Frank, compelling interview from the recently deceased ex MI6 chief suggesting since Brexit, UK marginalised on world stage and reckless with our children's future if defence spending does not rise in Europe.

Worth noting that @NicolaSturgeon herself accepted that not enough progress had been made on 'The Promise", which she spent a lot of time on as First Minister and said as much when she made speeches as a back bencher.

Can't remember a more powerful first Holyrood speech. @duncdunlopwas ex-CEO of @whocaresscot on @NicolaSturgeon's failure (as he sees it) over 'The Promise' to children in care and the care-experienced. Passion, frustration, a call for action.

How Barcelona is waging war against tourism tat on La Rambla. Can we please have a version of this policy on Edinburgh’s Princes St and the Royal Mile? 🙏 Too much tat is undermining these historic streets - and the city. #Edinburgh ⁦@Edinburgh_CC⁩

@NutellaUSA Meanwhile with 20 % palm oil, Nutella is doing a great job damaging planet Earth!
Incredible is described as a chocolate spread.
Sugar – largest ingredient 55–60%
• Palm oil – second-largest ingredient 20%
• Hazelnuts – 13%
• Skimmed milk powder – 8.7%
• Cocoa – 7.4%

🤨Massive publicity for Nutella - a product with so much palm oil (20% approx) it is doing a great job of damaging planet Earth. #artemis #space #planets #Nasa #chocolate

[Massimo @Rainmaker1973]

Nutella just got the best free ad in possibly human history.

A jar of it floated across the camera on the Artemis II livestream, halfway to the Moon, completely unbothered.

Welcome to Scotland, where reporting on the plight of island communities makes you a ‘traitor to your country’. 🧐🤯
