The beautiful old town of Potsdam was destroyed during world war 2. Ugly boxes were built around the old square afterwards. Luckily, Potsdam came to its senses and replaced them with reconstructions of the originals in the last 10 years.

It would once have been a sackable offence for any journalist to embarrass his editor by getting a story as badly wrong as ‘John Paul Breslin’ has done here. But there again not sure the @DailyMailUK has a reputation to lose. And of course @ScotTories rent-a-gobs are shameless.

@TriciaMarwick This kind of journalistic error does real damage to politics more generally. And it is so wildly, embarrassingly wrong. A claim the FM will get £52K a year for the rest of his life when it is actually £2K a year from age of 65. Unbelievable.

Odious. “In a monologue beyond anything I’ve heard elsewhere, Galloway told me he thinks gay people aren’t “normal”. He insisted that they are not “normal” and children should not be taught to think they are.”

One of the curses of modern journalism is the surfeit of polemicists pontificating. The first thing you learn to do as a journalist is to pick up the phone and fact check before writing or broadcasting anything. We need more journalism and less opinion.

The sheer level of nastiness of this current group of Scottish Conservatives is what now defines them. Imagine the ugliness they would bring to our country if they even got within a whiff of power. Disgraceful.

This is an interesting breakdown. John Swinney popular amongst 16 to 55 year olds (the age demographic groups which supports independence). Kate Forbes popular amongst voters most likely to be socially conservative and hostile to the SNP and independence.

I've had a look at the numbers from today's @IpsosScotland polling on potential @thesnp leadership candidates. Firstly looking at how the 2 frontrunners compare across age groups. You can see that JS polls positively across the age bands, while KF has most popularity in 55+.

Strikingly ill informed discussion. Two unionist guests echoing one another with hosts joining in. Bizarre that @GMB so proud of this tedious pub chat they’ve clipped & posted it. Half the population supports independence. Majority support for the Union only amongst over 65s.
