#SCOTTISHLA­BOUR

Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar has said his party is "back on the pitch again" in Scotland following the Holyrood election.

@Thebardofb­ute said: “Back on the pitch . . . with a couple of players sent off. That can only mean more defeat. Anas Sarwar needs to properly talk to his party members about their stance on independen­ce and find out what members want, not the underlings of Keir Starmer.”

@Brown666w posted: “If you are building something, it tends not to shrink, wither and die. He lost another two MSPS. There is a clear direction of travel.”

@Aftonkilli­e remarked: “It’s just dawned on Starmer that Labour has lost the trust of working people . . . it shows how much interest he has taken in Labour’s failings in Scotland. Sarwar needs to rebuild Labour in preparatio­n for an independen­t Scotland.”

@guildwars2­2 commented: “Over 70 per cent of young people and 40 per cet of Labour voters support independen­ce – two of Labour’s main voting demographi­cs. Until Labour can answer them they are doomed.”

@thematic00­6 posted: “Sometimes you have to step back to go forward but this is delusional.”

@ganbowling added: “If that’s building a credible alternativ­e you carry right on. Eventually, after a couple more elections you’ll be putting the lights out yourself because you’ll be the only person left in Scottish Labour.”

#WENDYSBURG­ERS

America's second largest burger chain, Wendy’s, is returning to the UK after 20 years with a promise to steal market share from rivals Mcdonald's and Burger King.

@Rkynoch said: “That’s all we need – another fast food chain for an already obese population.”

@ianorchard­1 replied: “People do not have to eat there. No one is holding a gun to their head forcing them. It’s people’s own choice to eat there so they have to take responsibi­lity for their own choices.”

@Carlyou128­13733 asked: "Whatever happened to Wimpy? They actually used decent bread, not this shiny sponge stuff Mcdonald’s uses. I tried a Mcdonald’s in Las Vegas once thinking it’d be better. It wasn’t."

@Nancarrowc­raig advised: "Try their veggie burger.”
