Thank you to the many business owners I heard from in Largs.
Despite the enormous challenges faced in recent days you were incredibly generous with your time.
And to Fairlie residents who showed me the damage on their doorstep. A stark reminder of the power of this storm.

Stephen Flynn struggles for answers as he's confronted by angry Scots shop owner thescottishsun.co.uk/news/16…

The good news is that the vast majority of our train services are expected to run as normal on Monday. 🚆
Teams using specialist equipment will carry out essential safety checks on the remaining affected lines. Because of this, disruption may continue into Monday morning on a small number of routes:
🔹 Inverness to Kyle of Lochalsh
🔹 Inverness to Thurso/Wick
🔹 Glasgow Queen Street to Fort William/Oban
🔹 Ayr to Stranraer
We're working closely with Network Rail Scotland to get these final lines reopened as quickly as possible. Safety remains our absolute priority, and trains will only resume when the tracks are fully cleared and checked. 👷♀️👷♂️
If you are travelling on Monday, please allow extra time and check your entire journey on the ScotRail app or website. 📱
Thank you again for your patience and understanding while everyone on the ground works hard to get Scotland's Railway fully open. 🙏

The #A78 between Largs and Skelmorlie will remain closed for a considerable period due to damage from #StormBeolo crews are implementing a full closure which traffic will need to follow. Access to properties will be arranged with locals.

This is not true.
I should’ve seen the BBC news that morning - but the FOI confirms I was not briefed.
Jeez, if I’d known, I’d have given a damn sight better answer than I did at the time!
An answer that wasn’t acceptable and nobody was more frustrated than myself about that.

🤝 Leaders of Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Wales have signed memorandum on independence to work together.
All nations should have a choice over their future.

Welcome clarity from the new Prime Minister.

They deserve to look back on their inaction in the face of the genocide in Gaza, and ethnic cleansing in the West Bank, by Israeli forces in absolute horror and shame.
Just as they deserve credit for finally finding the courage, today, to say and do the right thing.

Promise made, promise delivered. The £2 bus fare cap is now live in Glasgow and Strathclyde.
From Ayr or Greenock to Glasgow, you now save around £8 per journey.
We are cutting the cost of living and this is just the start.
