    Keir Starmer wants to “smash the gangs," Rishi Sunak wanted to “stop the boats". But from what we witnessed in Dunkirk, the efforts of French police do not match the cunning of people smugglers, or the desperation of those willing to risk their lives.

    Does Scotland’s First Minister believe all trans women are women? Scottish Gov has just implemented an effective ban on trans prisoners who’ve committed sexual & violent crimes against women being moved to a women-only prison. @itvnews

    Money can't buy class, as Neymar demonstrates by refusing to shake hands with 18 yr old defender who had the job of marking him tonight.

    A brief observation from a journalist in Nicola Sturgeon’s Scotland: we had our share of robust interviews but it never ended with anything other than a handshake. She never hid from my questions or requests for interviews. We need all politicians to embrace that kind of scrutiny

    Rangers have just written to FM Nicola Sturgeon expressing concerns over comments from her government about the club’s “silence” over crowds assembling. They’ve outlined it was Rangers officials who initiated contact with ScotGov & SPFL back on 22 Feb.

    Bit by bit, some of the serious allegations Alex Salmond levelled that had him labelled a “conspiracy theorist” have, instead, been stood up by evidence. Nicola Sturgeon under enormous pressure now, not just with the No Confidence vote looming, but to defend her reputation.

    Hi @HibernianFC - you have a new fan on this bus. Arthur is 12 and he’s never been able to go to a football match before. @DniproKids have just told him you’ve invited all of these Ukrainian children to see your stadium. He’s now studying your squad & history on his phone.

    Oui, magnifique! 🎵 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Last night’s anthem from the Scotland fans has made an impression. Colleagues who were in the stadium tell me the sports journalists from around Europe took off their headsets for a moment just to listen and marvel. Those fans have been a real highlight
