One of
BBC Scotland’s top political broadcasters, Ian MacWhirter, has hit out at the “impoverished dependency” affecting the
corporation north of the border.

His comments came just days before BBC Scotland’s
Head of News and Current Affairs, Blair Jenkins (pictured) announced his resignation
yesterday.

MacWhirter has presented the Holyrood Live
television programme for the past seven years and also writes for The Herald
and Sunday Herald.
