The Herald is using the above in a tragic attempt to groom gullible adults out there.

They were using this in January this year:

When I saw the above being punted by the Herald, I didn’t know whether to laugh or…………laugh. It’s Trump-like in its mix of self-delusion and deep cynicism. They’ll be giving themselves some kind of Pulitzer prize, awarded at a ceremony hosted by Anas Sarwar.

I’ve long lost track of how untrustworthy they have proved to be these last twenty years of anti-SNP propaganda though, before that, they were long champions of corporate interests against those of their own readers.

I searched TuS for every post, these last 11 years, mentioning them and there are far too many to mention here. Here are some of the worst:

1. January 25 2026 – They report supposedly high CalMac costs without mentioning that they are lower than in other ferry services.
2. January 21 – They suggest a housing crisis ignoring Labour memos revealing that SNP has exceeded the latter’s targets.
3. January 12 – They report suggesting ferry service ‘disrupting’ island life and ignore hard evidence that SNP policies have transformed it for the better.
4. January 12 – The mislead on longer A&E waits, half as common in Scotland as in England.
5. January 12 – They platform Labour to hide the truth that child poverty is and will be far lower in Scotland than in Labour-run England and Wales.
6. January 12 – They platform Labour again to conceal fact that 95% of Scotland schools are in good condition up from only 62% under Labour.
7. January 5 – They use dodgy research methods instead of Royal College of Emergency Medicine research revealing that corridor care is more than twice as common in NHS England.
8. January 4 – Misrepresent ferry repair bills for CalMac though far lower than comparable services.
9. December 29 2025 – Report firefighter industrial action but forget to mention far more per fire than under Labour.
10. December 28 – Rely on dodgy Taxpayer’s Alliance report to argue for rail privatisation.
11. December 27 – use selective statistics and ignore official data showing that rape offences are a staggering twice as common in England & Wales.
12. Use on of their habitual tasteless and exploitative images of tragic children to hid Scotland’s achievements in tackling child poverty.

Actually, I hadn’t realised there’d be so many in only four weeks, so I think the point is made.

As the Herald maligns its home city, here are TWELVE reasons why Glasgow is really getting better and is already better than most English cities but it’s being hidden from you by Labour-supporting media

As it falls in NHS Scotland, BBC England evidence for corridor care surges in North of England is based correctly on our method and not that used by the Herald and repeated lazily by BBC Scotland

What the Herald won’t tell you – current water bills in Scotland are the lowest’ of any water company in the UK and it’s 10 times better quality

Maternity negligence in NHS Scotland falls dramatically in last three years to only one seventh, per head, of that in NHS England but the Herald desperately tries to suggest a crisis here
