here's a sky news report giving context to the actual Scottish Government denial (not the misleading description of it in the tweet you linked to) that it had acquiesced to Whitehall taking the lead on deciding who gets testing kits, hope that's real enough for you, ignorant prick.
Oh and Sky were one of the outlets reporting the fake news in the first place:

Impressively blinkered as always. The Times political correspondent, I'm sure he loves the SNP...
UK Government announced that it was taking control of devolved health matters, including testing, and that these would be allocated centrally by Whitehall. This is after Wales has their confirmed orders with suppliers gazumped by PHE-matching the Sky news report, matching the reports by Care Scotland that orders are not getting sent north of the border. This then forces supplies to come from NHS Scotland's stockpile.
Again, you're misrepresentation of the Scottish Government statement doesn't make it mean what you want it to-it simply refutes the UK government claim that it's agreed to cede testing and supply to Westminster. Sturgeon very clear in stating they already sourced test kits and ventilators from existing manufacturers. https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/18354670.sturgeon-warned-over-bidding-war-vital-equipment-insisting-scotland-will-buy-ventilators/
Gompels even updated their webpage again, contradicting denials from Hancock and Sunak last night, reiterating that it was instructed by PHE to distribute to England only.

US accused of 'modern piracy' after diversion of masks meant for EuropeAgain, tried to do the same with supplies to Canada and Mexico

Jesus. You're in such a rush to be smug that you don't even know what you are posting. The Tweet you linked to says that the Scottish Government denied it had given permission for the UK parliament to dictate their testing regimes and to assume control of procurement.
The statement posted in the tweet does not deny that tests had been diverted, but asserts that it will continue to source and conduct its own tests. Sturgeon has said the Government are investigating, and seeking reassurances from Hancock. Hancock cancelled that meeting, then Sunak came out in full denial mode later in the day.
Obviously, with Hancock's track record it isn't a desirable or politically expedient thing to be chained to Tory policy when people's lives are at stake. Health is a devolved area, Public Health England and Westminster have no purview over the Scottish NHS. So, out of two of us, who the fuck is the one posting fake news by trying to pass that tweet off as something it's not? Welcome to the world of BBC style reportage and whatever shite interpretation of 'facts' you come up with.
