Scotland needs a strong voice. Without it Keir Starmer will ignore us just as he ignores his Scottish branch manager. Don't weaken that voice. Strengthen it.
#VoteSNP
BBC Scotland has been found guilty of misleading the public after claiming "In most UK elections, Scottish votes have been crucial to deciding who takes power." The ruling was published on the day of the general election, six months after the broadcast.

BBC Scotland News hasn't tweeted the news that inward investment to Scotland last year hit a record high and was double the pace of the UK. Why? Because there's no article to tweet. The story is being suppressed. That's how it operates. We may get a token article later.
Bob MacIntyre wins the Scottish Open in stunning fashion. Two behind with three holes to play and he produces an eagle on the 16th and a birdie on the last to win by one. Shocking that this wasn't covered by BBC Scotland in any form.
As always the Daily Record presents this as if Scotgov is entirely in control of how much capital funding is available. Leaving out a 10% cut to capital grant and 62% cut to financial transactions funding for affordable housing. UK Gov can reverse this.
"join"? Perhaps if the BBC had paid more attention back when The SNP were leading opposition to the two child limit and the rape clause in 2015, and regularly calling to scrap it for the past nine years, perhaps we wouldn't still have to be fighting against it now. 🙄
That headline is not true. You know it is not true, we know it is not true. So, why do it? The SNP has opposed the two child benefit since it was introduced.
If other parties are now doing likewise by opposing then I welcome them joining the campaign.
Reporting Scotland refused to cover three Scottish Govt funding announcements this week for carbon capture, electric cars and the NHS, but managed to find time to do a lengthy promo piece for Nigel Farage's Reform party. Sounds like a joke, but it really happened.
Ofcom has found that the BBC News "is seen by some as representing a white, middle class and London-centric point of view that is not relevant to their lives."
Scots no longer believe that the BBC reflects "people like them" with the net score. down from +26% last year to +17%.
We highlight this as an example of the corruption that the SNP should be calling out. Anas Sarwar has not called for the two child cap to be abolished. If he had then it would be a major U-turn.
The fact you haven't seen any 'Sarwar U-turns' headlines is because he hasn't
So, please correct me if I am wrong, but the 'change' that #Labour promised in their election campaign was from #Tory austerity to an even harsher Labour austerity? Oh, & instead of those with the broader shoulders bearing the brunt, they choose to target children & pensioners!
What's the coldest place in the UK? Scotland.
Who generates the most energy per capita? Scotland. Where does it go? England.
Who pays the most for said energy? Scots.
Who just slashed winter fuel payments that will disproportionately affect Scottish pensioners?
"Labour".
BBC Scotland will manage news in order to change the narrative. This intro is classic manipulation. It immediately invites the viewer to blame the Scottish Govt for uncertainty and with a threat to means test the winter fuel payment. The Scottish Govt is the bad guy from the off.
The BBC has refused to publish a correction despite admitting that GMS presenter Laura Maxwell was wrong when she told listeners that Anas Sarwar had said there could be a separate Scottish immigration system.
Sarwar had, one day earlier, ruled the idea out when asked by Martin
Anas Sarwar is being protected and being treated as the FM in waiting by BBC Scotland. He's fielding no questions on anything and appearing in news bulletins in slots reserved for the FM or the leader of the main opposition. He's neither. It's incredible what's going on.
What the English State and their Quislings in Scotland don't want you to know is that an independent Scotland will have one of the strongest economies in Europe. Energy, Water, Farming, Fishing, Alcohol, Ship building, Construction... All economic sectors will be fully under
