The war in the Persian Gulf and the jet fuel shortage it created exposed the closure of Grangemouth oil refinery last year as a dangerous act of folly. I’ve written for the Times explaining why refining capacity is a crucial national infrastructure central to our energy security.

Fantastic result for @leitrimgaa_official - so pleased for Stephen and the lads - 36 new to the panel in two years but Leitrim grit wins out. Jeez but that was a tense listen on @oceanfmireland Thanks lads! 💚💛 #upleitrim #liatroimabú

In France, legislation came into effect recently for all car parks that have over 80 spaces to be covered with solar panels. Estimated to add around 11GW of renewable energy capacity to the national grid. Why not do likewise in Scotland? Braehead, Silverburn, Glasgow Fort etc.

Imagine a player with pinpoint accuracy in passing, could tackle like a defender, score goals freely, had speed and guile, played for @thehibees.bsky.social , Arsenal, Newcastle, Aston Villa, and was unchanged by it all. That was Alex Cropley, legend and hero. Go well, Sodjer, thank you 💚 🙏 RIP

Memories treasured, memories created. What they don’t tell you about getting old is the numbers. When I casually mention to folk who may, or may not, be interested, that I saw my first Southport FC game sixty three years ago, I am seei…

Sunshine on Leith 🌝

What's the opposite of nominative determinism??? 😆😆😆

Big shout out to Rocksalt cafe in Constitution St, Leith. Great food, lovely staff and fine building - previously Nimmo's the printers and stationers who supplied so many of the shipping lines out of the Port of Leith. Great discovery! 😋

Eid Mubarak to all who are celebrating! 🙏

Nicely written - and a good plug for @glasgowbell.bsky.social which has been great on this and goes from strength to strength.

Beautiful in Perth today 🌝
Car serviced, 8K walked, museum visit, sunshine by the river!

Awfully sad at death of Tom Georgeson. Loved his work - complete credibility on all his roles and seemed effortless. Superb in #BetweentheLines wonderful as Dixie in "Boys from the Blackstuff": vulnerability, anger, perseverance, black humour, resignation. Tour de force. Thanks Tom, just the best.🙌🙏
