@PaulbernalUK I am also profoundly disturbed by the nature, means and consequences of this attack by alteration of medical equipment. If it is not already a war crime, then it should be.

[Martin Cymbal💚 @cymbal_martin]

Agree. It requires a clear out and let's have some impartiality and honesty restored. "Here's my starter for ten" #Gibb #McAndrew #turness #Davey #Kuenssberg #Robinson #Mason #Coburn #Bruce #Watts #Young #Vine half the editors and 100% of those responsible for booking guests on @BBCNews @BBCPolitics specifically #PoliticsLive @BBCNewsnight and @bbcquestiontime

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

It is absurd that Gibb is still at the BBC.

[William Dalrymple @DalrympleWill]

Just to put this out there with clarity: Robbie Gibb, who is responsible for turning the disgraced JC into a right-wing Pro-Netanyahu propaganda rag, is one of five people - including the Director General - on the @BBCNews editorial guidelines and standards committee. It’s on the BBC website.

Minutes of the last meeting show they discussed complaints about Israel/Gaza. Quite apart from the fact he is not remotely impartial on the Middle East, how can the owner of a paper with such poor journalistic standards have a role over the BBC’s?

Robbie Gibb gets to censor the BBC's Middle East coverage. He needs to resign today.

Prime Minister's Questions: SNP's Pete Wishart asks a question to Keir Starmer. Keir Starmer stands up & says "I remember when there were lots of you, now there are only nine" (to cheering chamber of commons). Keir Starmer sits down again.
Indy supporters at the heart of UK Govt

[John Bryden @jmbryden08]

Quite correct Fraser. This nonsense must be stopped.

[Lesley Riddoch @LesleyRiddoch]

Wow. Epic storytelling. And not a fact/figure in sight. Sure - that must come. But the power of story through film is something the SNP/ indy movement must embrace.

[John Bryden @jmbryden08]

@LesleyRiddoch I am with you Lesley. I will not work to free scotland for the benefit of inhumane actions!

[John Bryden @jmbryden08]

@jimac111 You are always welcome here!

George Monbiot - "We should never underestimate the extent to which the BBC changed this country by giving endless airtime to Nigel Farage, other far right extremists and the Tufton Street junktanks, while shutting out progressive voices."

[Luke Warm Dave @DaveLukewarm]

“I think we need to reflect on the fact it was Nicola Sturgeon who led the party to eight electoral victories.” -

That there is the problem. The SNP saw election wins and power as their raison d'être, not independence. The last 10 years became nothing more than a pantomime against the evil Tories. Playing the plucky loser just isn't going to cut it anymore.

[Yanis Varoufakis @yanisvaroufakis]

The same Tony who let the City go berserk, who started the disastrous NHS privatisation from within; the war criminal who violated international law & the UN charter - yes, this same Tony is now recommending racism-lite as a bulwark against... racism! https://t.co/eWZlCWWtbr

next time be sure to use a proxy. postage times are hopeless these days!

[Dr Dan Goyal @danielgoyal]

I trust the SNP with the NHS

I trust that my patients still won’t have to worry about prescription charges

I trust that my kids won’t have to worry about leaving University with lots of debt

I trust the SNP to stand up for what’s right in Westminster

Vote SNP in Scotland!

@Jacob_oberg_EU @LinguaLexy @CR_OBrien Its disgraceful. There will certainly be reciprocal moves in some EU member states if this is carried out.
