ITV viewers have demanded an apology over 'anti-Scottish comments' on Good Morning Britain today.

Susanna Reid suggested the bank holiday for the World Cup was just 'about alcohol'

@JimSpenceDundee I hope you can take comfort in the memories, Jim

It is simply not the case that 250 people pay 60% of all the income tax in Scotland @SirTomHunter.

This is a false claim that should be corrected. Here’s why 🧵

On this day in 1975 just under 35,000 proud Scots booed the Wombles off at half-time in a match v Portugal at Hampden. Scotland won 1-0 thanks to an own goal in the friendly which was part of the Glasgow 800 celebration.

Two died (one a full year) before the election ... eh?!

[Jack D 🏳️‍🌈 @JackDunc1]

The updates re the new Reform councillors have me gripped. 😫

- Some have quit as they didn't realise it was unpaid

- Another has stepped down as he thought he would be in Parliament

- 2 died before the election (one over a year ago)

- And several others can't be traced....

@RealStephenKerr Interested to know what system you would favour? (Agree re flaws in system). Also, do you favour a system change for Westminster?

I have complained about this to the BBC:

Dear BBC Complaints Team,

I am writing to complain about a segment on Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg (@bbclaurak) broadcast on 10 May 2026.

During the interview with Richard Tice (@TiceRichard) of Reform UK, Mr Tice stated that the Green Party is “the anti-Semitic Green party.”

This was a serious accusation.

My concerns:
-No right of reply
No Green Party representative was present to respond. The presenter did not mention that the Green Party had not been given an opportunity to reply.

-Failure to challenge
Laura Kuenssberg did not question, challenge, or provide any context/counterpoint to the claim. She simply moved on.

-Breach of due impartiality
BBC Editorial Guidelines require serious allegations in political contexts to be properly tested and for due weight to be given to opposing views. This did not occur.

The Green Party is led by Zack Polanski (@ZackPolanski), who is Jewish. No context was provided to viewers.

I believe this fell short of the BBC’s standards on fairness and impartiality.

Please investigate and consider a clarification/correction.

Thank you. James

@LeanneSpurs If you work for the NHS and simultaneously vote Reform, you're a disgrace. (Let's not mention your pic looks like AI, just another bot troll.

Independence MSP's

1999 - 36
2003 - 34
2007 - 49
2011 - 71
2016 - 69
2021 - 72
2026 - 73

SNP has won 5 Holyrood elections in a row, Labour had their worst ever election & Tories fell to 4th.
Independence MSP's have been the majority since 2011.
If that's not a mandate what is?

[Alasdair Fraser @AlFrasSport]

@JamesMelville @SimonForrest11 Independence is not about individuals, or the SNP.

@AlexMacLeod9 Wow. Rival football fans gloating at one another. Whatever next?

[Alasdair Fraser @AlFrasSport]

I've been very lucky and privileged to follow Ross County (and Caley Thistle) through some incredible timfor more than 30 years, but this is the lowest I've felt for them. So many experiences and characters in that time. Find it hard to believe they won't be back, but ...

[Alasdair Fraser @AlFrasSport]

@craigmc91 There are people I've known and liked at both local clubs for 30 years. That's all. Couldn't care less if you think they're a community club or not. I'm just talking about decent people who love the club. Said exactly same as ICT turned themselves into a financial laughing stock.

[Alasdair Fraser @AlFrasSport]

No words from me. Just feeling for some good people at Ross County and the years they've put in.

[Alasdair Fraser @AlFrasSport]

@AlexMacLeod9 Definitely cyclical. It always bites back in the end

[Alasdair Fraser @AlFrasSport]

@jak_094 Apology accepted.
