@Spirited1 agreed: “Ruth Davidson is absolutely destroying Sturgeon at the moment. Fantastic stuff!”
@Dachshunddoris replied: “She does every week and yet the SNP are still way ahead in the polls as is Sturgeon in popularity.”
@paulhaire replied: “Were you listening to a different FM Questions?”
@barrie_waller tweeted: “Amazed the Tories haven't somehow persuaded her to stay on… nothing fazes her.”
@ambushpredator replied: “Actually, credit where credit’s due. I think Sturgeon is destroying Sturgeon!”
@229richard wrote: “All Sturgeon does is reflect back with insults and doesn’t answer any question, she won’t resign because none of her party will ask her to. If the Greens stopped supporting her could the whole opposition call foravoteofno confidence?”

@irishsilver wrote: “Frasier was greater than the sum of its parts... It won’t be the same w/out Martin, Niles, Daphne, & Eddie. It had its time, now get some new ideas, people!”
@Mccroskey123 replied: “Frasier had a great cast, but it was first and foremost the quality of the writing that held it together for so long. If they can get great writers like the had in the 90's the show will work. Hire the Modern Family team. Actors dont make great shows, writers do.”
@tardust6794 wrote: “It won’t be even close to the same without John Mahoney. Martin and Niles made Frasier what it was.”
@willishl replied: “I agree. That's why they would need someone who fills that ‘real guy’ r ole. Miles and Frasi er were uppity socialites and John Mahoney was a clear contrast to that. I say recast Frasier's son (now a 30-something) and make him that person. Could work if done right.”
A forest fire has broken out in a rural area north of Tokyo, close to another blaze which has been burning for four days.
One man suffered burns and was taken to hospital, said Hitomi Hirokami, an official in Kiryu in the Gunma prefecture, about 60 miles north-west of Tokyo.
News footage showed smoke billowing upwards from the hills.
Another fire has been raging in nearby Ashikaga in the Tochigi prefecture, where 207 households have been asked to evacuate, said spokesman Minoru Takayama.
