Mail Asking tough questions without fear

The Sunday Mail today exposes the chaos at the heart of the Scottish Government as Covid19 killed thousands in our care homes.

Ministers appear not to have known their own guidelines on discharging untested coronavirus patients from hospitals into institutions.

Two days after we revealed the scandalous practice in April the rules were changed to require two negative test results.

We also carry exclusive revelations that Scottish Conservative leader Douglas Ross could face a Fifa refereeing ban after he included an image of himself as a match official in a party leaflet.

Meanwhi le Lib Dem MSP Mike Rumbles is facing renewed criticism for missing more time at Holyrood due to another trip to Italy.

He had to attend an important committee meeting remotely last week after being forced to isolate for two weeks because the country was added to the UK’s quarantine list.

These are just the stories covered in this edition.

Since March we have led the way with our reporting of the pandemic, whether that has been highlighting the shocking lack of PPE for frontline workers or dangerous failings in our contact tracing operation.

Coronavirus has created the deepest crisis the country has faced since devolution.

We take the job of informing our readers and holding power to account incredibly seriously.

And we will continue to do that fearlessly no matter what party a politician represents.

It is not something we will be dissuaded from by anyone, whether it be government ministers or anonymous Twitter trolls.
