The Morning Briefing |
|
Good morning, it's Xander here this Saturday morning bringing you the run down of today's news.
Dominating our most popular stories - and our front page - is the fallout from Thursday's edition of Question Time. The BBC show saw the host, Fiona Bruce, make a false claim about Scottish trans prisoners, and guest India Willoughby compare being on the panel to being at her own "hanging".
One audience member has written exclusively for The National explaining what it was like on set - and the verdict isn't good.
And elsewhere the news is still led by what happened on our TV screens, after Nadine Dorries' fawning interview with Boris Johnson that saw her label Nicola Sturgeon "Chippy Nick".
In more serious news, talks between the education unions and Scottish Government have led to "no new offer", and a man has been found guilty of threatening to assassinate the First Minister on social media.
And a touch of the absurd comes from the monarchy (who'd have guessed) as King Charles offers to let people struggling to pay their energy bills use two of his grand Scottish properties as “warm spaces” - but only once a week.
The SNP's depute leader at Westminster has written for us on Alister Jack's latest attempt to lay out a route to indyref2, and former constitution secretary Michael Russell looks at the corruption which is still rife at Westminster.
As always, there are loads more exclusive stories, acute analysis, and unmissable news coverage over at thenational.scot.
Thanks for your support!
