Radio Scotland Breakfast tried to spike the positive news about GP walk in clinics this morning. The pilot may not reach the hoped for targets. Time will tell. But BBC Scotland tried to frame it as a failure before the pilot has completed. gov.scot/news/more-pati…

Michael Marra has thrown his hat into the ring to replace Anas Sarwar as branch manager. Just a reminder that Marra supported Rachel Reeves when she cut the pensioners winter fuel payment amongst other things.

Criticism of the UK Govt by the Moorland Association following the massive wildfire in Derbyshire hasn't resulted in major headlines on the BBC or political attacks on Burnham's Govt. Wildfires are only political when they can be used to attack the SNP.

For weeks on Tintwistle Moor, our gamekeepers and estate staff have fought this wildfire beside local fire crews. Their spirit has been remarkable. So has their anger. The fire services value what the keepers bring: local knowledge, stamina and experience. The local community is

Contrary to popular belief, the RAF does have aerial firefighting capability. The problem is that the helicopters are based in Cyprus so can't assist with UK wildfires. This is why BBC Scotland reporters were careful to say equipment "wasn't available" and not "didn't exist".

BBC Scotland began politicising the Cairngorms wildfire on Sunday when Gary Robertson parroted a Scottish Tory attack line that included an outrageous demand for Holyrood to be recalled. BBC Scotland could have shut down the politicking but chose instead to ramp it up. We now have half-truths and disinformation being circulated by both the BBC and BritNats.

Wildfires in the UK have been increasing in the UK for years, yet @GOVUK claims to have no aerial water-bomb capability: x.com/scotgov/status… The once mighty UK is now an international joke, can't even provide aerial equipment to fight domestic wild fires.

That the Army doesn't possess aerial waterbombing capability to deal with wildfires should be major news. But it isn't. How did we get to the situation where the Scottish Govt seeking confirmation of this extraordinary situation is framed as politicking by a BBC presenter?

As yesterday's fascist behaviour in Glasgow demonstrates, 'muscular unionism' is becoming a serious threat to Scotland's social fabric: x.com/SimonForrest11… Fascist organisations are allowed to display blatant anti-Catholic bigotry with impunity & immigrants live in fear.

Scotland needs to have an honest open discussion about 'muscular unionism'. Scots now face a huge threat from extreme British Unionism. Over the last decade it has grown & become more organised, threatening & violent. Indications are that it is aided & abetted by dark money from

@itvnews gives news on three fires in the UK. The only one to get criticism is the one in Scotland. The fire in england has been burning for a month, and not a politician to be seen. As our @ScotGovFM is on the scene in the cairngorms, the english team are away on their holidays.

The Derbyshire wildfire was declared a major incident 13 days ago. No military assistance has been sought by the UK Govt. The smaller Cairngorms wildfire was declared a major incident 2 days ago. The Scottish Govt has been attacked for not seeking military assistance sooner.

So the Brit Nat press are in full anti Scottish mode (as usual) What they are not saying is that in the last 10 years Westminster has cut fire service budgets by 40% in real terms.. So Scotlands funding has also been cut through the Barnet formula! These idiots voted for this!

Polite request to @BBCPolitics. Is this fair? To allow people I’ve been investigating like Banks & Phillips, below, a platform to slag me off on air? Without revealing she worked for Cambridge Analytica - who I exposed. Or asking her anything about it?
