#INDYREF2
Scottish Tories demanded Nicola Sturgeon rule out a second referendum on Scottish independence when she met Theresa May in London. @Angryscotland shared: “The Tories aren’t anywhere close to having a majority in Scotland. They’re in no position to demand that the Scottish Government rules out anything.” @Solsyster_ tweeted: “To us in the Scandinavian countries, unionist claims that Scotland’s population is too small for independence is just unintelligible.” @Rossthomson_mp said: “So much for the SNP listening to people. They will use any excuse to have #Indyref2. It’s a complete outrage. Nicola Sturgeon needs to take this threat off the table immediately. End the games – and stop using #Brexit to try to split our country in two.”

The average UK first-time buyer’s deposit is around £33,000. An estate agent said millennials can give up buying coffee, gym membership, holidays, takeaways, the lottery and a phone upgrade to save £30,000 over five years. @Henrypryor said: “Good to see @struttandparker turning up the sensitivity switch – millennials just need to man up, they seem to suggest. That’s going to go down well!” @indiablock noted: “So glad we have estate agents here to tell us we just need to never go on holiday, eat lunch or buy a lottery ticket and we could buy our dream house! Oh, and make sure we were born into money.” @bertnews offered: “As a millennial who rents and prefers wraps to sandwiches, I find the sandwich narrative very problematic.”
#HEARTSMAINSTAND
Hearts will request their game with Partick Thistle on Sunday be postponed if they can’t get the required safety certificate from the City of Edinburgh Council. @Donaldsonespn enthused: “Hearts may or may not play here this Sunday. But when the main stand is ready for occupancy supporters are in for a treat.” @stevesyb fumed: “This is absolutely pathetic. How long do they expect other clubs and the footballing authorities to comply with their frequent failure to meet building deadlines etc?” @Sbienkowski said: “I don’t really understand the backlash at all. It’s pretty normal for a project like this to run over deadlines.”
