The BBC has been sitting on the Alister Jack betting story for weeks. Jack boasted weeks ago to the BBC's Political & Investigations Correspondent Joe Pike that he had won £2100 betting on a July election. Why is it only emerging now? What is going on here? Even this Reporting Scotland item is weird. It's as though they don't really want to dig into it and want to accept his excuse that it's a joke. If the Secretary of State for Scotland tells you he's won £2100 on a series of bets on a July election, it's a major scoop. You run it. You don't go back and ask him if it's really true in the middle of a betting scandal. You headline it and then allow him to either confirm or deny it.

Two things here. 1. Why is there so little coverage on BBC Scotland of the Ross expenses scandal? 2. If the Ross decision will impact Sunak's UK-wide campaign why isn't the Vaughan Gething scandal impacting the Starmer UK-wide campaign?

On the day the iPad story broke, BBC Scotland sent reporter Lisa Summers to confront Michael Matheson. She obtained comments from him that BBC Scotland later used against him. BBC Scotland is now refusing to confront Douglas Ross over his expenses. Why two different approaches?

Contrast BBC Scotland's lack of interest in the Douglas Ross expenses scandal with it's over the top tabloid coverage of Michael Matheson's iPad bill. There's a very clear and obvious difference in editorial policy at the station that protects Unionists and targets the SNP.

BREAKING BBC Scotland's 'Ross resignation' article has been amended to remove a reference to the expenses story and replace it with a reference to David Duguid. The original version contained a reference to the expenses story in its introduction. It was hastily replaced.

There's a systematic blackout at BBC Scotland of stories that damage Labour. Almost nothing negative is being reported. Candidates from England parachuted into Scottish constituencies. Ignored. The lies about GB Energy. Ignored. The hypocrisy with Vaughan Gething. Ignored.

The Vaughan Gething story illustrates perfectly what BBC Scotland is. It's a fake. It's no more a Scottish broadcaster than Scottish Labour or the Scottish Tories are actual parties. None of the three are real. They are limbs of the same British establishment body. BBC Scotland won't highlight and pursue Labour hypocrisy over the Gething story because it can't. It would be akin to someone deliberately taking an axe to their own arm. Any reporter attempting to expose Labour hypocrisy would be treated as a harmful infection and cut out. The three limbs are there for one purpose. To attack the SNP and prevent independence. Labour can behave in any way it wants in England and Wales. BBC Scotland has no interest beyond Scotland. It's why lies about GB Energy, the Gething hypocrisy and Streeting's private sector plans for the NHS are all but ignored.

This clip of Anas Sarwar lying about GB Energy won't ever be shown on BBC Scotland and is unlikely to be shown by STV. To show it means exposing Sarwar as someone who either doesn't know what he's talking about, or who does but just lies anyway.

Good Morning Scotland promoted two political lies this morning. 1. Labour needs to win in Scotland to secure a majority. [They don't] 2. John Swinney is defending Michael Matheson. [He isn't] They did it by allowing a newspaper journalist to state both as true without challenge. This happens regularly. It'll happen again and again throughout this election campaign. The SNP will be negatively impacted every time.
