Even when Scotland is praised on the world stage the SNP gets no credit

Financial agencies applaud Scotland’s economy, but all we get is sneering. Govts need held to account but credit where credit is due

It shows how meaningless the quality of our debate has become

Even when Scotland gets a global thumbs-up financially the SNP get zero credit
In Scotland, any news – even good news – is subjected to partisan point-scoring. It means we repeatedly fail to have the debates we really need,…

So it turns out the dodgy "internal"report from a right-wing PR guy, appointed by a Tory spin doctor, appointed to the BBC by Boris Johnson; itself misquoted Donald Trump's Jan 6th speech - leaving out the bad stuff 🤪

What lessons do we draw from that? 🤷‍♂️
bsky.app/profile/mart...
"[Michael Prescott] The man who sparked chaos at the #BBC by criticising Panorama’s ‘misleading’ edit of a Donald Trump speech also doctored Trump’s quotes himself in his controversial report, making them seem far more benign than they actually were"

Wonder what Robbie Gibb has to say about that? 🤷‍♂️
Presumably the Daily Telegraph and GB News will go big on this story?*

Deeply embarrassing: Michael Prescott himself doctored a Trump quote in his anti-BBC report against...doctoring a Trump quote.

Haunting words from Dr Susie who we spoke to earlier:

John McDonnell is actually a much more thoughtful and sensible individual than he is given credit for and might have hade a decent chancellor with the right leader to support him.

Personally, I'd like some of these people to work with Polanski and build up a decent leftwing alternative there.

What did people expect? Starmer masqueraded a socialist to con the membership of the LP, with the sole purpose of destroying the left.

A moral and intellectual vacuum, and those are his best qualities.

I warned - over and over again - that Keir Starmer would be a disastrous prime minister.

That most political journalists did not understand the obvious tells its own story.

Private equity firm Sycamore Partners bought Walgreens.

Now Walgreens has stopped giving most workers paid vacation on Thanksgiving, Christmas and other major holidays.

Private equity takeovers are a disaster for workers, and customers.

It's note worthy that the Greens aren't just winning. We're taking seats from everyone and we're coming from fourth or fifth place to first, to do it.

But it takes a lot of work from us regular folks! So help us out

People have tried to say that the Green surge is just on social media.

Or in a bubble that's just about polls and just about new members.

Yet up and down the country - Greens are also winning elections.

Huge congratulations to the Canterbury Greens! 💚🎉

There's lots you can and should criticise the BBC for.

But it's our BBC - and it's important.

Great to speak to CNN - Donald Trump shouldn't have his hands anywhere near our public services.

"This is sociopathic behaviour"

"He is toxic, misogynistic, racist"
