A Labour landslide is in sight – so let’s prepare for the biggest party of our lives
Unless of course you live in Scotland, Wales or NI. London columnists really need to get out more of feck right off. Labour come second in the worst result, after the Conservatives and LibDums.

Boeing plane returns to airport in Japan after crack found in cockpit window
So, self certification and putting accountants in charge of the company worked out well, did't it Boeing… The odd ‘Max' falling out of the sky, doors flying off mid flight, cracks in the windows….
Any flier had better check what type of aircraft they might be booked on!

@MadeyeTheCarnaptious @CloudyMrs a little strong. Worked/ing with a couple of very good, effective and caring charities. They seem to change as they become ‘professionalised’ though.

@simon_brooke @CloudyMrs @therightarticle Rural workers who depend on the land are always a minority. At the same time there are a substantial number who live and work around that land.
Farmers, many of whom supported Brexit are mightily displeased now - it’s not going to be Labour or the Conservatives who fix that. The former are only going for votes, the latter for landowners- who are a real minority even in Scotland.

French city of Montpellier makes public transport free for all residents
Good news for everyone who wants to see a reduction of car use in cities. We are slowly getting there here in Scotland with free bus travel for under 21s and over 60s but would it nor be wonderful to be able to simply abandon car use for all but the most exceptional circumstance?

I am a climber, runner, cyclist and swimmer. In between that I run a small (but perfectly formed) analytics company, splitting my time between Edinburgh, The Highlands and The Borders, campaign for Scottish independence, bake bread and occasionally dabble in bad art.
