@Jacqui_C_ @Channel4News Heavy #Tory bias in media prevents people from forming their own opinions on events 'reported' and I use the term 'reported' very loosely given the extent of 'brainwashing' from some media owners that act to serve their own interests.

Truth is distorted for personal gain. 🤑
@Jacqui_C_ @Channel4News @Keir_Starmer faces an uphill battle to address media bias that prevents his message from even being heard by voters.

COVID pandemic restrictions have limited opportunities for face-to-face campaigning that could circumvent media bias although the wall of bias is constant.
@Jacqui_C_ @Channel4News @Keir_Starmer “People don’t really know what we stand for, so we’re having to fall back on the time-honoured tradition of anti-Tory sentiment,” complained another MP.

This plays into hands of corrupt and biased media since this comes across as criticism of #LiarJohnson and therefore negative.
@Jacqui_C_ @Channel4News @Keir_Starmer "Starmer’s team said they had been hampered by the difficulty of on-the-ground campaigning and the struggle to get their message across during the pandemic. “In some ways, these elections have come too soon for us,” said senior party strategist."

#Tory biased media is constant.
@Jacqui_C_ @Channel4News @Keir_Starmer "But a poor performance is nevertheless likely to intensify recent calls for Starmer to reshuffle his shadow cabinet, some of whom have struggled to make a significant impact on the public consciousness."

No. 1 priority - address media bias and reporting standards.
@Jacqui_C_ @Channel4News @Keir_Starmer All political parties need to recognize that whilst #Tories falsely declare that Brexit is done, the IMPACT of the damage from Brexit has not been a factor in previous elections since the extent of damage was, and continues to be, a relatively unknown factor.
@Jacqui_C_ @Channel4News @Keir_Starmer To a similar degree, the full extent of the damage from COVID pandemic is not yet known - the wind and force of the hurricane is ebbing - but the detailed assessment has yet to be done in terms of the damage to lives, jobs, businesses, communities and economies worldwide.
@Jacqui_C_ @Channel4News @Keir_Starmer Topmost priority - INDEPENDENT & PUBLIC inquiry into COVID-19 pandemic and the response management by governments across UK, particularly the corrupt practices evident from #LiarJohnson and UK Government.

The delay of this inquiry allows #LiarJohnson to falsely claim successes.
@Jacqui_C_ @Channel4News @Keir_Starmer The most guilty individuals in terms of the mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic in UK, are the ones that continually evade scrutiny and accountability - aided and abetted by Tory biased media - #LiarJohnson and UK Government.

@glasgowcathcart @stevelonie @Dorokusai_tweet @indywolf72 I agree with you!

There are far too many current references in that bigoted attempt to distort the truth - Scotland, like all other nations but for the existence of tin-pot dictators worldwide and in Westminster, has the right of self-determination.
@glasgowcathcart @stevelonie @Dorokusai_tweet @indywolf72 Furthermore, the author deliberately incorrectly apportions the blame for the political game playing by the #Tories onto @SNP.

@NicolaSturgeon acknowledges there are things that could have been done differently and maybe better and commits to doing better if given the chance.
@glasgowcathcart @stevelonie @Dorokusai_tweet @indywolf72 @snp @NicolaSturgeon Opposition parties in Holyrood are wholly responsible for limiting the achievements of @scotgov with their partisan politicking and need to promote themselves continually because they want to be @ScotGovFM and @scotgov !!

An account of Brexit - that we can BELIEVE!

"Asked why the public should believe the figure on the bus, Mr Brake said: "The reports commissioned by the Government have confirmed that, whichever model of trade deal the United Kingdom goes for, ..."

@STVNews "He also argued that Scotland was a “stronger nation” because it was part of the United Kingdom."

I do wish they, being the corrupt cabal misrepresenting UK Government, would make up their minds!!
@STVNews The financial status of Scotland is frequently misrepresented in GERS but only serves to illustrate the case for #ScottishIndependence 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿.

Scotland would evidently be much better off OUT of the failed union that was once the UK!

@BorisJohnson Do you not have a modicum of decency or compassion for fellow citizens in UK or mankind, generally?

"Failures in the UK’s pandemic response are not hard to identify, but on one front the Government’s success is undeniable: persuading a fearful nation to stay locked indoors for much of the past year."
"But the problem with fear, as one behavioural scientist said on Friday, is that “you can’t turn it on and off like a tap”."
"Whether frightening the public was a deliberate – or honest – tactic has become the subject of intense debate, and dozens of psychologists have now accused ministers of using “covert psychological strategies” to manipulate the public’s behaviour."
