For the avoidance of doubt (since some have been asking), the 800 on the Scottish public payroll without proper jobs does NOT include the 129 MSPs in Holyrood 🤣🤣🤣
Astounding Sunday Times investigation reveals new scandal in SNP’s Socialist Scotland:
800 NHS, central government, council and quango workers whose jobs no longer exist but remain on the public payroll because of the SNP’s ‘no public-sector redundancy’ policy.
Estimated cost of paying people to do nothing: £27m a year.
One NHS Highland worker has been receiving a full salary and benefits for 17 years despite not having a specific job.
The health board refused to say what the worker had been doing for almost two decades and how much they had been paid.
Likely cost to the taxpayer is expected to be far higher with several public bodies refusing to disclose salaries for hundreds of the workers awaiting redeployment.
Due to the stormy conditions the SFA referees committee have confirmed that there’ll be no added on time today at Easter Rd if their team is leading by just the single goal. Important thing is the sparse “crowd” gets up the road safely.

How can Chelsea spend over a billion quid in last few seasons & have OAP Jordan Henderson in the starting 11?
Appreciate he should already have his hat trick but that’s a lovely timed run & back post finish from Kelsey. Proper strikers goal. He’s only going to keep getting better.
They spent £11m+ on Hogh & another couple of million quid on the disco lights for night like these 😂
Catching the last of the dusk & some amazing moonlight reflections off the mouth of the Tay on this evenings daunderings #dogslife
I’m less confused about Man Utd getting spanked off some Italian side I’ve never heard of than understanding how the hell they ever qualified for the UCL. That’ll be Carrick gone I assume.
Labour MP’s bleating over Jackdaw the same ones who throw a hissy fit over any proposal to cut benefits for the work shy. Country’s skint & defenceless because it can’t keep up with the ever growing welfare budget. Balance the books & you might not be forced to drill baby drill.
The Scottish Independence Gardening Division have today left Twitter & thereby created a safe space for normal folk. If desired you can still catch up with Ross & his fellow workshy dafties in the traditional way via the letters page of The National or by howling at the moon.
At what point in a Europa game does Callum call time on no more goals? Irish coefficient must be through the floor.
In Bury. Bournemouth followed the Palace game on the tele. 10mins in & one of them sort has successfully lobbied to turn it over to the Benfica game. Half-time and he’s telling the barman he can turn it back. Locals quick as a flash “yer alright mate, we’re quite enjoying this”😂
The well heeled ladies of Piddington will now reap the full benefit of voting Lib Dem. Just maybe it’ll make them take a little pause for thought next time they get a chance to put a cross on a voting slip. Abandoned by Labour female MP’s to be expected but their own MP as well!
What a turnaround in a few weeks this is @RangersFC Ashamed to say never saw a glimmer of this coming over the horizon in August. Won nothing yet but hopes are high. Very well done to all involved. Amazing what a bit of confidence & just ensuring you hit the target can achieve.
Now wait Andy Burnham let me take a note of this in my Filofax . Am I right in saying you’re floating the idea we buy the lowest cost fuel we can find in our local area? Our PM has morphed into a Poundland version of Martin Lewis #niceoneandyletshaveanotherone #fuelpovertysolved
Scotlands CB’s are absolute wonky donkey & Robertson has looked out on his feet since the 60th minute. Been totally dominated by little Slovenia this half.
A great time of year when the weathers kind like this. Quick teatime stroll with Seb lad & then back for sausage & mash and everything’s good in the world tonight. And proper footballs nearly back!
Nice to see a day at the Royal & Ancient home of golf not spoiled by wee entitled dafties in their silly green balaclavas 🏴 🇬🇧
