What's this? It's live BBC coverage of the European Athletics Championship from Birmingham. Yes, the same BBC that couldn't afford live coverage of the Glasgow Commonwealth Games. Let that sink in.

Amazing stuff. Westminster control the licensing, exploration, production, transport and taxation of off-shore oil and gas and also set the net zero targets through the Climate Change Act 2008 & the Climate Change Committee but apparently the SNP destroyed the North Sea industry.

[Bill Cruickshank @BjCruickshank]

To the current leadership of my long term party @theSNP 1. If we continue down the route of meekly complying with Westminster rules, we will get nowhere. 2. If we accept that an international route to independence exists, we will enhance our cause: https://t.co/R7HoyfPcB2

Will she be hounded for the actions of her husband?

[Martin MacDonald @Innealadair]

Andrew ranting on that it's all the SNP's fault BP are selling up. The only fly in the ointment is that Westminster controls all offshore licensing, exploration, production and taxation and also legislated for and set the UK wide net zero target under the Climate Change Act 2008.

@BBCScotlandNews SNP MP Kirsty Blackman said:
“This was a scandal of unparalleled proportions and it is simply not good enough for Joani Reid to be readmitted to the Labour Party with no reassurance given to the public on the national security of these islands.

Andrew knows that Scotland’s oil & gas has only ever been controlled by his beloved Westminster.

Every drop. Every pound.

From day one.

Rather than blame those who have never had any direct control - he should accept that his Union continues to fail Aberdeen and Scotland.

Jodrell Bank is the most visible causality of UKRI’s short sighted ‘vision’ for science, but as you’ll see below, there are many other valuable UK facilities and collaborations at risk. We became aware of the problem in the autumn of last year. It is not a result of the overall funding settlement for science after the spending review, which was quite generous I would say in the circumstances. Neither as far as we can tell is it a direct decision by ministers (all of whom have now gone in any case). Rather the problems appears to have been caused by senior management at UKRI focusing on short term economic ‘impact’ (whatever that means) rather than doing their job as custodians of the foundations of science. What must happen now is that the new ministerial team make the time (and space ;-)) to review the upcoming catastrophe, and instruct UKRI to do their job and focus on making Britain the best place in the world to do science, now and in the future.

To put the £2.8 million Jodrell Bank budget in context, £7.2 million is currently allocated for “bespoke stationery” for MPs.

In 2013 BBC Scotland reporter Glenn Campbell claimed Luxembourg opposed Scottish independence. The Luxembourg embassy subsequently issued a letter of complaint about Campbell's claim. The complaint was never reported by BBC Scotland. The BBC refused to confirm receipt of the letter - https://t.co/PrABwrFvta

[William Brown @Brown666W]

What is it about this story that @BBCScotlandNews doesn’t think is worthy of inclusion on its Sunday show. Is this another example of a story damaging for English Labour and the union that is quickly disappeared?

[Daniel Lismore @daniellismore]

In Thatchers own words “privatisation of the energy industry will make us the envy of Europe” Thanks Margaret, you made a few people very rich and the rest of us much poorer.

We were all puzzled when you demanded Starmer resign

We’re not so puzzled now, you devious, hypocritical cunt

Anas Sarwar has not ‘entered the Lords’ like someone enters Morrisons looking for a cheese sandwich.
He chased an unelected role at WM just to wield political power without ever having to face the ungrateful sods of the Scottish electorate again.

You don't go to someone else's country & tell the 60+ leader country that a democratic vote on his country's democracy is "off limits": https://t.co/UGpTqQRYG9 @JohnSwinney is not some 7 year old child to be told he is "off limits". Talk about disrespecting an entire nation.

[Lloyd Melville MSP @LloydAMelville]

🔴 Four years ago, Anas Sarwar promised to abolish the House of Lords.

🏛️ Today, after losing in Scotland, he’s heading there himself.

🎖️ Labour promised change. Instead, it’s the same old politics: failure rewarded with a job for life.

[Lesley Riddoch @LesleyRiddoch]

Anas quitting ScotLab confirms old suspicions. In the branch office, promotion to head office is the stuff of dreams. Holyrood is always the lesser gig. Joining the world’s 2nd largest unelected chamber is always unproblematic. Rotten legacy for new leader

Change of Prime Minister, but Labour Ministers still steeped in corruption: https://t.co/52X42TG7Hg Same old, same old. Scotland needs out @JohnSwinney

[BELLA CALEDONIA @bellacaledonia]

Just constant lies and grift. I get that people are against independence but aren't you all just ashamed?
