After the death of BBC Scotland, thereโ€™s only one possible course of action: the SNP must demand that broadcasting powers be devolved from Westminster to Holyrood. This country has been deliberately failed by London. So we need to take broadcasting into our own hands In @heraldscotland.bsky.social

heraldscotland.com'SNP must demand powers over broadcasting after death of BBC Scotland channel'Neil Mackay argues the closure of BBC Scotland's TV channel exposes a failure of leadership and makes the case for devolving broadcasting to Holyrood.

London does it, Manchester does it, Liverpool does it. Wales and the West Midlands are about to do it. So why is it only in Scotland that the media loses its mind over plans to bring buses into public control? Answer: because itโ€™s an SNP policy and the Scottish media has lost all sense of balance
