Andy Murray became only the third player in the modern era to reach 10 consecutive quarter-finals at a single grand slam, as he progressed to the last eight at Wimbledon yesterday. @Nicolasturgeon tweeted: “Very well done @andy_ murray – that performance was the mark of a true champ” @Jennife28742937 said: “What a fabulous achievement at Wimbledon from Scotland’s best ever sportsman, Andy Murray, only the third player in history!” @Robertdoig12 added: “A brilliant fight back in fourth set Andy. You did yourself, family and team proud. Scotland too!” @Puckeyandy commented: “A brilliant match and a great example to all on how to play sport with dedication and determination”
#ANNEMARIEMORRIS
Tory MP Anne Marie Morris was suspended by her party last night after a recording surafaced of her making a racist remark at a meeting on Brexit. @Owenjones84 said: “Clearly Anne Marie Morris must resign her seat immediately and her fellow Tory panellists need to be held to account” @Shippersunbound added: “The Tory party is now a knockout tournament for idiots. They’re losing the secret recordings battle. They should lose Anne Marie Morris too” @Hichamyezza offered: “Anne Marie Morris’s casual use of the N-word clearly shows nobody in her circles has ever called her out on it” @joncstone said: “Anne Marie Morris was 27 years old when The Specials released “Racist Friend”, not sure you can claim she’s too old to know racism is bad”
#DONTSTEPONABEE
The annual ‘Don’t Step On a Bee’ day was held yesterday in a bid to promote the crucial role the insect plays in our eco system and how gardeners can help protect them. @ruby_molloy said: “It’s not really about not stepping on bees (who does that?), it’s more about publicising their plight. I’m up for that” @Missbabington added: “Found an exhausted bumblebee? Mix one teaspoon of water and two teaspoons of sugar, give the bee a few drops, it will drink, recover and fly away’ @Bella_longman said: “I’ve got a bee house in my garden and lavender plants which they love. I always see bees now”
