Nicola Sturgeon faced her weekly grilling from opposition MSPS at First Minister ’s Questions at Holyrood. The SNP leader was pressed on voting rights for prisoners, mental health provision and her party’s record on education. @ Holyroodjenni added: “FM really isn’t answering question from Ruth Davidson, which was about subject choices at Higher and Advanced Higher. RD says it is a ‘ scandal’ that subject choices are curtailed. Sturgeon keeps talking about grades.” @ Journostephen opined: “I’ll tell you what, it’s pretty galling to watch MSPS guffawing while @ Labourrichard [ Leonard] tries to ask about mental health referrals for young people being rejected. Especially since, as Leonard notes, there have been a further 5,410 rejected since the SNP promised an audit.”
# THOMASMARKLE
As the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle looms, it was revealed that her father, Thomas, will not attend. He has been under pressure after it was claimed he staged tabloid photos, and will miss out on the ceremony due to ill- health. @ Enews reported: “Meghan Markle has confirmed that her father Thomas will no longer be walking her down the aisle: ‘ I have always cared for my father and hope he can be given the space he needs to focus on his health’.” @ Markdistef wrote: “Now that Thomas Markle’s not coming, predict the US paparazzi are going to be absolutely climbing over themselves to get a photo of him on Saturday.” @ Theresa92911982 added: “I am not surprised, poor man hounded by the media and kids that have nothing nice to say about their sister. Hopefully he will make a good recovery & the bloody media will leave him to get on with his life, bless him.”
# ALLANMCGREGOR
Rangers officially unveiled the second signing of the Steven Gerrard era as former goalkeeper Allan Mcgregor returned to Ibrox after a spell with Hull City. @ sihnjukushug posted: “Allan Mcgregor signs with Rangers, very good signing. 100% better than any goalkeeper in the league, great business by the club so far.” @ Billy_ Y11 added: “Allan Mcgregor was my favourite player before he left. I’m delighted he’s back. What a leader, character and big personality in that changing room. Personally would make him Captain next season.”
