The Scotsman, by David Bol, on UK Politics, 11 November 2026
We do not republish articles from The Scotsman. Our findings are below, each quoting the words it is about. Read the full article on the outlet's own site.
Read the original article on scotsman.com (opens in a new tab)The Scotsman reports Justice Secretary Neil Gray's statement to Holyrood on preparing for power cuts from storms, cyber attacks and hostile state activity, and the Scottish Conservative leader's criticism of the response to Storm Boelo. The warnings are attributed to Mr Gray throughout, and the headline keeps that attribution. Nothing in the article misleads its reader.
“The SNP Justice Secretary, who is also responsible for security and resilience”
It tells the reader who is speaking and why the warning falls within his brief, so the claim reads as a minister's assessment and not as the outlet's own.
“In Largs, drains were tarmacked over, and sandbags were delivered after the water receded”
It gives the opposition's criticism in concrete, checkable detail instead of a vague charge, and then prints the minister's reply.
“Mr Gray told Holyrood”
It attributes the warnings to the minister and names where he said them, so the reader can tell a government statement from established fact.
