It's infuriating Scotland has been dragged into a mess it didn't vote for. Think how much better our lives could be without England's fascisty influence.
The UK is losing up to £250m a day in lost tax revenue due to the economic impact of Brexit, House of Commons Library analysis for the Lib Dems suggests.

Brexit has blown a "black hole of [up to] £90 billion a year in the public finances" the party says. Even under lower estimates the hit is ~£65bn

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Good.

Now when can we expect to see Labour officials imprisoned for the same crime as working as Foreign Agents for the Genocide and Apartheid State of Israhell?

Just saw the Sunday Show- Mhairi Mccallum, serious, dignified answers putting the point across very well. Particularly impressed with how she dealt with loaded immigration questions. Lovely to see some humanity

Sarwar- everything Mhairi was not despite the softball Beeb interview.

Migrants didn't cut council funding.
Migrants didn't raise energy bills.
Migrants didn't close community centres.

Know what would help solve Scotland’s problems? Taxing the super-rich and building an affordable country for all.

Example 10 million of how they will concoct anything to have a go at Scotland despite the facts. How anyone can defend this union is beyond me. They politicised a pandemic to protect the UK. Well past time it was abolished

It’s quaint, I know, but the President of the United States calling for the hanging of Democratic service members for saying that no one should follow an illegal order should inspire a conversation about the 25th Amendment.

This springs to mind. The article is damning even for the BBC. Johnson's government deemed mass gatherings safe at the time because they couldn't upset the posh horsey crowd . Despite experts describing the conditions as "perfect" for a virus. He should rot in jail

So the covid enquiry are blaming the UK and devolved governments of failure to lock down earlier. I find this very unfair on devolved governments as they didn't have the financing & Scotland DID lock down be4 the rest.
