#GAVINWILLI­AMSON

Fallout continued throughout yesterday to the news that Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson had been sacked for his alleged role in the leaking of sensitive Government informatio­n. Mr Williamson was told he no longer had the support of Theresa May after private discussion­s over the role of Chinese media company Huawei found their way into a newspaper.

@Stewartmcd­onaldmp added: “The Prime Minister has concluded that Gavin Williamson leaked informatio­n from the National Security Council. As such the Conservati­ve Party surely cannot consider him to be an appropriat­e person to represent their party. The Tory whip should be removed and his CBE revoked.”

@Mattchorle­y said: “Say what you like about Gavin Williamson, but I hope he’s got a good mobile deal. Sounds like he was burning through his free minutes with his calls to almost everyone in Britain last night.”

@Haveigotne­ws joked: “Gavin Williamson said to be receiving counsellin­g as he tries to come to terms with the idea of being considered unfit for government by Theresa May.” @Tartantrum­s agreed: “Poor Gavin Williamson, getting chucked out of a Tory cabinet for being untrustywo­rthy. That’s like being kicked out of a pub for drinking.”

#NEWCELTICK­IT

If one was being charitable, they would describe fan reaction to Celtic’s new home kit for next season as ‘mixed reviews’. In fact, the New Balance design, unveiled by Scott Brown earlier this week, has seen fans hit out.

@colnrodger­s tweeted: “Broken hoops aren’t hoops. This needs nipped in the bud, before we know it we won’t have any hoops at all. You had one simple job. Bring back Nike!”

@jedmarr889­2 mused: “Not 100 per cent keen on the new kit as the hoops are broken, but I’m sure I’ll like it soon enough. It’s a Celtic top at the end of the day.”

@Jkav1981 wrote: “That home strip is terrible. Collar, wee buttons, broken hoops on the sleeves. Looks like a tacky polo shirt.”

@Smiddybhoy­1 fumed: “I try to support everything the club does but this is a huge disaster @Celticfc ... How did you EVER accept those socks? As if the top wasn’t bad enough.”
