them?

Màiri McAllan has been education secretary for more than 100 days, and I've been asking for an interview that entire time.

As of today, she still hasn't agreed to sit down and talk to me.

Is she still not ready after 3 months?!

Imagine if a council/social work boss in England spoke to a UK cabinet minister in this way, after a horrifying paedophile scandal on their watch, where abuse was perpetuated due to their own failings. Would they still be in a job?

An article of mine in City AM this morning💥

Some of our most iconic brands & shops on the high street in London are in danger of disappearing forever😱

Labour & Mayor Khan are doing nothing to prevent this and if anything making it worse😡

Read my article if you have a moment👇
@TeamLondonUK @CLWCA @KCFConservative @CityHallTories

The decline of Harvey Nichols is a tale of London’s decline too https://t.co/4ASzDPyICS

Inside the new Glasgow bar opened by two friends after months of DIY graft 👇

[alexmassie @alexmassie]

It is genuinely extraordinary that Princes Street has been closed for a month and there appears to be *no urgency* whatsoever about reopening it.

[PFA @PFA]

It’s match day eight for the PFA squad of free agents. 📺

Watch live as they take on @QPR under-21s. 🤝 https://t.co/u2GyUhaRy7

[Henry Winter @henrywinter]

Good leadership from Mattias Grafstrom. FIFA secretary general reassuring staff who must be aghast/angry at events triggered by Infantino. Best solution to this storm is surely for FIFA Council to meet, force Infantino to resign and ask the respected Grafstrom to be caretaker.

[Steph Spyro @StephSpyro]

We haven’t heard anything from Prime Minister Andy Burnham on heatwaves or droughts gripping Britain this summer.

He offered support to Suffolk for wildfires last week but nothing about the broader issue of extreme heat or the national picture.

[Jordan Campbell @JordanC1107]

Scotland has a talent pipeline crisis.

Just 4% of Premiership minutes are given to U21 Scots & 66 of the best teenagers have been poached by English academies since Brexit finalised in 2021.

Big job for the SFA to knock heads together and fix this.

Infantino would have got away with it if not for @thetimes and the brilliant reporting of @martynziegler. A free press (and the subscribers who fund it) remains a crucial bulwark against the abuse of power

“Where will they stop?” Powerful front page from @lequipe

This is actually real:

[John Ferguson @johncferguson]

Scotland’s Josh Kerr going for gold in the final of the first Commonwealth Games mile in 60 years will be barnstoring, and really should be a major live BBC moment.

[Queen of the South @OfficialQosFC]

No, it’s not. It’s here.

Kasper with the big drum in front of 60,000 Celtic supporters doing the "Viking Row" as they chant "HØGH!"

Please make this happen 🙏🏻

😮‍💨🇮🇹 Como 1907 unveiled their new kit by sending the players into the streets to hand-deliver it to supporters.

A quite brilliant kit launch.

For those missing bbc tv coverage the excellent team at @bbc5live are still doing a brilliant job
