This isn't about journalists being snubbed, the problem is that the issues that we know matter to the public in Scotland cannot be put to the people who are now in charge of us. He is snubbing YOU
It doesn't really square with Burnham's curated man of the people image, does it?
NEW: Andy Burnham is in Scotland today for the first time since becoming PM
Just like we have seen with the UK Gov time and time again, Scottish media has been blocked from access. No change there.
🚫 No transparency
🚫 No scrutiny

This man murdered Chloe Devey Waterhouse by stabbing her. Headline glorifies him as a maths graduate while reducing her to the ‘sweetheart’ of a violent man who didn’t love her. Chloe held a first-class maths degree and a Master’s in statistics.
“My daddy who shot for Oxford you know had to have his pistols put in a locked box because of one wee murder in Scotland.” He is referring to the mass murder of 16 five year olds and a teacher.
BritNat Breakfast presenter Sarah McMullan has said that Yes Scotland was "A company set up by the SNP".
Yes Scotland was a collaboration of pro-Indy parties. It's first two directors in the controlling company Yes Scotland Ltd, were Scott Martin, a lawyer for the SNP, and Blair Jenkins who wasn't an SNP member.
We are witnessing BBC BritNat messaging in play as police probe a complaint made against Yes Scotland. The intention is to link the probe to the SNP.
Indeed the BBC article about the story claims the company behind Yes Scotland was set up by Alex Salmond. It wasn't. The article also links the Yes Scotland probe to the Peter Murrell case. Neither are linked.
This is crude propaganda from a station now notorious for such.
#2026WorldCup — David Beckham is watching the Scotland vs Brazil match from the stands with a glass of wine.
One of the clearest examples of football being taken away from the working class and handed over to the wealthy.
We’ve learnt some bad news that Donny Strathie passed away in Boston on Sunday. He had a ticket for the Morocco game, but never got the chance to realize his World Cup dream.
It would mean a lot to his family if we could organise a minutes applause in the 76th minute of the Morocco game.

Evil is real in this world, however it never overtakes the good. If you look closer you see there ARE decent people who rise up & show what we all should be. There were those in Belfast who witnessed the worst of humanity, this woman amongst others reminded them of the best 🙏🏼
Imagine if someone with a red car committed a terrible crime and mobs started torching the homes of everyone with a red car.
The racist mindset.
In a nutshell.
She fled her home.
She saved her nurse’s uniform.
Not her jewellery. Not possessions. Her uniform because she wanted to keep caring for people.
That tells you everything about her.
This is the Britain I believe in: one that values compassion, courage and those who contribute to our communities.
"30 women were murdered… not one road was closed, not one protest. What was the connection? They were murdered by white locals."
Belfast resident Mark gives @BenKentish a stark picture of the riots unfolding in his city.
When 4 Jewish Ambulances were burnt out. Starmer & every MP was all over the Media. Cobra Meetings called, visited site etc. Monies given to Jeiwsh Commuinty
Last night families were burnt out of their homes and attacked by racists. Where is the same response
😏
More women are killed by femicide in Northern Ireland by white men than any other race or nationality.
Where are the riots for that?

I'm a cardiologist. A 42-year-old mother of two came to my office complaining of jaw pain and crushing fatigue. She ran half-marathons. Her EKG was normal. Another doctor had sent her home with anxiety medication.
When I got her into the cath lab, I found severe microvascular disease — plaque choking the tiniest vessels of her heart, the ones standard angiograms routinely miss.
Her heart had been starving in silence while everyone told her she was stressed.
She is alive today. Too many women like her are not.
Heart disease kills more women than every cancer combined. And medicine is still diagnosing it through a male lens.
84% of cardiologists report having patients in the past year whose heart disease was misdiagnosed by another physician. Women with a STEMI heart attack have a 59% greater chance of being misdiagnosed compared to men. Women with an NSTEMI — 41% greater chance.
The reason is structural. For decades, we screened, tested, and treated women using a template built for men.
Men's heart attacks announce themselves — the crushing chest pain, the clutched fist, the Hollywood collapse. Women's hearts whisper. Crushing fatigue that feels like wearing a lead vest. Jaw pain written off as TMJ. Nausea blamed on a stomach bug. An ache between the shoulder blades blamed on a long week. Shortness of breath blamed on being out of shape.
For years, medicine called these "atypical" symptoms. They are not atypical. They are female-typical. Half of humanity is not a variant.
And the biology runs deeper than symptoms.
Women have smaller hearts and narrower coronary arteries. Plaque doesn't only clog the big highway vessels — it hides in the microvasculature, the tiny branches feeding the heart muscle itself. A woman can have a heart attack with a completely "clean" standard angiogram.
SCAD — spontaneous coronary artery dissection — occurs 90% of the time in women. Often young, fit women with zero traditional risk factors. It's the leading cause of heart attack in women under 50, accounting for roughly one quarter of all cases in that age group. Most doctors have never diagnosed one.
And some of the most dangerous cardiac risk factors are hidden in women's medical histories where no one thinks to look:
Preeclampsia or gestational hypertension doubles to quadruples lifetime heart disease and stroke risk. Pregnancy is the body's first cardiac stress test — and these complications are early warning sirens, not closed chapters.
Autoimmune disease — lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis — far more common in women, turbocharges inflammation and plaque formation at any age.
Cardiovascular disease in women aged 20-44 is projected to surge nearly 50% by 2050.
The youngest patients in my practice keep getting younger.
What every woman should ask her doctor — and what every doctor should be asking:
"Given my pregnancy history, autoimmune status, and family history — what is my full cardiovascular risk?" If they don't ask about preeclampsia or gestational diabetes, volunteer it.
"Should I have an Lp(a) test and a coronary calcium score?" Standard cholesterol panels miss too much. Lp(a) is genetic, one-time, and most women have never been tested.
"My tests came back normal but my symptoms haven't stopped — what's next?" Normal stress tests and angiograms can miss microvascular disease, spasm, and SCAD. Persistent symptoms warrant coronary CT angiography or cardiac MRI.
And if something feels wrong — say these exact words to your doctor: "I am concerned this could be my heart."
That single sentence changes the workup. Do not soften it. Do not apologize for it.
80% of heart disease is preventable. But the playbook has to be built for female biology.
Two decades ago, I wrote one of the first books warning that heart disease was the number one killer of women and that medicine was diagnosing it through a male lens. It was recognized by First Lady Laura Bush at the White House during the early years of the national conversation about women's heart health.
I'm haunted by how much of that book I could republish today unchanged.
The science has advanced. The awareness has grown. But the gap between what we know and what happens in the exam room is still costing women their lives.
Share this with every woman you love — and every doctor who treats them. READ MORE: https://t.co/4LRugiY8q2
These comments are a threat of genocide, plain and simple. The US President must not act in this way.
What the world needs is the courage of diplomacy and the wisdom of de-escalation.
The UK Labour Government must act now to ensure that de-escalation takes place.
7 hours of silence from the Prime Minister.
The US is using UK bases. The President is openly talking about destroying a civilisation.
And Downing Street says... nothing.
If you won’t speak up now, when will you?
It's now been 3 hours since our supposed "ally" Donald Trump threatened genocide on a country of 93 million people.
We've had absolutely nothing from the UK government.
This doesn't come in a vacuum either - every day the US & Israel have been murdering innocent people.
