Next to Trump and Musk, Shatner and I look like adoring newlyweds.

Things are heating up 🫡

31 years! Happy anniversary, Gwen. The kids and I are so lucky to have you in our lives.

One happy #sophiefromromania as the prof arrives home

Proud dad moment. Congratulations, Gus!

Prime Minister Mark Carney 🇨🇦 along with Manitoba NDP Premier Wab Kinew & Alberta Premier Smith agree on the need to quickly develop the Manitoba Port of Churchill otherwise known as the Hudson Bay Energy Export Terminal at the Canada First Ministers Conference in Saskatoon #cdnpoli

Harvey Milk served his country honorably — first in uniform, then in public office. Taking his name off this Navy ship sends a clear message, and it’s one of disrespect and cruelty.

Spread the love and acceptance #pridemonth

We just introduced the Strong Borders Act, equipping law enforcement with the right tools to secure our border, fight organized crime, and keep Canadians safe.

We know what Canada has, and we’re going to build on it.

Did you know A&W is a Canadian owned and operated business

#GVerse #Unfuckingbelievable: 🙄

We’re having an absolute ball so far rehearsing #ThroughItAllTogether at Leeds Playhouse. Actors and creatives all supporting one another for the good of the whole. As it should be! If we fall through the cracks… it won’t be from lack of mutual respect, good will and endeavour. 🙌

Good people of Bearsden! I’m coming to The Bookmonger on 17 July at 7pm to chat all things The Good Father with Caitlyn Payne. Tickets are limited so get in quick to support a vibrant new bookshop and a slightly less vibrant old author…😉💙📚

🕸️🃏 "Zelensky has no cards…" they said

Ukraine struck the city of Severomorsk that houses Russia's nuclear submarines, initial reports say at least one nuclear submarine was damaged or destroyed

⚡️The Ukrainian Security Service (SBU) reported that the June 1 “Spider Web” drone operation caused approximately $7 billion in damages and disabled 34% of cruise missile carriers in key Russian airbases.

#OnThisDay in 1950 my parents-in-law were married. The ceremony took place at St Chad’s Church in Winsford, #Cheshire. The reception took place at the bride’s family home, Dairy Farm.

I love this dog. He’s a pain in the neck, but he’s also wonderful, affectionate, scared of thunder, and always looking to get a treat. Our handsome Cairn terrier, Blue.

We FaceTimed™ this legend today, who escaped to Edinburgh (hame) for her 90th birthday. She didn't want us to fuss. They are currently on a trip to York, England. We won the mom lottery with this one. Happy 90, Ev! 🥳

No matter who you are or who you love, you are welcome here. Happy Pride Month, Minnesota!

Overheard: Apparently Zelenskyy had some cards, and he didn’t need a suit.

I’m sorry to be that person but please please please buy my book or come to my reading or request at your local library. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Faber are issuing a 50th anniversary edition of North. It was one of the set texts in first-year EngLit at Glasgow Uni in 1986, where our lecturer was the great Prof Butter, who taught Heaney at Queen’s. Still reading my copy 39 years later…💙📚

No Sleep ‘til Dunners…

I don't know if there is a more appropriate goodbye to Loretta Swit, than her last scene in MASH in the series finale. Loretta won two Emmy's for her role as Major Houlihan.

I posted several weeks ago about a distressing immigration raid at the Centre where I am a Trustee. My MP has extracted information from the Home Office. Do write to your MP if something worries you. They can really help.

A corrupt court.

The mayors and municipal leaders at today’s Federation of Canadian Municipalities conference are ready to build — housing, transit, and a stronger country. Canada’s new government is ready to build with them.

Delighted to be sharing a stage with Dr Valentina Bold at the Mitchell Library, Glasgow, on 31 July as we discuss ‘The Long Shadow of Scottish Gothic’ in an Aye Write pop-up event. See you there if you can make it…!💙📚

THE EDMONTON OILERS HAVE MADE IT BACK TO THE STANLEY CUP FINAL 🏆

Welcomed a great group of students from Georgetown, Ontario, to my office on Parliament Hill yesterday. These kids have big ideas for Canada. I’m working hard every day to deliver for them.

Canada welcomes the U.S. Court of International Trade’s decision on the United States’ tariffs. It confirmed what we’ve always held: that the American tariffs against Canadian goods are unlawful and unjustified.

Canadians elected this new government with a strong mandate: to bring down costs and help you get ahead. That work starts with a tax cut for the middle class, taking effect on July 1.

Have made the Helensburgh Advertiser. My work here is done…😉

Narrator: They are not considering the offer.

RFK Jr. is reportedly going to forbid government scientists from publishing in the world’s most respected medical journals — the Lancet, The New England Journal of Medicine, JAMA, etc. It’s going to take decades to repair the damage done by this administration.
