This is what happens when you fail to report the very real corruption at the core of the Govt and instead act like their PR spokesperson. You and your

Simple post…if Scotland votes Labour and returns more Labour MPs then we’re fvcked!
Starmer and his Tory Lite policies will screw over the country for Englands benefit

line is the -“Labour need to win seats in Scotland to get a majority” ?
It’s utter horse sh*t as they need to win in England to get a majority full stop .
The 80s and 90s proved that !!
What's red, black , uses murdered babies for political gain and is invisible to BBC Scotland? Perhaps there's litter on a train?

Douglas Ross wants the FM to apologise for backing Michael Matheson when the iPad story broke. Hmm, this is the same Douglas Ross who backed Boris Johnson twice and also forgot to declare tens of thousands of pounds in earnings.
This is sick. There are 𝙉𝙊 parallels between accidental tragedies and the deliberate mass murder of babies. Someone needs to call this individual out. This is grotesque politicking.
Something that’s been bothering me recently about the

attacks on SNP but very few criticisms or attacks on Labour by the Tories …seems like the Unionists are in some sort of collusion ???
BREAKING
On April 8th 2020 the Welsh Labour Govt issued guidance to care homes requiring them to accept untested hospital patients despite those patients showing symptoms of Covid. This blows apart Anas Sarwar's claim that Labour opposed untested discharges into care homes.
Anas Sarwar has deleted his tweet that accuses the Scottish NHS of having a "toxic defensive culture" and linking it to an article referenced by his deputy Jackie Baillie who says there are parallels between Glasgow’s Queen Elizabeth University Hospital and the Lucy Letby case.
Not sure
@AnasSarwar
is going to do well in this campaign. Even under the gentlest of questioning from Martin Geissler this morning he came across as weak and duplicitous. Couldn’t answer the easiest of questions
In 2007 an SNP plan to dual the A9 was blocked by Unionists who forced the new minority Scottish Govt to use the cash to fund the Edinburgh Trams project. A project the SNP opposed.
Tell us again who's to blame for the Edinburgh Trams fiasco?
Major Development in UK Covid Inquiry.
Despite telling the Senedd he did not use WhatsApp, the inquiry hears First Minister Mark Drakeford was regularly using it to discuss policy announcements.

@spectator
Something that consistently confuses me . If Scotland is such a strain and drain on the UK why are they soo reluctant to allow a democratic choice to leave? The rest of the UK would be happy without the burden of Scotland surely so it would make sense for them??
@mikedailly
Nope sorry ….no one I know is worse off under SNP. As a country we are in a better place since Labour were in power! If folks feel less well off then it’s Westminster to blame and whether it’s Tories or Labour nothing will change

The hypocrisy is almost on Tory levels

BBC Scotland has gone into propaganda overdrive this morning. A Tory FOI request about ferries is the top bulletin and an all-out attack on the council tax freeze is also underway.
Welsh FM Mark Drakeford has refused to answer questions in the Welsh Senedd relating to his use of WhatsApp during Covid. Extraordinary exchanges. Humza Yousaf wouldn't get away with this. What will the Covid Bereaved think of Labour in Wales?
@CovidJusticeUK
@RuthDavidsonPC
Really Baroness??
Where’s the Tories WhatsApp’s? What do you think they’d say?
Why are your precious Boris and Rishi et al not handing them over?
Strange that they seem to be the only folks who can’t get them retrieved?

@HannahMargBrown
Hmmm methinks
@AnasSarwar
is trying to be clever and play semantics. He’s maybe not in coalition but he’s enabling a Unionist block to subvert the largest party taking control in multiple councils which isn’t respecting democratic wishes is it?
It’s smells like collusion between the Unionist parties and the supposedly impartial BBC Scotland News ..which is surely against their charter
What do you think
@Ofcom
@BBCNewsPR
?
What is going on here is what the BBC did with GRR and the Deposit Return Scheme. Both had cross party support and public support until the BBC ran a coordinated campaign to discredit them. If the BBC can demonise the policy enough then Sarwar & Ross will turn against it.
But it’s not though is it?
4 out of the last 6 UK Labour Governments achieved a majority without Scottish votes ..showing that Labour needs to win in England to form a govt.

What about your forgotten earnings Mr Ross? Is it only Tories that are allowed to make such “mistakes”?
Will you be demanding your health spokesperson pays for his own glamour shots instead of billing the taxpayer?
BREAKING
Labour's candidate in the Rutherglen & Hamilton West by-election admits he refused to vote Labour in the 2019 EU elections and the 2019 general election. Was he happy to let the Tories continue in power? What an astonishing admission.

A future out of the EU that we didn’t vote for? A future being governed by parties we haven’t elected?
A future where devolution is constantly challenged and undermined?
It’s a nope from me
The news that Labour has U-turned on its promise to provide free school meals is awkward for Anas Sarwar who only last month was on Reporting Scotland demanding the SNP honour its pledge to extend its free school meals policy. Will Sarwar be challenged on Labour's U-turn? Nope.

Shocking statement to make. If a scrupulous landlord is not willing to help support tenants for a limited period then they shouldn’t be landlords (and this is speaking as a landlord on 2 properties)
Labour in Scotland will cost you :-
- £30,000 per child going to uni.
- £9.65 per prescription.
- Eye test - £23.14.
- Dental checkup - £25.80.
Return :-
- A Tory agenda.
- Perpetual Brexit.
Don't be conned. You don't know what you've got till it's gone...

@ScottishLabour
..reflect on this the next time you’re tempted to criticise the Scottish NHS and claim you could do better. You can’t!!
How's the NHS in Labour run Wales? Doctors are the lowest paid in the UK and are leaving to go to Australia. Welsh language channel S4C covered the issue. Junior doctors in Wales went on strike again this week. Senior doctors are balloting for strike action now.
@RuthDavidsonPC
…and Brexit will deliver sunlit uplands and £350 million a week as promised by the Tories ..hmmm I wonder what happened to that? Any idea Baroness
@RuthDavidsonPC
?
Full of dudgeon when it’s not Tories making claims that you dont like aren’t you ?
🤡🤡
This might be an effective point to make in a legal arena, but not so effective in a political arena. The UK Govt's counsel has just argued that *any* legislation passed by the Scottish parliament can be vetoed by the UK Govt because the Scotland Act allows it. We have no power.
