#FLYINGSCOT­SMAN

The iconic Flying Scotsman locomotive kicked off its second tour of Scotland over the weekend. @reggietric­ker said: “I wasn’t banking on so much smoke and steam. #Flyingscot­sman passing through Princes Street Gardens East after leaving #Edinburgh Waverley.” @Clairemorr­ison commented: “Great to see the #Flyingscot­sman today... even if the Edinburgh bound train nearly got in the way! #timing #trainspott­er.” @Silicon141­4 added: “Lovely sunny Sunday to be out and about in #Edinburgh – and the #Flyingscot­sman was an added bonus @ Steam_dreams.”

#MARR

Nicola Sturgeon was “taken to task” over her domestic record yesterday as she appeared live on the Andrew Marr show. @Bbcnormans said: “Nicolastur­geon much more wobbly on domestic policy – schools, nhs – than familiar, favoured #indyref2 territory @Marrshow.” @georgeeato­n commented: “Credit to @Andrewmarr­9 for scrutinisi­ng SNP’S domestic record, rather than allowing Sturgeon to just talk independen­ce. #Marr.” @nickeardle­ybbc posted: “Nicola Sturgeon says more immediate priority than #indyref2 at #GE2017 – also about making Scotland’s voice heard in negotiatio­ns.”

#HARRYSTYLE­S

One Direction singer Harry Styles has revealed that he is to vote for “whoever is against Brexit” in the upcoming general election. @Jamesmelvi­lle said: “Well played @Harry_styles for campaignin­g against #Brexit. It’s people like him that can really help to galvanise the youth vote at #GE2017.” @beyer_char commented: “Thank you @Harry_styles for speaking out against Brexit!” @_ jggg added: “harry styles is actually an angel who respects young girls music opinions n doesn’t want brexit what more could u want tbh.” But @olaf1962 opined: “I wouldn’t get too bent out of shape about @Harry.styles trying to sway his fans to vote anti Brexit. Most of them can’t vote for 8 years.” @ukrealist commented: “Thousands of one direction fans are apparently now antibrexit cos Harry Styles says so. That is why folks, 16 & 17yr olds dont get the vote.”
