Why do the BBC employ this poor excuse of a presenter?
Every week she spouts the line ''Our audience reflects the general voting intentions of the country''.
The country.. Why then are the SNP rarely on, Plaid rarely on, Greens rarely on?
It's always Labour, Tories ,Reform & some right wing journo

🇬🇧 Not only do uk governments not act in the best interests of Scotland, they now actively want Scotland to FAIL, as a way of trying to damage the image that Scots have of the SNP Scottish Government
As a result, the Devolution experiment has failed, and independence is needed

In Kirriemuir, we look out upon wind turbines
Mega pylons will march through our countryside, taking our renewable electricity to fuel industry in the north of England
In Edinburgh, the price of off-peak electricity is 7p a unit
In Kirrie? 17p
We can't have zonal pricing because London says no

The amount of people I’ve talked to who seem to read the right wing talking points on the SNP with no clue how they contrast with UK politics is really wild. The SNP have their faults but they have been giving us many things we have asked for consistently
Well said. I moved back to Scotland 5 years ago after 16 years in the south of England. What always gets me is the amount of ppl who say the SNP have destroyed Scotland, for all their faults they’re protecting it from a lot (Westminster) & if you haven’t lived elsewhere I don’t think that’s obvious.

Every time Westminster privatises a little more of England's NHS, Scotland's health budget gets cut because the Barnett Formula uses England as the standard.
Because of course it does.

I'm delighted that in Scotland, unlike in the rest of the UK, we have avoided doctors' strikes.
We're also now seeing consistent progress in our NHS: more operations, more GPs and falling long waits.
More to do, but that's real progress under the SNP.
