BBC Scotland issued more error corrections in the past year than all the other broadcasters, UK regional and national offices combined. This is just another statistic that will be treated with the same disdain and disregard by BBC Scotland as the other complaints upheld

We highlighted this two days ago. It took the ECU two months to rule on a slam dunk complaint against BBC Scotland. Good Morning Scotland broadcast the false information on July 23rd. It helped Anas Sarwar on an issue of huge political significance. It should have been publicly…

Jeezo! £14m is missing, no news crew on the doorsteps, no blue murder tents on the front lawn, no 3 year police investigation, not even a single police arrest. What a difference to what happens in Scotland.

Unite spent £112m of its members’ cash on a hotel project that has since been valued at just £29m. A KC-led inquiry also identified a missing £14m which has been described as a “mystery” and does not feature in the project’s final accounts. No blue tents? bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Odd that BBC Reporting Scotland didn't inform viewers that the Unison Union -currently targeting school strike action in Perthshire & Kinross- was the only union not to accept the offered pay rise.

These union bonuses are 💩!!!. Why won't @Keir_Starmer allow zonal pricing? Is it because Scotland will have the cheapest energy in Europe, which will attract billions of investment from heavy electricity users like data centres and steel works?Can't let that uppity jocks succeed

The unwillingness by the media to highlight the fissures within Scottish Labour is because they want to push a United/Resurgent Labour versus a Divided/Weakened SNP. A Holyrood Labour Govt excites them. The news narrative for Holyrood 2026 has already been decided. Splits…

The article about Labour's rebellion on the winter fuel payment vote has vanished from the main BBC Scotland website. A major political story removed after just 14 hours.

At some point Westminster really does need to start taking responsibility for its decisions.

NEW: Scottish Labour has tabled an amendment to the SNP motion which calls on the UK Gov to scrap the Winter Fuel Payment cuts. They duck the Rachel Reeve cut and put the onus on the SNP. The vote is this afternoon.

Labour cuts Winter Fuel Payment for pensioners and points the finger at the SNP instead of their colleagues in the UK Government at Westminster. This is the most pathetic I’ve seen Scottish Labour in a while.

During the election campaign Anas Sarwar said “read my lips - no austerity under Labour”. He lied and one of Labour’s first actions was to slash Winter Fuel Payments. Why won’t Labour MSPs call for the reversal of this cruel policy implemented by their London masters?


Andrew Barr Reposted

❄️ Anas Sarwar backed the removal of the Winter Fuel Payment, and supported his MPs who voted for it. 💷 Now he is demanding that the Scottish Government finds the money to mitigate UK Labour's austerity agenda. 🥀 Labour cannot be trusted to stand up for Scotland.

Wow. Scottish Labour MPs vote to slash support to Scots struggling this winter. Then Scottish Labour shamefully demands the SG plugs the gap they created. It increasingly dawning on those Scots taken in by Labour’s “change” gimmick that they’ve been played.

Ferret Factchecked - Levels of recorded crime ARE at 40 and even 50-year lows and victims themselves report a halving of incidences since 2007/2008 - read the proper research, read your own graph talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2024/10/04/fer…

They are blaming themselves then all of these SCOTTISH LABOUR MPs voted for it. They had an opportunity to stand up for Scotland they didn’t, now they need to deal with it.

Oh dear, this will make the u ionists blow their tops off. Just think how much better off every Scottish person will be when wasteminster is no longer in control of anything Scottish. We need independence, and we need it now.
