BBC Scotland is so anti-SNP that even a demand from the SNP Govt for a review of the decision to scrap the BBC Scotland channel is stone last on the station's website.

Chancellor removes gas standing charges, as we argued when I was Chair if the Commons Energy Committee. But he has left electricity standing charges. Not a budget mindful of people in islands and rural areas, who have no gas option!

BBC Newscast journalist Adam Fleming goes out jogging with Labour Chancellor John Healy the day before his first Labour budget. The friendly best mates routine between the UK Labour Government and the MSM continues.

He has no intention of entering serious talks to end the conflict. This is a stand he takes in the knowledge that the Russians will not give up the Donbass or Crimea, and that he has Europe dancing on the end of a string. The result is London, Brussels and Bonn et al. -- from motives of Western imperialist illusions -- supplying him with an unending supply of money to continue what is now an exercise in enrichment for himself and his clique, and the needless slaughter of his own people. The only option available left to him is to embroil Europe and the US into direct conflict with Russia in a world war. Trump, to his credit, understands this and wants no part of it. Europe, on the other hand, is currently cursed by leaders for whom war with Russia has taken on the mantle of a crazed crusade. Zelensky not Putin is the real enemy of the Ukrainian people. He is the agent of Azov at home and NATO in Brussels. The result is his country being turned from a corrupt state into a failed one. These are the grim fruits of Maidan in 2014.
President Trump and I are on the same side when we speak about ending Russia’s war, but we see different instruments for achieving that goal. My philosophy is that Putin is a deeply Soviet person, both in his reality and mentality. We know it because my generation was born in the Soviet Union. When Putin is lying, we feel it. We were neighbors with the Russians for so many years. That's why I think we understand the Russians more clearly than the United States. The United States, considering global security, can discuss with the Russians different topics. But we understand the mentality of both Putin and the Russian people, their soldiers and civilians. When they are ready to do something, and when they fear Putin because they know they can be imprisoned. If they don’t go and kill Ukrainians, Putin will sanction them in his own way. Therefore, President Trump supported us on some topics, while on others we have different views. From an interview with The Sun. (1/3)

Classic BBC Radio Scotland 'interview ' with our First Minister on his business trip to India.."did you fly business class, how many people flew with you, were they in business class, how much did the trip cost" etc.etc. lmagine the Prime Minister being asked such questions.

Ooooo... £45 a year.... £3.75 a month. 🙄
Chancellor John Healey will remove standing charges from household gas bills for tens of millions of people, with the government estimating that 60% of households will save an average of £45 per year. Economics editor Faisal Islam is in Downing Street for #BBCBreakfast bbc.co.uk/news/live/cq62y5xn…

BBC BritNat never ran an article on the new figures yesterday showing a fall in alcohol deaths in Scotland. Instead the station has headlined the small rise in deaths amongst women. This is the second top story on the BBC BritNat website.

Who in any other country whether you are First Minister, Prime Minister etc do you get asked by a journalist how much is your travel cost when you go on a business trip to another country, cheap and nasty journalism, absolutely disgraceful from the BBC. #DefundTheBBC
Lucy Whyte has just conducted one of the most tabloid and shallow interviews we've ever heard on BBC Scotland. What should be an interview about the FM's trip to India turns into a trolling session that never lets up. She just goads and goads and goads. Infantile trash.

"This is the first Israeli election since the Hamas attacks of 2023" the BBC tell us, missing out the small matter of an Israeli-perpetrated genocide in the interim. That's like billing the 1949 German federal election as "the first since the Reichstag fire".

The fiasco yesterday where a former Tory candidate was the star of every broadcast outlet as she berated Stephen Flynn was an example of how lazy and open to manipulation Scotland's broadcast media is. The reporters wanted some drama and the shop owner knew it. Facts weren't important as evidenced by the moronic questioning from the STV reporter who effectively accused Flynn of covering drains with tarmac. It's not bias per-se. The reporters, STV, BBC, SKY, Clyde, LBC et al likely had no idea the shop owner was a former Tory candidate. That said, even had they known they'd have said nothing lest their little melodrama clip be binned. We can but hope they were embarrassed when seeing the image of the shop owner smiling as she was photographed standing in her shop with Russell Findlay later that same afternoon.

Replying to @heraldscotland
'Burnham is inviting a discussion knowing the public mood has moved against Brexit' Is Rebecca McQuillan Scottish? Is The Herald a Scottish newspaper? Who in Scotland is this for?

BREAKING: Journalists investigating corruption in Ukraine will face 5 years in prison. Zelensky wants me and my journalist colleagues to stay silent about how he’s stealing your billions. He’s taking the last thing left - freedom of speech. We bring you the truth.

How many times does this lie need debunked so that racist warmongering genocidal supporters like you Lamont get totally ignored. • Judaism: A faith, way of life, and ancestral culture that pre-dates Christianity and modern political ideologies by millennia. • Zionism: A secular-led political and national ideology created in Europe in the 1890s in response to rising antisemitism and European nationalism
Antisemitism is a scourge that we must stamp out. Thank you to @antisemitism for meeting with me today to discuss their work and how we can better challenge this hatred. I will always stand with the Jewish community against antisemitism.
