A girl steals baby formula from a shop and goes to jail.
Michelle Mone steals £200m and nothing happens.
THAT'S two tier justice...

It was terrible Mr Vice President what happened. And lessons will be learned. But here’s a thought - maybe concentrate instead on why 44000 Americans died last year from gun related deaths, and what can be done about your dreadful disease before you start lecturing others

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

The real two-tier scandal in the UK is the relentless double standard approach of a media which lets one party leader get away with financial dodgery that would drive them into a frenzy if it involved someone their billionaire owners didn’t want in power because they believed in things like fairness and equality

[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.

@DrNeilStone Today I had another top up Covid vaccination. I guess it was about my 6th or 7th. I’m 75 years old….still doing OK. BTW, also have had regular flu jags, and shingles, and anything else our brilliant health service in Scotland offers me.

Colin Smyth appeared in court yesterday on serious drink driving charges.
He is currently on bail for possessing indecent images of children. He has separately been charged with placing a camera in the toilets at Holyrood.
The UK's colonial media in Scotland is largely silent.

“Scottish Secretary Douglas Alexander met with Peter Mandelson's lobbying firm to discuss policy within weeks of becoming a minister.”

But Alexander failed to declare the meeting (as he was required to do) for a year and a half.

Why did the BBC describe rioters in Southampton last night as ‘protestors’. They weren’t protestors, they were rioters. Where has the BBC's objectivity gone? Why can't they tell the truth?

Say what?

Seems one rule for Labour politician's & another one for politicians from @theSNP:

[Child of Alba 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @ChildOfAlba]

Funny how the rules shift when it’s their own party as opposed to the SNP. 🤨

[A.M.MacJ @ammacj]

And more evidence of Douglas Alexander’s closeness to Peter Mandelson.👇
I’m looking forward to Scottish media crawling all over this.

Not to mention Dido (Tory mp wife) 'administering' the staffing of £37 BILLION on Track and Not a Trace!

No @bbclaurak the biggest political scandal in recent years is the corrupt Covid contracts not Sturgeon/Murrell, as bad as that is. When are you or anyone else in the media holding Gove/Tories to account?

#bbcbreakfast #bbclaurak

[Annie @toady]

This Pat McFadden lecturing the Scottish electorate on financial probity- not mentioned by #BBCLauraK, of course.

@msm_monitor @Davyjrob67 This sort of thing, maybe…plenty more on here…just look…

[🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💙Simon Wheeler @simondowser]

@msm_monitor BBC News rolling out the sour Cherry again on bulletins this evening is so predictable…and deeply offensive.

[indy swim 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @indy_swim]

I don’t remember Carrie Johnson being mobbed by the media over Partygate, or Martha Hancock over Matt Hancock’s affair, or Elizabeth Aitken being blamed for Jonathan Aitken’s perjury?

@BarryHunt008 @FurnessColin Non-paywall version of this outstanding Opinion piece
can be read here. Applies just as much for the ebola epidemic.
