You don't allow direct replies. Perhaps this, from The Ferret a couple of years ago, is why...

'In his first assessment of the Chancellor’s maiden Budget, Governor Andrew Bailey said a "substantial" increase in public spending and tax changes that "clearly raise the cost of employment" will drive prices higher over the next three years.' telegraph.co.uk/business/2024/…

Why are you being untruthful? The SNP gov is not reinstating the same winter fuel payments it cancelled for the majority of Scotland's pensioners this year. The two-child cap has been SNP policy for the last seven years as the SNP gov has done nothing about it during this time.

The photo has more than annoyed many people here in Scotland. A man in tartan drag has no relevance whatsoever to Burns Night. That this photo was posted says much about Keir Starmer's awareness. It's as though he wants Scottish Labour to lose next year's Holyrood election.

Your headline and your post suggest BBC Scotland News agrees that John Swinney's summit is an 'anti far right summit'. Where is your BBC impartiality? Why are you repeating SNP rhetoric as though it's fact? It is no wonder you've blocked direct responses.

Then he is totally wrong to participate in this latest divisive SNP stunt.

#BBCSundayShow's SNP party political broadcast: 1. John Swinney's government cancelled winter fuel payments for Scotland's pensioners. His blaming the UKG went unchallenged by martin geissler. 2. In a Holyrood election, the winning party can only gain a mandate for devolved matters.

John Swinney backs the Presiding Officer following the accusations of her bias in favour of his party. 🤣

This is a further example of the 'poison pills' The SNP, including members of your devolved administration, feeds the people of Scotland John Swinney.
