An SNP councillor has deleted her Twitter account and apologised after saying Scotland hates the UK.
Glasgow city councillor Rhiannon Spear tweeted after the UK’s entry to the annual Eurovision singing competition on Saturday received zero points and finished last.
She wrote: “It’s ok Europe we hate the United Kingdom too. Love, Scotland. #Eurovision.”
