#SCOTLANDSQUAD
Interim Scotland boss Malky Mackay named his 24-man squad for the friendly against the Netherlands at Pittodrie next week. @aberdeenawa suggested: “Mclean, Christie and Shinnie in the Scotland squad apparently. It’s almost like they need Aberdonians to go to the game.” @goosey10 joked: “Still no Niemi. Heartbroken yet again.” @mendyhfc praised the call-up of Paul Hanlon: “Got laughed at by a few people when I suggested Hanlon would be in the Scotland squad. 10 years at the club and now at his peak” @jdempster11 tweeted: “Have to admit, surprised Ryan Jack is in the Scotland squad, haven’t seen the best of him yet. Hope this will give him some more confidence”
#ABUSECOMPLAINTS
Allegations of sexual assault and inappropriate behaviour against MPS have prompted Theresa May to pen an open letter to the Speaker of the House acknowledging the weakness of the current system and promising tougher rules. @Sarahchampionmp said: “1:3 women world wide experience sexual abuse. All abuse is unacceptable, shame you’re only taking action now when it’s at parliament’s door!” @steve_hawkes suggested: “If ever Theresa May needed the perfect excuse to reshuffle her pack and bring in new blood – this is it” @Ldnvictimscomm noted: “Letter doesn’t explain how PM will ‘stamp it out’ nor what action will be taken now against those who commit sexual harassment”
#LOUISTHEROUX
The broadcaster produced a one-off special for the BBC, focussing on women suffering from anorexia. @elliot_gonzalez posted: “#Talkingtoanorexia made me realise how little anorexia is spoken about and how little I knew about the condition. Well played Louis Theroux.” @Annakennedy1 said: “Louis could not be more considerate and honest about aneroxia, so sensitive, I certainly was educated” @Howarddonald said: “Watching @louistheroux doc about eating disorders and anorexia. Happy the NHS have great support for this mental health problem” @m_maclennan enthused: “After Blue Planet II and Louis Theroux in one night I’m going to be grabbing everyone’s licence fees and flinging them gratefully at the BBC”
