#THEVOW
Scottish Tory leader Ruth Davidson was against ‘The Vow’ promised to Scotland during the end of the 2014 referendum campaign but was overruled by party chiefs in London. @Scotlandscreams said: “Not even a wee bit surprised at this, still at least this exposes two lies, the Vow and Ruth Davidson’s influence in London” @Sportybilly wasn’t phased: “Headline says ‘Ruth Davidson furious about The Vow’. Of course she is. Ruth Davidson is always furious. About everything. It is her default position.” @Christov79 said: “She’s nothing more than a reactionary politician who cannot think ahead and just reacts to whatever happens. An absolute fraud of a politician.” @Malcolmcombe retweeted The Scotsman’s link saying: ‘I read the article behind this tweet and my prevailing thought was this: someone has written a biography of Ruth Davidson. That’s going to be a whole lot of words about not a lot.’
#ADAMLYON
Scottish rider Adam Lyon died following a crash during yesterday’s first Supersport race at the Isle of Man TT. Tributes for the young racing star quickly poured in. @enduroinfo posted: “Very sad to see Adam Lyon, young upcoming road racer, died at the TT today. He will be sadly missed.” @Leighogorman said: “More dreadful news from the IOM TT with the death of Adam Lyon. My condolences to his family and friends. May he RIP.” @Edhocknull tweeted: “Unfortunately, we lost another rider this morning at the TT. Our thoughts and sympathies go to the family of Adam Lyon who tragically lost his life following an incident on the mountain road. A newcomer to the TT, he was a regular competitor on the Irish Road Race scene. RIP”
#BGTFINAL
A quarter of a million pounds and a place on the Royal Variety Performance was the Britain’s Got Talent prize. Just under 11 million fans saw Lost Voice Guy crowned this year’s winner. @realrossnoble tweeted: “So pleased a comedian has finally won #BGT and a Geordie comic at that.” @ryruckledge said: “Just cried my eyes out at @BGT, literally not what you need when you’re hungover! Lost Voice Guy looked like he could burst with happiness, I loved watching him win!”
