Indeed many of us felt when devolution was first implemented that the roles of SoS for Scotland, Wales and NI should have been abolished or at least restricted to areas of clearly reserved matters. Instead, they have simply worked to undermine the devolution they said they supported.

In case you're in any doubt of the limits that the Scottish NHS has imposed on it. He's now the Labour Health Secretary- being truthful for a change.
The Scottish NHS is THE best preforming NHS in the UK DESPITE the consequences of Westminster it'd be even better with #ScottishIndependence 💙

Massive class-action civil lawsuits against every individual who profited off our loved ones deaths. And for those souls still on ventilators or with long-covid or permanent physical damage.
Covid fraud under the Tories cost the UK taxpayer £10.9bn.

VIP lanes and crony contracts.

Lack of anti-fraud controls in Covid scheme.
Money handed out for non-existent employees
Newly formed companies got public money
No competitive tenders
Poor checks on quality.

How much would be recovered?

The counter-fraud and error measures during the pandemic under the Conservative Government were accused of being 'so lax they may as well have left the door wide open'

.@bellacaledonia's take on the oleaginous Offord. Worth a read to remind yourself of his extreme right-wing views and the dark money which enabled his political career. He's angling for a Holyrood seat, make no mistake.

Channel 4 in the UK is going to air the brilliant ‘Say Nothing’. It was previously only available via paid streaming.

It’s about what’s euphemised (sic) as ‘The Troubles’ in the north of Ireland.

British people need to watch it.

The World Cup is only months away and FIFA is failing to ensure players fans, and immigrant communities here will be protected from increasingly authoritarian ICE activity.

FIFA must commit to enacting protections against racial profiling, arbitrary detention, and unlawful immigration enforcement.

FIFA seriously needs to move the World Cup out of America. It is too dangerous to send players here.

After seeing FIFA give the pedophile trump a peace award, i think Canada should pull out of FIFA and everyone should boycott the games. What a joke they have become. Giving a peace prize to someone murdering innocent fishermen & calling then drug traffickers/funding the Palestine/Ukraine genocides

Countries need to pull out of playing any games in the U.S. until trump the Pedophile is locked up. The U.S. is one of the most dangerous country's for tourists to travel to and even for U.S. citizens. ICE aka U.S. Nazis, are a threat to everyone.

13 years and £80 million to tell us what we already knew - that the police were culpable, and that they will never face justice for their actions.

The cover up did its job exactly as intended.
