In the glorydays a reporter would have approached the gigantic Lothian Buses map which adorned the Evening News office wall, and worked out this incident was in fact in Alnwickhill.

If you'e never read The Falling Man, you should do so. I post this on September 11th every year, and I find time to read it on this day every year. Still, in my eyes, the greatest piece of journalism I have ever read. esquire.com/news-politics/a4…

If you were young in 2001, or weren’t even born yet, it can be hard to imagine what 9/11 felt like. The shock of that beautiful, cloudless morning. The heartbreak of the families whose loved ones were taken with such swiftness and cruelty. The realization that the forces of malevolence and violence were closer, and the future less certain, than we knew. But in the days that followed, we felt something else, too. Pride in the rescue workers who had rushed to the scene, and the passengers who had stormed the cockpit. Admiration for the men and women who left behind lives of comfort to serve their country. A deep resolve that nothing would break the will of a truly United States of America. Today Michelle and I are remembering those we lost that day, and those who made the ultimate sacrifice in the wars that followed. We pray for their families. And we hope Americans everywhere remember the true lesson of 9/11: that we can survive even our darkest days as long as we move forward as one nation and one people.

Please. Resist. I count on you. Enjoy the Tapestry and long live the Entente amicale!

Those involved in the lies and cover-ups at NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde must be nowhere near the leadership of the new boards.

Love it when MPs use their local paper to reveal world news. Great class.

THE GOALKEEPER SCORED FROM HIS OWN BOX!!! 🤯🤯🤯 Incredible scenes as Gateshead take the lead against Harrogate 😳

One of the world's most brutal murderers is finally dead. At 84 years old the former Bosnian Serb general, Ratko Mladić lived way longer than he allowed his tens of thousands of victims. The more than 7000 Muslim men and boys he had slaughtered in Srebrenica will be his enduring shame. At least he was tried by an International Criminal Tribunal and found guilty of his enormous crimes of genocide. I am proud of the work we journalists did in the 90s to document his crimes against humanity, to finally hold him accountable.

There will never be a more iconic entrance. Tim Curry, you will never be forgotten. 💔

The letter that kids received at the end of Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library

It’s hard to imagine many people having a bigger impact than Dolly Parton. Born in a one-room cabin, she earned 11 Grammys and an Emmy, built a business empire, helped millions of kids learn to read, and — as if that wasn’t enough — helped accelerate the research that led to the Moderna COVID vaccine. What a life. Michelle and I are thinking of Dolly’s family and her many, many fans.

Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library has given away over 200 million books to kids. Her music will live forever but to those kids the books will be with them for life. imaginationlibrary.com/about…

During the eclipse in 1999, @TheSun had a free pair of safety glasses when you bought a copy. Sort it out @ChrisMusson - we used to be a proper country! ☀️ 🌒

About to start this from the first season. Any good?

Following the horrific killing of Ann Widdecombe, 1919 goes behind the scenes to find out how the authorities are keeping politicians safe. Panic buttons, fireproof mailboxes, and 'safe rooms' – this is what home life now looks like for MPs and MSPs. 1919magazine.co.uk/august202…

"Every reduction in officer numbers places greater strain on those who remain" A warning from the front line, as new figures published today show that the number of police officers in Scotland has slipped to the lowest level in two years. 1919magazine.co.uk/august202…
