Why is Sky news giving hours of coverage to Reform? It’s being allowed to grandstand.

Farage is a snake oil salesman.Always will be. He’s harnessed money, influence and his fag ash act seems to play well. His only achievement has been the economic disaster of Brexit.

Whenever I read yet another story about the Glen Sannox and Glen Rosa it astonishes me that the fact that we now know the SNP rigged the procurement for political purposes and faked a launch for political purposes hasn't disqualified them from government for a generation. It's pure corruption.

What do you think folks? Should the police in Scotland have access to guns when citizens are confronted by people brandishing knives?

I think I have finally tumbled to what is going on in Labour.Devolution.

Great game Scotland. If only you had played like that in Rome.

Europe and the UK should come closer together – on security, on economy or on defending our democracies. Ten years on from Brexit, our futures are as bound as ever. So, it is in our common interest to be ambitious about our partnership.

Yay a gold medal.👏👏👏👏 Matt Weston

Improving the lives of the poorest good. Improving the NHS and driving economic growth good. Raising the minimum wage good. GB energy good. Yet Sarwar has blown his chance to be the next FM.Why? Asking for help to understand.

In Norway 🇳🇴 for the Oslo Energy Forum. At an uncertain time closer cooperation with our European allies and friends is the only way to safeguard our collective energy security and unlock shared prosperity.

Need to conjure up some Olympic magic for team GB curlers.

Yes I want to rejoin the EU. Those who promoted and backed Brexit are in denial of the economic impact on our country. Don’t believe the tobacco stained smile of Farage any more.

As the UK government make welcome announcement increasing commitment to defend the High North and Arctic, I have written a suggestion on how NATO Neighbourhoods could speed up decision making and improve deterrence.

Good. Next, push for a good deal to rejoin.

Prime Ministers are elected by the people. And they should be removed by the people - unless there has been criminal activity or serious misconduct. We can’t spiral into this constant calling for heads to roll. And so, I disagree with Sarwar. But Good luck for the Holyrood elex.

Acht. Just acht.

Go the NE Patriots!

Teaching our young to be safe on line,what should we do? 1 advise protection of your privacy and that of your family and friends. 2 never accept invitations to send images of yourself. Especially asking for intimate images 3 how to spot fakery and hatred 4 why you don’t need it. Other suggestions?

Good.

Scotland bombed at rugby, but the Scottish curlers at the Olympics deserve our congratulations. Super Bowl looms. Make me happy.

How come Townsend manages to turn a squad of gifted Scottish players into losers?

Delightfully out of tune and out of time national anthems for the six nations game in Rome. C’mon Scotland!

The LEZ was introduced to change behaviour not generate revenue. The enforcement regime has been in place for one year and is still bedding in. We will take all available steps to ensure fines are paid. theedinburghreporter.co.uk/2026/02/coun...

Did he really post a hideously racist image of a former President of the USA and his wife? Up to the GOP to stand up to him. And the Democrats and the rest of us.

I think the bots on X and on here are skewing the outcome of elections. In Scotland consider this: snp failure or a new more committed FM? Vote Scottish Labour. Sarwar for Scotland.

Farage doesn’t give a crap about you. And he has no policies to improve the lives of working people, nor improve our public services. The UK is better without snake oil salesmen. He plays on division. As does the SNP. Vote for Sarwar to be FM of Scotland. We can stop both .

I don’t think I’ve ever seen an unluckier PM.I truly think Keir is a decent man who cares about improving the lives of people in the UK: those on low incomes,those who wait too long for care, those who need our country to be safe and secure while working to build the economy and trade.Vote Labour.Ta

More integrity in his little finger than his detractors have displayed in entire careers.

Steve Rosenberg of the BBC is one of the few foreign journalists left in Russia. Watch Panorama on the Beeb to see how difficult his job has been over 2025.

Back home. Tuned into the Stephen Flynn show - sorry - Lunchtime Live.

Fantastic team effort on the doorstep with Daniel Johnson MSP this morning. No love for the SNP or their tired and out of touch Government in Buckstone that’s for sure!

Catherine O’Hara was a great actress. Watch her portrayal of Moira in Schitt’s Creek. Lol.

The temperature in our Norwegian ski resort reached a balmy- 16 today.

BREAKING Political pressure was applied to open Glasgow’s troubled Queen Elizabeth University Hospital before it was ready, according to official Scottish Government meeting notes www.heraldscotland.com/news... @andrewlearmonth.bsky.social

Today marks two years since Edinburgh became the first local authority in Scotland to enforce the ban pavement parking. Guide Dogs Scotland and Living Streets Edinburgh have praised the positive impacts the ban has had for pedestrians.

Norway is such a beautiful country. But if it improved its transport infrastructure, it could maximise its winter tourism. Fagernes airport was closed cutting off a quick journey to Beitostølen. Now 3 hour 30 travel by road to Oslo.

It was -20c in Norway. A day for staying in.

I’m blessed to be in Norway again.The snow is wonderful and makes for great skiing. Lots of television coverage here about the conduct of ICE agents in Minnesota and rightly so. We see you Trump .

Hi folks. My message to voters is this: why vote for a lot of rich former Tory mps who joined reform ? These people were rejected by people around the UK because they failed to make us stronger, improve the NHS and make our lives better. Don’t let Farage blind you with more lies.

The defection of Suella Braverman, who was sacked twice from Government in disgrace, spent £700m of taxpayers' money to send four volunteers to Rwanda on a deportation scheme that was then scrapped and has a public approval rating of minus 32 is currently being described as a "major coup" for Reform

One day those in ICE who shot people ,and their bosses, will be held to account. One day, the MAGA Republicans who defended them will also be held to account. Trump. Yes you, 100 per cent responsible.

475 UK families deserve an apology, president Trump. As does the Uk and other countries that came to your aid after 9/11

Has Trump or Vance thanked its NATO allies for the lives of the soldiers laid down when the USA triggered article 5?

Trump’s comments about British troops who did military service in Afghanistan are inaccurate, disrespectful and deeply hurtful to families that lost loved ones in the conflict. NATO did its bit in supporting the US when it asked for help.

No more failures, no more lies, no more SNP in power. Vote them out. Scotland can do better.

I know I’ve posted about Foreign Affairs.Now I want to to talk about the elex due in Scotland. I won’t vote for the SNP party that has failed Scotland. Vote for Scottish Labour. Remember we have so much more in common than divides us. ❤️

Is there any evidence that the American people want to trample over the sovereign rights of the people of Iceland?Yes readers he said it a few times. And so I wonder what voters in the USA will do in the mid terms. It’s up to them. We living in Europe will also remember.

I think something has dawned on Trump.He’s managed to tank his public support, he’s alienated republicans and Magaists. Or is he living in an alternative universe where he’s Flash Gordon?

Lots of theories about Trump’s aim to own Greenland.What do you believe? he thinks it’s a security threat.What proof has he produced about possible invasions by Russia or China? He also says the US has the greatest military in the world. So he could deal with it, right?why alienate allies? Anyone?
