What the messages reveal is this: even after the full extent of the #Mandelson#Epstein relationship was exposed & Mandelson was sacked Labour cabinet minister Darren Jones was sending the ex ambassador obsequious private messages.
So much for the public contrition.
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.
@Neilsocialist Labour won the UK GE 2024 on 33.7% of the vote, they called it a landslide. Also the voting system for Holyrood was chosen by Labour to ensure there would never be a nationalist majority. You are reduced to carping from the side-lines Neil & looking very foolish with it.
Timely reminder of how the BBC used public cash.
The BBC has set aside up to £12m to pay off the past tax liabilities of BBC presenters being pursued by HMRC for tax avoidance using personal service companies, the latest BBC annual report has revealed.

The IDF has been accused of horrific war crimes in Gaza by the UN Human Rights Council & Amnesty International.
It is just common sense that those involved in war crimes should be held to account.
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
Transparency should apply to those reporting TV news just as much as those they base their reporting on. In a country split 50/50 on indy time to find out if BBC reporters (as with Paul Hutcheon Daily Record etc) are pushing a pro-Labour agenda in Scotland https://t.co/eDRWRIuOYH
"NHS staff could be barred from wearing.. pro Palestinian symbols on their uniforms.. [this] is one of several recommendations in a review into antisemitism.. within the NHS"
This isnt about tackling antisemitism. Its about cracking down on any display of support 4 Palestinians
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.

It is deeply wrong that Scotland cannot decide for itself whether to hold a referendum on its future.
Decisions about Scotland should be made by the people who live here, not imposed by Westminster politicians.
Mhairi Black says she's angry at Peter Murrell - but feels frustrated that other scandals with millions of pounds of public money 'haven't received anywhere near the same level of scrutiny'
