New evidence of the Murdoch organisation using criminal means to spy on politicians for commercial ends. Nick Davies tells Lionel Barber and me what he’s discovered on the latest episode of Media Confidential mediaconfidential.lnk.to/podcast

It would once have been a sackable offence for any journalist to embarrass his editor by getting a story as badly wrong as ‘John Paul Breslin’ has done here. But there again not sure the Mail+ has a reputation to lose. And of course Scottish Conservatives rent-a-gobs are shameless.

A very good question. 👇

If a movement of cash is marked in your accounts as a dividend, it's agreed and signed off by your board as a dividend, agreed and signed off by your external auditors as a dividend, IT'S A DIVIDEND!

5 months later @ofwat still trying to work it out. 🤔

Feargal Sharkey Ofwat That one seems pretty straightforward but the language around finances can be kinda slippery, perhaps especially for water companies. Sound on for music by Suno (AI).

The speed with which this disinformation spread shows just how desperate the UK unionists are.

This was a very serious question about a senior UK politician getting death threats through groups set up and promoted by Tory staffers. The PM didn't even bother to give it a proper response. He pledged to stand up to extremists - but apparently not if they're in his own party.

Sending the first 300 migrants to Rwanda costs £1.8m each. To put that in context, school funding is around £7,600 per child per year. So the cost of sending one migrant to Rwanda would get 234 children education for a year. Is that a good use of money?

'MSPs vote for full compensation for Waspi women - but Labour abstain This, along with the fact Labour took Glasgow women to court over equal pay should make Labour unelectable in Scotland. Labour cannot be trusted to stand up for women’s rights.' James Campbell

Shocking from the Labour Party.
From a promise of 58 billion pounds compensation to right an injustice to zero as soon as they realise they actually may have the power to do something about it after a general election!!

What’s the point of Labour ?

Ian Fraser Scottish Parliament Andrew F Neil is a highly unreliable narrator.

Andrew Neil red-faced after false claim about Humza Yousaf’s pension.

The GB News co-founder deleted his tweet after @scotparl clarified Yousaf’s pension would be “in the order of” £2000 per annum payable from age 65.

The #WASPI Campaign women will always have my unwavering support and admiration.

The WASPI women are not just fighting for themselves, but for my daughters too.

It would be a complete betrayal if Labour and the Tories fail to deliver the compensation WASPI women deserve.

Douglas Ross MP MSP Scottish Conservatives No, no, you truly won't.
The answer for Scotland hasn't been Tory since 1955.
Your boss bribing someone to agree to be flown to Rwanda for £3000 and five years free accommodation is ABSURD.
#ScottishIndependence is vital and inevitable.
That you think we want toxic Tory policies…

Tricia Marwick This kind of journalistic error does real damage to politics more generally. And it is so wildly, embarrassingly wrong. A claim the FM will get £52K a year for the rest of his life when it is actually £2K a year from age of 65. Unbelievable.

The National The founder of GB News and The Spectator World editor telling lies ? . I'm shocked . I'm sure that's his hair colour too

The National Was he wrong on his salary, too? Most English commentators are unaware that the salaries of SNP MPs & MSP#s have been capped well under what they’re entitled to for years. So they frequently get it wrong.

NEW: Andrew Neil has been forced to delete a tweet falsely claiming Humza Yousaf would be entitled to £52,000 a year after resigning.

🗣 'Spreading falsehoods online is often attributed to random anonymous trolls. But in this case a huge untruth was tweeted by Andrew Neil'

People in Scotland who have come together to fight for the rightful compensation for #WASPI women will be disappointed that Scottish Labour have failed to support them
