Oh dear, Keir
A government in a mess. PLUS: A Scottish TV star's battle for health, a SEAL raid gone wrong, a glimpse inside a beautiful Scottish castle that's up for sale AND all your TV, film and sporting recommendations for a perfect weekend.

👋 Good morning! It’s Saturday 6 September 2025. I’m Neil McIntosh, editor of The Early Line, and it’s great to have you here.
You’re reading the weekend edition of The Early Line. Paying subscribers get the full version, with six talking points and film, TV and sporting recommendations for the week ahead.

Have a wonderful weekend, all!
🌤️ The weekend’s weather: We’re looking forward to a bright and dry weekend across most of the country: decent in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen and especially sunny in London. (Here’s the UK forecast).
And here’s all you need to know this morning:
Upgrade to read the full Party Line, and: read about the Scottish TV star who’s been off our screens for three years battling illness, the SEAL raid that reads like a thriller - but went wrong, what happens when you accidentally fly your private plane into restricted airspace, see a spectacular baronial castle on sale in Scotland… PLUS: find top TV, film and sporting picks for the weekend.
