Alex Cole-Hamilton has said he has been a victim of anti-English hate. If true, I would condemn it. Alex Cole-Hamilton has shown sheer hatred with his comment that Scotland “can never and should never exist again” — hatred which we haven’t forgotten.

Live in the country of Scotland? Proud to be Scottish - incomer or born here? Why would you vote for this man?

Reminder that it wasn't just right-wing columnists bigging up Trump after the 2024 election win. Anas Sarwar too was saying how crucial it was to put Scottish business links ahead of silly political concerns Somehow I doubt he will want this messaging in election flyers now

Which party has been responsible for the longest bin strike in history, almost no new affordable housing, fewer teachers and no free school meals - It's Birmingham Labour but there's a media silence on that

Professor John Robertson OBA The bin strike in Birmingham is one-year long on January 6th 2026. A year?! It’s unheard of but it’s not the BBC headline today on the 3rd. Indeed, it hasn&…

If the Daily Mail does call for a Reform UK vote at the next election, it will mark the first time that newspaper hasn't backed the Tories since it supported the British Union of Fascists

Regards the SNP's 7 day-a-week GP accessibility plan: "That's the SNP's new shiny policy pledge" declares STV Scotland Tonight Rona Dougall. "Shiny"? That's a bit cynical from a supposed impartial STV presenter.

Kate hasn’t question your Scottishness. She’s (accurately) pointed out that Scottish Labour seeks to align Scotland with England … making everyone in Scotland poorer with worse services. No thanks mate 👍🏾
Kate Forbes at the SNP conference just said: "Labour’s ambition for Scotland is to be more like England” I & my @ScottishLabour colleagues are just as Scottish as her, but she chooses to “other” the SNP’s opponents by questioning our patriotism. Scotland belongs to all of us.

Show me that you know *nothing* about politics in Scotland without opening your very stupid mouth… Also - remind me why this platform is now utterly fucked, due to the infestation of bots, fools, blaggers and the rest of the right wing ship of fools.
Dear me desperate stuff coming out of the SNP conference. Desperate acts from a party who’s about to lose control in Scotland and they know it 🏴

Pam votes for the woman who voted for disability benefit cuts, the 2 child benefit cap, snooping on benefit claimant accounts and is right wing. Whilst I'm here; I am so sick of those pretendy politicians paid handsomely by us, but refuse any right of reply for their lying! OUT.
I’ve proudly voted for @bphillipsonMP to be our Deputy Leader. Bridget has led game changing policies delivering funding boosts for education that will improve the life chances of our young people. She’s got the ideas and the fight to deliver for our Party and our country🌹

We have a close friend who works in the Pacific Quay news office. This is an accurate description of what it's like. And it's become much worse since the new Scottish secretary was appointed. SNPbad is the brief and you're out if you don't tow the line.

So we have BBC Scotland, the Chair of the Scottish BMA, Sarwar, Baillie, the English NHS Health Secretary Wes Streeting, the UK PM, all of Labour HQ & the branch office Labour party in Scotland all politicising the NHS in Scotland but England’s NHS is to

English Health Correspondent Hugh Pym with bad blood By Liz S “Why is Reporting Scotland still headlining the three-day-old news of ‘hundreds’ of operations cancelled in one NHS board”…….why indeed…

What you won’t see on the BBC: Scotland Drug Deaths ↓13% Alcohol Deaths ↓7% Knife Homicides no increase/decrease Homelessness Deaths ↓18% England Drug Deaths ↑11% Alcohol Deaths ↑7% Knife Homicides in 2023/24 ↑8% Homelessness Deaths ↑ 16%
BREAKING BBC Scotland has had to issue yet another correction after giving out false figures relating to drug deaths. We've lost count of the corrections and apologies the BBC has had to make after broadcasting false claims. The falsehoods always negatively impact the SNP.

Waiting times in the English NHS have gone up for the third month in a row. It made the BBC News at One but was dropped from the News at Six. No politicians in sight. No health secretary. Sarwar and Baillie are lying when they claim waiting times are going down in England.

There are several stories in the media abut MoD & civil nuclear facilities leaking radioactive waste into Scotland’s natural environment on the West, East & Northern coasts. Disgracefully BBC Scotland has not highlighted these stories which have huge implications for cancer

It's uncanny how forced "corrections" issued by the BBC always - ALWAYS - relate to stories painting Scotland or @ScotGov in a poor light. Continually telling Scottish folk that they and the country in which they live are shite is their default position. https://t.co/o87UFm6zBT
NEW: The BBC has been forced to issue a correction after exaggerating the number of drug deaths in Scotland.

This is grotesque from Glenn Campbell. Exploiting an eight year old girl's health issues to push a political attack agenda crosses the line. It's bad enough from opportunist politicians like Sarwar, but not from BBC political editors. He really needs to step back from his role.

Alexa, who voted against scrapping the 2 child cap? 👇👇👇
Great to meet @GordonBrown in Fife to see the work of the Big House Multibank. Ending child poverty is Labour’s moral mission: it’s why I entered politics and it’ll be my top priority as deputy leader.
