1637946909385019392 | @BBCScotNine Except Ash did raise questions privately at the beginning of March, and was ignored. These people are lying. https://t.co/XQcend98lM | 28 |
1638087534272978952 | The UK gov has held back Scotlandβs pumped storage hydro for decades via @ofgem . Where are the contracts for difference this tech needs? It can even out supply when the wind not blowing @BBCScotNine - you should have asked pro-nuclear analystβ Kathryn Porter about it. https://t.co/3WSss4vgfs | 24 |
1637938177548615685 | @BBCScotNine @JoeFitzSNP Its not mi-voices integrity thats in question. Its entirely disingenuous to use such as a smokescreen. Its the data used for the vote, supplied by Peter Murrell thats at issue. Crap in, crap out - its as simple as that. | 17 |
1637943569724895235 | @BBCScotNine @WingsScotland Therefore all candidates have not been treated equally, voters are being misled. This really stinks worse than spring muck-spreading! | 15 |
1639015798634102784 | Our Head of Scotland @Polly_Trussell on @BBCScotNine talking about the rising need for #foodbanks across Scotland. Weβre seeing record levels of need across our network. Itβs time for Govt at all levels to act to ensure no one needs to turn to charity to afford the essentials. https://t.co/UH8Y65K0VF | 11 |
1637949466924703746 | @BBCScotNine Why is @alisonthewliss being allowed to lie again? We know ash sent letters at the beginning of March to the national secretary | 11 |
1638085365327093760 | @BBCJamesCook @Ianblackford_MP @SSE Wonβt get built without contracts for difference from the UK government- they make it much more lucrative to build interconnectors to France. Why not have this on your show @BBCScotNine instead of dodgy pro nuke plants? | 10 |
1637949804151033856 | @BBCScotNine The SNP has changed dramatically in the last week and it will impact on people who've already voted, all votes should be nulled, peoples opinions will have changed since Saturday It's a complete farce now, wide open to abuse, fingers will be pointed claiming fix if its not done | 8 |
1637962729020350465 | @BBCScotNine @indyscotnews So Lorna Finn was talking shite in her email then? https://t.co/L5tKqn1DSO | 7 |
1638085504448049154 | @BBCScotNine At the beginning though nobody knew about the alleged extra 6k ballots though. Nor allegations that non members were also receiving them! Plus the SNP bias towards Humza is a bit suspect. | 6 |
