Wee Ginger Dug:- “What has BBC ever done for me, or for any other Scot? It has gaslighted us, short-changed us, cheated and deceived us all. It is failing in the first duty of a public service broadcaster, serving the public. It serves the interests of Westminster, not Scotland.”

Burnham in Parliament yesterday. The revenues from Jackdaw gas field goes to produce green energy. In fact £2 billion is being invested in 2 offshore wind farms. 1 in East Anglia and 1 in Scotland.Turns out the Scots 1 is in Norfolk. Norfolk in Scotland? Eh no. Ripped off again.

Burnham is no better than Starmer at keeping his word: xitter.cf/WASPI_Campaign/status/… Scotland cannot trust a word he says.
.@andyburnham promised to meet #WASPI women. A Prime Minister should keep his word.

The Ombudsman found maladministration. Hundreds of MPs agree. @andyburnham agrees. Supporters of #WASPI compensation outnumber opponents four to one. The case has been made. All that’s missing is a meeting, and the Prime Minister promised us one.

This article about Marra's EU membership call reinforces our belief that the Scotland Office is influencing BBC Scotland news output. There's no mention that this is a U-turn. Last month Marra cited political instability as a reason *not* to rejoin. Why has he changed his mind? Marra's lack of detail isn't mentioned - i.e. what's the mechanism to rejoin? Another EURef? If so, what if the four parts of the UK vote differently again, does England call the shots ... again? What about currency? The SNP is always being told an Indy Scotland would have to adopt the Euro. What about post-Brexit trade deals? What about fishing? The article is stripped of all journalistic curiosity and scrutiny. Andrew Kerr's 'analysis' reads like a statement from Scottish Labour. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c820…

Still not a mention of Burnhams taxpayer funded polling on Scottish independence from BBC Scotland news, STV news any other newspaper but the national. They're employing a total blackout. On whose orders?

Wee tip Joe Scotland didn't want to leave the EU in the first place. We voted 62% to Remain but as usual we were told that England gets to make the decisions on international affairs. Just another reason for #ScottishIndependenceASAP

Unfortunately @BBCScotlandNews @STVNews have no time in their busy News cycle or programmes to cover. #snpbad Nor the Ambulance Service investment announcement yesterday.

Without prejudice Dear @HarrietCross_MP Having seen your poor attempt to blacken the First Minister’s reputation, @JohnSwinney, with your potentially libellous post here on X, I agree with his demand that you withdraw your accusation and apologise.

Positive news from the Scottish NHS. Don't suppose it will be welcomed by the usual critics.

While locals count every penny, @HarrietCross_MP sits on a £91k salary + nearly £180k in taxpayer-funded expenses! Includes over £20k just on TRAVEL! When did public service become a luxury travel club? Time to live in the real world... #HarrietCross #Excess #GordonAndBuchan

The @ScotParl has just voted for the call to transfer broadcasting powers to Scotland. We need a thriving national broadcaster that can be fully supported to represent our country, and it's time for the powers to be devolved to a Parliament that actually cares about it.

Still nothing on BBC Scotland news or STV news about Burnhams taxpayer funded polling on Scottish independence. It's as if it hasn't happened.

Ipsos Scotland: 58% of Scots think Holyrood should decide on new North Sea oil and gas licences, not Westminster. The waters are off our coast. The jobs are in the north east. The decision gets made in London. Make it make sense.

Why did BBC Scotland reporter Andrew Kerr fail to ask Michael Marra a single question about his EU membership U-turn yesterday? Kerr was at the event. Zero questions to Marra about a new EU referendum. Nothing about the Euro. Nothing about Fishing. Instead Kerr sought to sell Marra as a strong leader setting the agenda. There was literally no journalistic scrutiny of Marra's U-turn. No search for detail. No mention that it even *was* a U-turn. Reporting like this is why more and more people don't trust the BBC.
