Today's the day. My last on Beano. Sad to leave such a brilliant title. Having the honour of redesigning the comic in 2016 was a real highlight - but not as much as getting to work on it weekly with the best team ever. Elaine, Gary, Mark, Claire, Michelle & John - Thank You!

*Politician in listening to public scandal
Stephen Flynn struggles for answers as he's confronted by angry Scots shop owner thescottishsun.co.uk/news/16…

I thought it was odd that both BBC Reporting Scotland @BBCScotlandNews & @STVNews were focusing on this one person and the blame they were trying to put on the SNP Scottish Govt for Storm Boelo's damage to her sea-front shop. Turns out, as an ex-Tory Party candidate, not so odd.

Neil Mackay doesn't miss here ...
"It is astonishing that nobody is taking responsibility for this fiasco. Why has Hayley Valentine, BBC Scotland director, not been fired? Her annual salary at almost £200,000 - more than the First Minister - is safe.
"Valentine was once executive editor of Question Time - the BBC’s most debased programme, a symbol of all that’s wrong with the broadcaster. So you get an idea where her talents lie.
"The BBC Scotland channel has cost taxpayers around £200million since it was launched. Sometimes, it aired shows that literally nobody watched. Zero viewers. What a cosmic joke.
"There was never any real commitment to making the channel work, there was never any thought put into programming. No care, no love, no attention.
"BBC bosses were peasants in a palace. They had the chance to do something great, and blew it.
"No wonder many see it as an act of deliberate self-sabotage." 👇

@stvnews asking @StephenFlynnSNP why HE cemented over manholes outside a Tories shop in Largs has got to be the single fucking maddest BritNat “news” report I’ve ever watched 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Feel very sorry for this woman & how the storm affected her shop but her attack on Stephen Flynn was outrageous & almost irrational. Now we know why. Totally pathetic that the appalling Scottish media & this “journalist” forgot to mention this 👇🏻. They’re absolutely deplorable.

Because she is an ex Tory Party candidate.

Just a few of those interviewed by Scottish media to attack SNP or Scottish Government who are then revealed to be opposition party activists or candidates talkingupscotlandtwo.com/202…

STV News reporter Vanessa Taafft should take full responsibility for not informing viewers that shop owner Toni Dawson's attempts to politicise Storm damage is down to her being an ex-Tory Party candidate for the area. Doing the Tories dirty work, Vanessa? xitter.cf/msm_monitor/status/211…

"I'm gonna add a Russian to the crew to depict a peaceful future, and also give him a Monkees haircut to appeal to teenage girls" was the most wonderfully goofy late 60s thing Gene Roddenberry did. R.I.P. and hope heaven has plenty of nuclear wessels.

What an embarrassing afternoon for Reform UK.
Farage and Jenrick unveiled their economic plans to a half-empty hall in central London. Asked about the empty seats, Farage first blamed “staff incompetence”, then suggested the businessmen invited were simply too busy to attend.
How disgraceful to publicly humiliate your own staff rather than take responsibility.
An event meant to showcase Reform’s readiness for government instead showed how quickly Farage blames others when things go wrong.
You just know what sort of man he is to work with. If he’s this willing to blame his staff publicly, who knows what kind of behaviour is going on behind closed doors.

This one hurts. Walter was a kind, humble and loving man…and a friend. He will be missed by so many. My dad is joined with his friend in heaven.

This is Labour Politician Lord Tom Watson being paid to be a salesman for Palantir, a highly controversial tech company that has Government contracts.
This is a sign of a democracy in decline.

I hope the club still query this decision, just because we won doesn’t mean we should sweep this under the carpet.
Two games this season David Dickinson has made some horrendous decisions against United. Can call it a ‘VAR blunder’ but he went to the monitor to chalk it off

Simon Heffer’s final pars in his review of Liz Truss’ new book.
Of all the best examples of the Westminster unreality machine, where parts of the illiberal metropolitan elite and press build someone up clearly beyond their abilities, she was by far the worst. Zero accountability, of course.

It is beyond ridiculous that this man is still a life peer and retains the Labour whip.

This was just posted over on Facebook by @GeorgeTakei . #AdAstra Walter - and Pavel 🖖
My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man. Just last month, on Sept. 14, he turned 90, on the same day Brad and I celebrated our 18th wedding anniversary. I will always treasure that he and I shared that date.
Walter was more than Chekov. He was a writer, a teacher, a thoughtful man, and a loyal friend. To the fans who loved him for so many years, thank you. He loved you too. Rest well, my dear friend. Keep navigating a steady course.
– George
