Channel 4 News is generally the best of a bad bunch in UK news broadcasting but it was odd in their report on the Scottish and Welsh elections today that they said Plaid and SNP had failed to win majorities but didn't say both countries use PR systems which make majorities almost impossible.

If Holyrood used the same First Past The Post voting system that Westminster seems to think is so wonderful, the SNP would currently hold 83.3% of the seats. Remember that when the corporate media dismiss the mandate.

This should be pointed out to every unionist commentator. 👇👇👇

The media forensically dissects the pasts of people who challenge the status quo, such as Polanski and Corbyn. Fair enough, up to a point: we should know about our representatives. But it's far less inquisitive about those who defend power, however great their misdeeds, such as Nigel Farage.🧵

My latest blog piece. With the revelation from Malcolm Offord that Sarwar approached him suggesting Labour and Reform work together, it's now clear, Labour cannot be trusted to keep out Reform. weegingerdug.wordpress.com/2026/04/14/l...

Malcolm Offord has claimed Anas Sarwar “bounced up to him” in Paisley Town Hall at the start of the election campaign and said “we need to work together, Reform and Labour, to remove the SNP”. Sarwar hasn't denied the claim. Labour is so right wing it's willing to cooperate with the far right.

The Daily Record, like most of the corporate media we see, is unionist to its core, and specialises in bigging up Labour even when it's clear that party hasn't a socialist bone left in its body. Read the news you're *not* getting.

Scotland is an energy superpower, yet we pay the highest fuel prices in the UK. This is a scandal of Westminster’s making - and while other countries act to support people, the UK government does nothing. It’s time to take control of our energy with independence.
