My wife and daughters left behind a legacy of love, John Hunt tells BBC The racing commentator, speaking for the first time since the murder of his wife and two daughters, says their love has helped sustain him through grief.

This article is a very hard and upsetting but important read. TW: rape, murder.

Dangerous men don't come with a sign on their head. "He's often been referred to as 'crossbow killer'... but... He was just a person, just a man... who went to the gym, had a family, had a relationship, watched TV."

Big applause for Minister @mareetodd.bsky.social speaking up for marginalised communities, particularly refugees and trans people, at #SuicidePreventionScotland conference. Very sad that it feels refreshing to hear a politician say this right now.

*explore, obviously. My eyes are stinging from all the crying I’ve done during this debate, I clearly can’t see what I’m typing!

In floods of tears. Finally a chance to explora, scrutinise and see if there is a safe way to give people in Scotland choice at the end of life.

This is only stage 1, but it will be emotional and difficult for many. Thoughts and solidarity with anyone finding this hard for whatever reason.

Thank you to every MSP who has spoken with kindness & care today. A very emotional debate on assisted dying in the Scottish Parliament.
It’s 14 years this week since my mum died, so it’s been a hard watch for me. I trust every MSP to vote with their conscience and with constituents in mind.

I’m in a hotel in Turkey, it has a library. Among the various books in different languages I noticed this… @hackneyabbott.bsky.social you have international fans!

Gym question: do different countries use different units of weight on the machines? I’m in a gym in turkey and I’m not able to lift the same as I can at home, having to go down 10kg (I think kg?) Is that a thing or am I just weaker abroad?

Can you believe Spotify are hosting this “course”?

Would hosting this be a breach of the UK’s Online Safety act?

Shockingly there’s no way to report this on the Spotify app?!?

On Falling review: This superb debut about a lonely warehouse picker is an astonishing fable of hidden miseries Director Laura Carreira’s research into online retail fed into this deeply sinister but plausible world with whispers of sci-fi dystopia

Hang on Kenny, they also have wee padels. Actually, one of them brought her own white board to write live reactions on and I’m here for it.

Weaponising a family’s grief of their murdered daughter to further demonise immigrants, and parading out the girls mum, it’s sickening to watch. Naming a new bill after her daughter that will do nothing to protect women and girls from the majority of violence they face.

"We have accomplished more in 43 days" than other administrations in 8 years, and he's right. in the sense, that they have done more damage, harmed more poor kids abroad, undermined more laws, fired more civil servants including veterans etc etc

Did he just say “the days of unelected bureaucrats are over” or have I drifted off?!?! Just a few moments after he gave Musk a shout out, wave and applause for all his great work in government…

Trump says he's ended govt censorship and brought back free speech in America.

Apart from the White House press room, of course. Which he's filled with his own propagandists.

These Dems with their ‘false’ paddles must have sore arms, the amount of made up stats and info Trump is trotting out.

Trump listing all the ‘efficiency savings’ made so far by Musk. So much important stuff for people in need. Then he says Lesotho, ‘nobody has ever heard of it’.

An ignorant idiot and his ultra rich unelected buddy are ripping decades of hard work apart in days. Tragic.
