Genuinely shocked and saddened to hear that Dolly Parton has died. An immensely talented woman and a true jewel of humanity. Her positivity, generosity and altruism touched millions and made the world a much better place. We'll miss you Dolly.

Ruth Ellis - last woman to be hanged in UK - gets conditional posthumous pardon
David Lammy says the conditional pardon replaces the death penalty with life imprisonment, to recognise a "profound injustice". It does not mean Ellis was innocent.

Misinformation is everywhere. Listening to Hannah Spencer you realise how cynical & targeted it is. Confirmation bias of all who oppose her leads to most believing fake news without even an attempt of double-checking the 'info' they read. All it takes is a screenshot of her shirt & a reverse search.

Could Scotland have Europe's lowest electricity bills?
The boss of Octopus Energy says regional pricing would make bills cheaper because of abundant renewables in Scotland.

Wow, a day with no gas burned in Scotland's to generate electricity - but all of Scotland's customers charged the higher gas-fired electricty price. Only independence will end this lunacy. Don't let this go on any longer.

On day one of a new SNP government, I will demand powers over energy to be transferred to the Scottish Parliament - so we can cut bills, protect jobs and unlock investment. If Westminster will not bring your bills down, they should get out of the way for a government that will.

Our nation is again at war, not because we had to but because the president recklessly chose to. Now we must recognize who pays the price: not the president and his wealthy allies, but service members and ordinary Americans.
