This is a really striking answer. @channel4 privatisation will mean less news. Fewer investigations. An end to the full length @Channel4News as we know it. And crucially, less scrutiny of politicians. No one should be supporting it for this reason alone. — PolitiTweet.org

@Hamill2086John @FMcGregor1 A simple question. Do you think a single no voter noticed that and thought. 'Great argument. I'm voting yes?' — PolitiTweet.org

@w_brown10 Bit rich talk of unity from folk who got elected under our banner and then flounced off as soon as they were elected. Anyway, you’ll excuse me but I’ve got to go work rather than answer any more tweets about Alba! Have a good afternoon. John. — PolitiTweet.org

@donscot17 @FMcGregor1 The Speaker always uses MPs’ names. MPs use constituency names when talking about one another. — PolitiTweet.org

@AllanJW @Kokotxas1 It was part of the legislation when the televising of parliament began. They show very limited close ups of anyone apart from the person speaking. I’d change that. I’d show close ups of all the screaming and abuse. — PolitiTweet.org

JOHN NICOLSON M.P. @MrJohnNicolson

@craigthepict Honestly Craig, if my disapproval of Alba throws you to such a degree you’ll make my head spin too. My views are pretty much an open book on most subjects for anyone who follows me here. Have a good afternoon. John — PolitiTweet.org

@AlastairMcInty2 Well….. — PolitiTweet.org

JOHN NICOLSON M.P. @MrJohnNicolson

I don’t have much time for the Alba party. I tend to avoid mentioning them because why give them free publicity when they get less than 1% at the ballot box? On the rare occasions I do mention them I get deluged with transphobic nonsense and rubbish like this from fake accounts. https://t.co/JOHDFPTCbv — PolitiTweet.org

JOHN NICOLSON M.P. @MrJohnNicolson

According to @Ofcom & @Reuters, @Channel4News is the most trusted news show. Channel boss @MahonAlex confirms a privatised @Channel4 would be unlikely to keep it in its present long format. Nor @UnreportedWorld. Too expensive. So privatisation means less scrutiny for politicians. https://t.co/vB6nqFOO4u — PolitiTweet.org

@aillynnbee Sometimes. But not always. — PolitiTweet.org

JOHN NICOLSON M.P. @MrJohnNicolson

I think politicians should be subjected to the detailed journalistic scrutiny which only long-format interviews can provide. What effect would @Channel4 privatisation have on the length of @Channel4News and also on its budget for investigative journalism? I asked its boss. https://t.co/K7qkrX0Rf0 — PolitiTweet.org

@pickles1387 @couldasaid @FMcGregor1 Because they paint a picture of an independent Scotland as a narrow, intolerant, socially regressive place. The very opposite of what it’s set to become. — PolitiTweet.org

JOHN NICOLSON M.P. @MrJohnNicolson

Culture Secretary #NadineDorries told the Commons Culture Committee that @Channel4 used actors in deprived neighbourhood reality show ‘Tower Block of Commons’. She said one had confessed this to her. Is it true? Channel boss @MahonAlex has been investigating. @CommonsDCMS https://t.co/gVJt1eY8q5 — PolitiTweet.org

I intend to get voted out of the Commons following an independence referendum. For that to happen we need to win over the other 50%. I believe we will do that with calm heads and strong arguments. #Indyref2023 — PolitiTweet.org

@KirkJTorrance I’ve never pretended to be a friend of Alba. Far from it. Some of the candidates’ social views are pretty awful, as is the transphobia so central to the party message. I was really disappointed to see you join the party ranks Kirk as I always liked you. — PolitiTweet.org
