There was huge interest in stories @Daily_Record published on @youricefactor and @Snow_Factor - and the way director Jamie Smith treated staff at the end.. His IPSO complaint was not upheld: ipso.co.uk/rulings/00514-25/

The @Daily_Record doing an important job in exposing these far-right agitators who are causing fear and division within our society.
These individuals are not patriots, they are thugs. We can either make excuses for them or call them out and take them on.
I choose the latter.
An infamous football thug and a far-right blogger are accused of helping form a sinister "street army". #scotpapers

Scandalous that the @BBCR1 Big Weekend is being targeted by ticket touts and exploitative offshore resale sites like viagogo and StubHub.
The Government promised to outlaw these pirates almost 6 months ago.

Simple - sell them yourselves, make them not transferrable and avoid the big leech marketing companies who simply add cost and corruption. We are along the lane from you, if ever you fancy a natter :)

Reports in @BristolLive claim that tickets for the sold-out @LewisCapaldi tour are still available on websites like StubHub, Viagogo and Vivid Seats.

That’s because those websites are swamped with speculative listings from touts…
AVOID!!

Couldn’t get @LewisCapaldi tickets?
A single StubHub seller - based in Cyprus - is listing *306* standing tickets for the opening night in Sheffield.
He’s also listing on viagogo.
These offshore platforms are complicit in illegal activities.
They should be shut down.
When's this "government crackdown" on touts coming? Shouldn't any crackdown start with rogue sites that profit massively from ticket crime?

Hats off to @Daily_Record @markhmcgivern who highlighted viagogo’s endemic “intefraud problem in December last year.
A front page story, evidenced by extensive research from @FanFairAlliance - but zero action by @CMAgovUK.
Viagogo should have been closed down for this.
Extraordinary that an arrest was made as programme prepared to air, given no action had been taken for decades (presumably on the same evidence)

I was saddened greatly at news of the passing of Peter Krykant. He was, undeniably, a very powerful voice in the Scottish drugs debate - and he emphatically won his argument. RIP Peter dailyrecord.co.uk/news/peter…
This is a 70-year-old woman, a first offender - and she's getting 14 months in jail for benefit fraud (which I don't condone). Bonkers, horrific.. given what millionaires get for fraud. She's a 70 year old woman! dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scott…

This is an important step forward, that will help prevent fatal overdose - not the only step to be taken - but one based on worldwide evidence @markhmcgivern @Daily_Record have continued to shine a light on life saving services that reduce harm and promote recovery
The opening of the UK’s first safer drugs consumption room will be a “significant step forward” in efforts to tackle Scotland’s drug problem, John Swinney has said.

A resale price cap and a restriction on volume numbers would be massive. Government should refuse to be swayed by Viagogo's defence of touts - or Ticketmaster's defence of 'dynamic pricing', which also gouges fans @FanFairAlliance
