Here's an example of the SNP in action,
A lying incompetent leading a political cult!

So you'll tell Burnham he's the 'last PM ever', 'WM is finished', demand more powers and independence.
Then ask for more money.
World class negotiating skills from a corrupt incompetent failure.

This idea that Scotlands budget has been cut by £650m is false and misleading. The SNP are taking into account the extra Covid money we received that was emergency funding it was never meant to be carried on.
Another example of fake propaganda how can anyone trust this party when they lie about everything to make a grievance against WM.
They say they will pass on this energy money the UK government have pledged but we will see I won’t hold my breath 🙄

Lara Bird claims she was 'representing her constituents' by trying to illegally enter Palestine. 🙈
Absolutely batshit crazy.

He told a 65% Leave town he'd respect Brexit, then got the job and started measuring up for Brussels. Every Brexit-backing seat should remember Makerfield.

The sooner something is done about the ludicrously outdated Barnett formula for the UK government funding for Scotland, the better.
The SNP has a policy of not enforcing compulsory redunancies.
No one wants redundancies, and everything should always be done to ensure they are a last resort.
But, enforcing a blanket ban cannot work as it hamstrings organisations to move forward and to be able to react to the challenges and opportunities of the day.
I also know, first hand, the impact redundancy can have, as I have been through it twice in my 42 year career to date. I'm absolutely not unsympathetic to those affected by it.
But we now find the SNP have spent £27 million on paying salaries to government employees whose jobs no longer exist.
£27 MILLION.
This is outrageous.
And, clearly, if they can afford this they won't mind the Barnett formula finally being scrapped.
After all, what justification have they for keeping it when wasting this shocking amount of taxpayers money??

Andy Burnham has told the Sunday Times that he is open to readopting free movement as part of a closer relationship with the EU. This would be an utter affront to all those - including the millions of working-class voters in Labour's traditional heartlands - who voted for Brexit. At a time when our immigration system remains completely broken, it would also be a calamitous own goal. Under no circumstances should the Labour party go along with it.

You want an honest discussion Andy? Try this
17.4 million people voted to stop this freedom of movement shambles and now a PM with fewer than 25,000 votes from a constituency which voted overwhelmingly to leave the EU … arrogantly thinks he has a mandate to take the rest of us back in.
He doesn’t 💣

No to Scottish Independence and the SNP
So there we have it, Sturgeon and her government did not consult the care inspectorate before sending elderly patients into care homes, the majority were sent untested for covid. No wonder all text messages were deleted!
George Dunn retweeted
The SNP, including Sturgeon, has apologised to long dead witches but they have not apologised to the families of care home residents who died of the deadly virus after a damning UK Covid Inquiry criticised them for a lack of preparedness. The SNP must be held to account.
John Swinney MUST apologise to families of loved ones killed by Covid in care homes scottishdailyexpress.co.uk/n…

Thank heaven for small mercies. The UK government has — at last — granted consent for gas to be produced from the Jackdaw gas field. Now, what about Rosebank?

Good evening

Scotland’s politicians and top council bosses are doing just fine while the country isn’t.🙄
Median full-time pay in Scotland is around £40,000. An MSP takes home roughly £75,000–£78,000. The elected council leaders in Glasgow and Edinburgh are on about £71,500–£74,000. Ministers and the First Minister are on substantially more.
That’s already roughly twice what most working Scots earn, with strong pensions, expenses and job security on top.
Then there’s the unelected senior officers. Glasgow’s former chief executive Annemarie O’Donnell was on a salary of around £209,000, and walked away with a total package reported at over £567,000 once a large pension contribution was included. Current chief executives in the big cities are still in the £200,000+ range.
Meanwhile ordinary people face council tax rises of 4–10%, councils report hundreds of millions in budget gaps, services are under pressure, and Scotland still has Europe’s worst drug death rate.
The people at the top , both the politicians and the highest-paid officers keep receiving well above average pay and appear largely insulated from the consequences. They feel secure. A lot of Scots don’t.
When does that change?
