I don’t think Tory MPs should be masquerading as TV News presenters.
We don’t want to go down the toxic US Fox News route with right wing demagogues ranting at the camera.
Media regulator Ofcom knows their rules are being broken by GB News and others. Why won’t they act? https://t.co/3WSRPwfFrn

Depute PM Dowden says @theSNP are "big spenders". Yes, we spend money on mitigating terrible Westminster Tory policies like the bedroom tax. But he doesn't seem to understand the @scotgov operates under a fixed budget. We can't borrow to disguise profligacy like the UK Tories.

"If the circus doesn't stop before Christmas it's all over" a Tory MP has said, reflecting election panic on the Tory backbenches. But out in the real world "People experiencing the Tory mortgage crisis can't wait until Christmas" @MhairiBlack tells the Deputy PM. #PMQs

Oliver Dowden tells @StevenBonnarSNP that North Sea oil is vital for the UK's energy future. Curious, since whenever we talk about independence, Tories tell us that the oil is about to run out... #PMQs

I’ve consistently refused to accept invitations to go on air - unlike some of my Labour & Tory counterparts - to comment on this story. Why? I didn’t believe we had all the facts. Now the ‘Sun’ is distancing itself from its original claims…. https://t.co/4NbcKtPwKg

One hour in and the boss of the UK Betting and Gaming Council finally admits the glaring reality when he says “all gambling products have problems associated with them.” And, as we know, the gambling industry designs in addictive elements to its ‘games’. @CommonsCMS

Very glad I’ve refused all media invitations - and there have been many - to talk about this over the last few days on the grounds that I’d no independently verified detail, no inside knowledge, and don’t think politicians shouldn’t pontificate from a position of ignorance… https://t.co/vi819PgCZu

This is spot on from @MhairiBlack The voting system at Westminster is absurd. A complete, silly, waste of time. Mhairi also describes the way her much needed bill was “talked out”. That happened to my #TuringBill - filibustered by a Tory (now a LibDem) minister. Just to be nasty. https://t.co/wQPs8I4tg0

Thanks to everyone who’s been in touch about this. 1.7 million people have viewed this clip of me cross examining media regulators @Ofcom It’s clear there’s great concern about Tory MPs like Jacob Mogg presenting news shows - a clear breach of Ofcom rules. Time for Ofcom to act. https://t.co/wBq9QcA9xo

Fascinating story: “Mary would change her tone for each recipient, pull at the heart strings of some, assert her status with others. She was not a weak, feeble, tragic heroine. Mary was a political animal, a guileful politician with a weak hand to play.” https://t.co/NFFmQ5OcMT

Kev McKenna lying about me again (now something of a habit.) Again no fact checking. I came out to family / close friends (Mr Clark never amongst them) in my 20s. And in my 30s became the first BBC 1 news presenter to come out publicly, years before 2003 Employment Equality Act. https://t.co/5KTuLbtO7A

Happy #Trans #Pride day: to everyone marching have a wonderful celebration. Although there’s much nastiness (especially online) & abuse out there trans rights are supported by the vast majority - especially young folk. Why? Because they know that #TransRightsAreHumanRights 🏳️⚧️ https://t.co/AhDyAyqQF6

I love sourcing old frames and reusing them. Here’s a wee Glasgow Boy portrait - by James Stuart Park - which I spotted on e bay. He was famous for his flower paintings so this is quite an unusual piece by him. Wooden frame and gilded slip from e bay too! https://t.co/2lVEb8H0bO

A work of fiction. The judges did not find in favour of the LGB Alliance. The judgement is available to read. Judges found that one charity could not appeal against another charity’s status under current law. They castigated the Alliance for its abusive behaviour online. https://t.co/mHLfMRm1hm

I was called as a witness in the case brought by #Mermaids against the so called ‘LGB Alliance.’ Judges have ruled Mermaids don’t have the right to challenge LGBA’s charitable status. But judges were damning about the sinister Alliance and its activities including online abuse. https://t.co/pTQ7clfFYo

For anyone thinking of voting Labour. You do know they’re a hard #Brexit party? You do know that they support the House of Lords which is packed with Labour cronies? You do know they oppose independence and the right of our parliament to hold a referendum? Just checking. https://t.co/ufh9qvgtVQ

Scots booing at Charles & Camilla’s Scottish semi-coronation. Crowds chanted “not my king” as he was presented with (but didn’t wear) the King of Scots’ crown. There was also a new sword replacing the ancient Papal Sword which is fragile - a little like the monarchy in Scotland. https://t.co/GvB2Nya8SQ

Oli Dowden, standing in at #PMQs says he’ll be sorry to see @MhairiBlack leave the Commons. “We came into the House at the same time” he intones “Aye and I suspect we’ll be leaving at the same time” she replies. Even Dowden (who has no plans to retire willingly next year) smiles.

Tories have no credibility talking about “crashing the economy” as the squirming Tory backbenchers attest. However Tory front benchers doing that weird thing only MPs do - nodding their heads furiously like toy dugs on the back shelf of a 1970s Cortina. #PMQs

Happy 75th Birthday @NHSScotland🎉 My Grandma told me about the gnawing pre-NHS worry over how to pay for doctors' visits as her 14 year boy lay dying of leukaemia. And of terrifying home births gone wrong. The #NHS has transformed countless lives & saved countless more. 💕

Setting aside @Ofcom ‘s woefully weak leadership & inability to enforce its own rules on bias & impartiality.
