Today was the opportunity to analyse the impact of Labour's welfare cuts and the response from Labour MSPs.
BBC Wales carried out its duty as a public service broadcaster. BBC Scotland decided to protect and assist Labour's Anas Sarwar with yet more boilerplate NHSBad.

Has you been told by Labour's arms manufacturing lobbyist funders that peace-makers are a major threat to "security" (ie profits) and need to be stopped?????

Every English BBC region had lengthy segments dedicated to Labour's welfare cuts on their Sunday Politics show as did BBC Wales. The odd one out was BBC Scotland. Here is every intro from every English programme. Any explanation Martin Geissler? Are you proud of this?

Only two of the most popular 20 radio stations in Scotland are owned in Scotland. All the others are controlled from outside Scotland. How can this be healthy? Broadcasting should be devolved.

It's not like elections where it's easy to decide who to vote for. I am struggling, every one of these decisions by the Labour Government had a horrendous impact on people who can least afford it and least deserve it.
What's the WORST thing the Labour Party have done since coming to power in July 2024?
