Who in any other country whether you are First Minister, Prime Minister etc do you get asked by a journalist how much is your travel cost when you go on a business trip to another country, cheap and nasty journalism, absolutely disgraceful from the BBC. #DefundTheBBC

"This is the first Israeli election since the Hamas attacks of 2023" the BBC tell us, missing out the small matter of an Israeli-perpetrated genocide in the interim. That's like billing the 1949 German federal election as "the first since the Reichstag fire".

The fiasco yesterday where a former Tory candidate was the star of every broadcast outlet as she berated Stephen Flynn was an example of how lazy and open to manipulation Scotland's broadcast media is.
The reporters wanted some drama and the shop owner knew it. Facts weren't important as evidenced by the moronic questioning from the STV reporter who effectively accused Flynn of covering drains with tarmac.
It's not bias per-se. The reporters, STV, BBC, SKY, Clyde, LBC et al likely had no idea the shop owner was a former Tory candidate. That said, even had they known they'd have said nothing lest their little melodrama clip be binned.
We can but hope they were embarrassed when seeing the image of the shop owner smiling as she was photographed standing in her shop with Russell Findlay later that same afternoon.

BREAKING: Journalists investigating corruption in Ukraine will face 5 years in prison.
Zelensky wants me and my journalist colleagues to stay silent about how he’s stealing your billions.
He’s taking the last thing left - freedom of speech.
We bring you the truth.

How many times does this lie need debunked so that racist warmongering genocidal supporters like you Lamont get totally ignored.
• Judaism: A faith, way of life, and ancestral culture that pre-dates Christianity and modern political ideologies by millennia.
• Zionism: A secular-led political and national ideology created in Europe in the 1890s in response to rising antisemitism and European nationalism
Antisemitism is a scourge that we must stamp out.
Thank you to @antisemitism for meeting with me today to discuss their work and how we can better challenge this hatred.
I will always stand with the Jewish community against antisemitism.

Fortescue to Chowns on Greens4Palestine: "This group obviously has a big influence over your partys direction... do you think they should be kicked out of the party?"
Can you imagine a journalist asking, should Labour Friends of Israel be kicked out of Labour? Of course you cant

#BBCBreakfast's report on the Israeli election mentions Netanyahu 5 times
But you know what isn't mentioned? The fact that he's wanted for using starvation as a method of war, intentionally directing attacks against civilians, & extermination/murder as a crime against humanity

Feel very sorry for this woman & how the storm affected her shop but her attack on Stephen Flynn was outrageous & almost irrational. Now we know why. Totally pathetic that the appalling Scottish media & this “journalist” forgot to mention this 👇🏻. They’re absolutely deplorable.

I thought it was odd that both BBC Reporting Scotland @BBCScotlandNews & @STVNews were focusing on this one person and the blame they were trying to put on the SNP Scottish Govt for Storm Boelo's damage to her sea-front shop. Turns out, as an ex-Tory Party candidate, not so odd.

The media in Scotland are just propagandists for the British Anglo State: xitter.cf/JohnnyDundee/status/21…
STV News reporter Vanessa Taafft should take full responsibility for not informing viewers that shop owner Toni Dawson's attempts to politicise Storm damage is down to her being an ex-Tory Party candidate for the area. Doing the Tories dirty work, Vanessa? xitter.cf/msm_monitor/status/211…

Hey @STVNews pray tell, how can you blame @StephenFlynnSNP for North Ayrshire Council paving over the drains in Largs? Absolutely dreadful biased reporting. No journalism, just British Anglo State propaganda.

Today I was denied entry into the West Bank, alongside other parliamentary colleagues from across Europe as part of a @ProgIntl delegation.
We were held for 8 hours, interrogated and ultimately prevented from crossing the border.
I came to stand alongside Palestinians being attacked for harvesting olives on their own land. Instead, we were turned away, with no reason given.
More than ever, Palestinians are being subject to terror and violence by the IDF and illegal settlers. Increased blockades, demolitions and unthinkable violence have become the norm for Palestinians in the West Bank.
It is more important now than ever that we bear witness and show our solidarity.
But we were prevented from doing so.
I will continue to do everything I can to apply pressure on the Netanyahu government, and those responsible for the persecution and genocide of the Palestinian people.

Andy Burnham's tactic of making scattergun announcements means this last seven days we've had 'Headphones on trains' ... 'Stockpile food' ... 'Olympics north' ... 'War is coming' ... 'Rejoin EU' ... 'Allow free movement' ... 'End rough sleeping'. He's got no actual plans.
