Here are a just a few images from across Scotland's Railway after #StormBoelo brought trees down onto the overhead lines/tracks and caused flooding at several locations. Thank you to the teams on the ground for all that they're doing to fully reopen Scotland's Railway. 🫶 @NetworkRailSCOT

If we learned a bit more about each others' histories, perhaps we might understand each other - and ourselves - a bit better.

Energy Sec refuses to answer, multiple times, whether she backs the government's immigration proposal. 🗣️ @SophyRidgeSky asks - "Do you support plans for people to live in the UK for 15 years before they get permanent residency?"

Some irritation at FM being asked about a reserved issue. Worth pointing out that the SG, last month, called for energy powers to be devolved to Holyrood, so it’s reasonable to expect John Swinney holds a view Other reserved issues: whisky duty, foreign affairs, independence

🔴 NEW: The Jackdaw gas field in the North Sea has been approved by the UK government When I asked First Minister John Swinney last week if he backed the projects, he refused to give me a straight answer and laid out an energy strategy with no mention of drilling 👇

Huge numbers of geese at the Eden estuary by St Andrews, Fife. What a glorious sight. Hundreds of thousands of migratory geese arrive in Scotland each autumn from the Arctic, Iceland, Greenland and Norway. And they don’t need a taxpayer funded hotel to accommodate them.
