#GREENOCK

Two police officers were in hospital yesterday after they were believed to have been stabbed while dealing with a call-out in Greenock. Police said the incident was not terror related.

@Andygibsontv posted: “My thoughts are with the @Policescotland officers in #Greenock at this awful time.”

@Carronmunro stressed: “When your home town is trending on Twitter and you see it’s because 2 police officers have been stabbed. I really hope the two officers involved are OK.”

@Clairemealcomms said: “Fantastic TV interview by Assistant Chief Constable Higgins on Greenock stabbings. Textbook. Great eye contact, caring and full of confidence. Well done.”

#RAJOY

Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy has been forced out of office by a no-confidence vote in parliament. Socialist leader Pedro Sánchez, who filed the motion after Mr Rajoy’s party was implicated in a corruption scandal, will become prime minister.

@Thorstenbr tweeted: “I remain sceptical, but let’s hope that the ouster of Rajoy means a better future for Catalonia and the Catalan fight for self-determination.”

@Vaughan_wms stated: “The corrupt government of Rajoy has fallen. Irony is that the Catalan MPS ousted him. He will go down as the worst democratically elected leader of Spain.”

@robmcd85 added: “Great to report that Rajoy has been given his marching orders. Here’s to a better future for Catalans, away from his icy grip!”

#EIFELZOO

German police warned residents of Lünebach to stay indoors after two lions, two tigers, a jaguar and a bear escaped from their enclosures. Flooding helped the animals escape at Eifel Zoo.

@charles_hawley posted: “Not much going on in Lünebach today. Just that a bear, two tigers, two lions and a jaguar have all escaped from the zoo.”

@jonvdijk88 joked: “Did not expect the live-action Madagascar movie that fast!”

@poppet2909 exclaimed: “Please please DO NOT KILL the escaped big cats .... ”
