Often found on a golf course (the very nice one in the picture). Scottish & politically left of centre. Makes a decent espresso & sourdough pizza (gluten free options always available). 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏌️ Back in the 90s I did 🎺 🎶 for a living

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Hey Burnham - you can ‘Stop the Boats’ instantly and piss off Farage at the same time. What’s not to like? Give everyone who wants to cross the Channel a ferry ticket. When they arrive, they go through immigration like everyone else. All legal &controllable. £30/person

Burnham pledges to be 'relentless' in curbing small boat crossings

The PM says enforcement is being increased but there also need to be more safe routes into the UK.

I have an electric car and the screen stopped working so I can't control the AC or listen to the radio. The book says you aren't allowed to work on it but it's in warranty anyway. The dealership who had it for a day said it would cost me £1500 to fix. I changed the fuse myself.

#Newsnight must apologise for reading Farage tweets unchallenged. Will you apologise? But surely you will apologise? Just say sorry? When can we expect an apology? Are you sure you don’t want to take this opportunity to apologise? Last chance to just apologise for this?

There should be a law to ensure pasta cook times are in at least 14 point size. To hell with getting out the magnifier on my phone every single time, or worse: asking my kids to read it for me

Such a bad ruling in Scheffler’s favour. #theopen Similar to Spieth in 2018, if he’d hit his ball to that location under normal conditions, it’s lost. Instead he gets a free drop & recovers for birdie. There needs to be jeopardy otherwise they just hit everything hard.

Main SkySports feed is Faldo, McGinley & Dougherty talking shite, no doubt with some ads to follow. Meanwhile they have actual golf on the red button with no ad breaks. Why are they so shit at covering live golf on their main channel? #theopen

#theopen The R&A have created a real challenge for themselves in balancing the competing goals of reasonable fan behaviour and gouging every last penny out of them from the overpriced bars. Crowds get increasingly lairy through the day. Add in Fleetwood’s success & deChambeau drama: could get unruly

Burnham has appointed Hayden Munro as his political director. For anyone hoping Burnham would bring a fresh openness to debate on Scotland, Munro works for Arden Strategies, the lobbying firm set up by Jim Murphy. Murphy still has influence despite being overwhelmingly rejected by the electorate.

Nigel Farage is concerned about his security. Top tip for you: Stop being a rabble-rousing hate preacher. Being less of a cunt will make people less likely to hate you & reduce the likelihood of someone acting inappropriately. Please send me a share of the £5 million as this actually works.

The Orange Felon has now opted to protect all data for his plane on flightradar24. No flights found. But it’s hard to hide something that distinctive. It flew in to Prestwick yesterday. Presume Eric heading for Turnberry.

So #Farage gets himself another few weeks of guaranteed wall to wall coverage on all channels with an unnecessary by-election at public expense. And there’s nothing anyone can criticise as the soon-to-be Prime Minister just pulled a similar trick in Makerfield. He may be evil, but he is shrewd.

He would neither know nor care as he is so damaged, but by meddling in the World Cup to overturn Balogun’s Red Card, Trump has tainted any achievements USA make from here on in. Winning by cheating is for losers, as befits the Club Champion of multiple Trump golf clubs.

The most #scotland thing Steve Clarke could do now is to decide that we’re not going to make it and get everyone on the plane home, before the highly improbable sequence of events kicks in and we scrape 8th place forcing the aircraft to make a U-turn over the Atlantic.
