Good morning Voornaam,

It's a big day in Scottish politics and more importantly for the future of Scotland's climate action - SNP ministers have been accused of an “abject humiliation” as a legal climate target is set to be officially scrapped today. You can read all the breaking news with The Scotsman and we will of course have updates throughout the day. There is no shortage of news, sport and opinion elsewhere either.

Five stories to start the day

- Conservative MP suspended over allegations of using party funds for medical bills

- Hay's Way - Lifeboat remains 'heartbeat of the village' almost 10 years after RNLI closure

- Premium Former government adviser calls for 'simpler' ferries to fix 'appalling' network

Have a brilliant Thursday.
