@BBCScotlandNews Why did BBC Reporting Scotland ignore this news and instead, yet again, promoted Anas Sarwar. https://t.co/7CBLoi3ldZ

[A.M.MacJ @ammacj]

So this junk story from The Sun, desperately promoted by BBC Scotland, 👇has now already been thrown out by Police Scotland

Scottish poll on independence referendum👇
Ipsos, 22-29 May (1028)

When next indyref?
30% 1-2 years
48% within 5 years
22% never

Only 1 in 5 say ‘never’ another indyref.
UK Government undemocratic stance is massively against views of Scotland.

[MSM Monitor @msm_monitor]

Potential serious misconduct by Douglas Alexander is not getting the news coverage it merits. This is big folks.

Atrociously misleading wording from Laura Goodwin. John Swinney didn't admit anything, the FM revealed that the SNP had *pro-actively* contacted HMRC to check VAT claims hadn't been made against Murrell's fake purchases.

This is unethical and embarrassing from Goodwin. It comes on the same day Andrew Kerr asked if the Scottish Greens were the "SNP's little helpers". Are these people really unaware how juvenile and tawdry this is? Have they no professional respect?

[MSM Monitor @msm_monitor]

Reporting Scotland covered today's FMQ's by erasing the first and third questioners. The programme chose Sarwar and Findlay because it wanted to keep the Murrell attacks going. This is corruption.

The BBC is supposed to accurately report what happens in our parliament's main set piece, not manipulate coverage to create the false narrative it craves.

Moreover, this is now two weeks in succession that Anas Sarwar has led FMQ's news items. This is bias.

BBC ... Blatant Bias & Corruption #BlatantBiasCorruption

[MSM Monitor @msm_monitor]

Police Scotland has confirmed it won't be investigating the SNP Indyref fund after a fresh complaint because it's "already been investigated" as part of Branchform.

@paulhutcheon Try this on for size? Scots voted on May 7th without the crucial knowledge of the corruption and illegality of unionist politicians because journalists in Scotland have no interest in balanced reporting.

[Lozza @LMillar18]

@FrazJackson He did not confirm this. This is a total lie. Facts matter. John confirmed that the SNP had themselves contacted HMRC. He did not mention they were being investigated

[Jackie M Mackay🇮🇪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @JackieMackay17]

My FM ..John Swinney is on fire 🔥👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻#fmq

[PT for indy @TelferPaula]

Received email from SNP, which goes into full depth the measures put in place since Murrel embezzlement, from thier own internal investigation thats been ongoing since Murrell arrest. I am now reassured with the measures in place to ensure this will never happen again. @theSNP

[Thomas P Robinson @TPRSCOT]

@paulhutcheon Hutcheon: better start grubbing around for fake “new” information😇

[MSM Monitor @msm_monitor]

In the event BBC Scotland presenters start to throw stones at the SNP for possibly claiming VAT on purchases by Peter Murrell now known to be fake.

Around 100 current and former BBC presenters are being investigated for alleged tax avoidance.

@HolyroodDaily @AnasSarwar Sarwar lying once more at #fmqs.
He’s lied about these:
. QEUH
. Scottish NHS
. Glasgow fire and SFRS
. Grangemouth
. Energy bills
. WASPI
. neonatal units
Why haven’t Labour sacked him?

[A.M.MacJ @ammacj]

@ruth_wishart Nonsense.
No remit.
Internal party matter now.
Police have done their part.

[Staples @Staples1955]

@ruth_wishart You don't really imagine that the opposition parties will conduct a fair, objective, impartial and apolitical enquiry and seek to provide a constructive "lessons learned" narrative that will act as future guidance for all parties?

[MSM Monitor @msm_monitor]

The BBC Scotland twitter-X feed has posted Anas Sarwar's FMQ's question first despite Malcolm Offord having the first question. Clear evidence that the BBC is manipulating its coverage of FMQ's to give a false impression of the proceedings.

@BBCScotlandNews

[A.M.MacJ @ammacj]

BBC Scotland like to report stories on ‘secrecy’ or ‘transparency’, particularly Scottish Government.
But why don’t BBC be ‘transparent’ themselves?
Here are some questions on BBC Scotland’s own ‘secrecy’?👇
Will they change?

[MSM Monitor @msm_monitor]

Oh dear. BBC Scotland has concealed the fact that it was the *SNP itself* that contacted HMRC. The headline invites the reader to infer otherwise. For people whose profession it is to ensure accuracy when reporting, this can only be deliberate.

[MSM Monitor @msm_monitor]

FMQ's is in 30 minutes. This article appeared on the BBC BritNat page in the last hour. It's no coincidence.

This is a station that refused to report a court case yesterday involving an ex-high profile Scottish Labour MSP, yet it will churn out a conveyor belt of tabloid propaganda articles in order to undermine the SNP.
