Old Firm once again acting like clowns. Away allocations likely cut (again) and they’ll be back to crying about it. Rinse and repeat.

Meet the Jolla Phone, Europe’s community-developed smartphone aimed at business users Pre-orders closed at 10,000 units for the Jolla Phone, which hoped to attract business and public sector users

Love the idea of the European-made Jolla Phone.

Looks fantastic, has an operating system based on Linux, and is built with privacy in mind.

10,000 pre-orders already shows there could be a growing appetite for alternatives to big US manufacturers.

Loved the first two episodes of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. Tremendous dialogue, good pacing, and loving the general vibe.

Only downside is the length of the episodes - need more time with Dunc & Egg. Keeps you hooked though, terrific tele.

β€˜A gaming success story’: how Warhammer became one of Britain’s biggest companies Worth Β£6bn and with revenues recently rising by 10.9%, the niche interest game has become a global business

Games Workshop is a fantastic success story and long may it continue.

Absolutely loved going to the branch on the Royal Mile as a kid to get the Lord of the Rings miniatures. Hours spent toiling away painting meticulously.

That Liverpool squad is full of world-class talent. If they’re not β€˜gelling’ or performing, the buck ultimately stops with the manager.

Nadim Zahawi arrived in the UK from Iraq as a child refugee. His family claimed asylum once they were here. Today he has joined Reform who will stop all in country asylum applications. Under his new party, his own family fleeing persecution would be immediately deported.

Former Tory Chancellor Nadhim Zahawi defects to Reform UK Zahawi, who was chancellor for two months when Boris Johnson was prime minister, is the latest former Tory MP to join Nigel Farage's party.

Reform wants to β€˜fix’ the country - to achieve this its *checks notes* recruiting people from the party that plunged it into chaos after 14 years of government.

Dundee 0 - 1 Hearts: Win of champions, red card controversy, left-back situation Hearts re-open a six-point lead at the top of the Premiership with a huge 1-0 win over Dundee at Dens Park. Joel and Craig look back at the action.

Can you guys smell that?

It's ANOTHER Heart of Midlothian win. And may well be the biggest of the season.

Two left-backs injured, 45 minutes with 10-men and a world class Craig Gordon save.

The mark of champions...

Given the quality of non-alcoholic beers etc out there now, it’s completely pointless trying to toe the line.

Just have a zero Guinness, it’s virtually indistinguishable from the alcoholic version.

Keir Starmer takes aim at Elon Musk’s X over Grok deepfakes β€œThis is wrong, it’s unlawful, we’re not going to tolerate it,” the U.K. prime minister said.

Banning X would do wonders for political discourse in the UK.

You’d completely isolate a misinformation hellscape that warps minds, starving reactionaries and hate peddlers of the attention they crave.

The UK has a lot of problems that need addressed, but seeing the US spiralling toward authoritarianism certainly puts things in perspective.

The same chaos and lunacy over there could creep in here if parties like Reform end up in Downing Street.
