With friends like that.....

What do the following have in common ? Mike Bloomberg, The New York Giants, George Clooney, Gordon Brown, Rick Santorum and Alex Salmond.

All have won Twitter endorsements from 80-year-old Rupe Murdoch. He joined the social media network on New Year's Eve.

Now he's backing Scottish independence.

If your breakfast is settled, you might like to glance through this correspondence between Alex Salmond and News International executives, released in August last year. Alex had - at that stage - met with the company 25 times since become First Minister.  Alex's increasingly tiresome invitations - to golf, plays, opera, Burns anniversaries, gatherings, dvd launches and plain old canapes - look suspiciously like he wrote them himself, and are signed "Yours for Scotland".
