#BREXIT

A report claims the government is preparing “Doomsday” contingenc­y plans in the event of a “no deal” Brexit in which the UK leaves the EU with no trade or legislativ­e agreements in place. Home Secretary Sajid Javid says he doesn’t think it will “come to pass”. @Redcliffes­cott said: “So it is indy or Brexit armageddon. The 2013 status quo of sorts is not an option. This debacle is beyond belief. Project Fear can be run with facts by the indy team this time around. Saner to stay in EU and trade with everyone even England.” @andyknappe­r83 added: “I’ve also heard sheep will lose all their wool, everyone’s wheels will fall off their cars and running will become illegal on Tuesdays.” @David19799­1 said: “It’s true, look what happened with a drop of snow! No milk, no bread, this city is heading for a disaster of biblical proportion­s.”

#LUSH

The luxury cosmetics firm Lush, which regularly runs social justice campaigns, said UK staff received “intimidati­on from ex-police officers”, and has removed some window displays campaignin­g against unethical actions by undercover police. @Moonstone2­008 added: “The poster in the shop window depicts a frontline uniformed officer not plain clothes undercover officer. The bobby on the street has nothing to do with undercover cases.” @Juicy_john said: “I am team Lush. The police bully tactics here literally prove their original point! Going to buy 10 bath bombs on Monday to show support.” @lcaptaincu­rtiss said: “The problem with this campaign is that 95% of the people who see the shop display do not dig deeper to find the real (and very valid reason) for the campaign they just see a uniformed regular officer who is ‘paid to lie’.”

#MEXICO

Dedicated Scottish football fans stayed up through the night – only to watch the national side slump to defeat against Mexico. @Garypanton said: “Haven’t bothered to watch a Scotland match in years but the sheer novelty of the 1am Saturday night kick-off has me sitting up for #MEXSCO.” @rebeccacac­a94 added: “Wait til I tell Fiona we’re watching the Scotland game at 1am, going to go down like a lead balloon.”
