    There are reports of 'difficulties' with the delivery of postal votes across Scotland.

    Postal delays leave Scottish holidaymakers unable to vote

    Shambles is the word. Not enough printing capacity? Not enough IT staff to run the print job? Not enough posties to deliver or sort? This should surely have been known about 2 weeks ago! We're less than a week out now and anyone without a ballot in hand or in the post across the highlands and islands is now unlikely to have their votes count

  • Watching the replay now. Chiefs forgetting everything about rugby it seems. Blues completely dominant up front, and Plummer with a fantastic boot. Some good prep for when yous come north end of the year¦

    What a great match, well done to Glasgow, that's double league winners compared to zero Edinburgh!

    2nd half was all Glasgow, great to see them hold off the best attacking team to 1 try and what a shift from the 23. What a season, this has to knock on to Scotland next year

    Love the recognition of Palestine in here, and half of MPs sad to see, fptp really is abysmal, but given that was the same policy as last WM election: isn't this insane?

    Drosses potential replacement. Up to the SNP now then. I love how whomever knew about this waited until nominations were closed, quality shithousery. Whom else will see a suspension before they they see returns?
