Theresa May’s husband, Philip, is to be knighted for ‘political services’. The only thing I’ve ever seen him do was stand beside his wife on the day she became PM and do the same on the day she stopped being PM.
On This Day in 1946: Irn Bru was born. The drink (first made in 1901) had previously been called Strachan's Brew then Iron Brew. New advertising legislation required the removal of the word 'brew' because it is not brewed. What's your favourite can from this selection of belters?
Pin-sharp visibility tonight from the south side of Glasgow. The spire of Glasgow University sits below the huge bulk of Britain’s 16th and 18th highest hills, Ben More and Stob Binnein, 40 miles distant. Dumgoyne, right, makes a shapely cameo.

Please RT and contact your MP if you can.

The toughest of days for Glasgow. My thoughts and best wishes are with those injured, and my deep gratitude goes to our emergency services, especially @policescotland. I’m proud to call this city home and I know the strength and humanity of its people will always see it through.
The reports from Glasgow City Centre are truly dreadful. My thoughts are with everyone involved. I am being updated as the situation becomes clearer. Please help the emergency services do their jobs by staying away from the area - and please don’t share unconfirmed information.
