Covid inquiry inadvertently makes case for indy: "Scotgov too dependent on WM".
It's ironic, but with no control over borders, or method to initiate lockdown & no powers for furlough, they did alright. No mention of politicisation of pamdemic by unionist politicos & MSM. But yeah blame scotgov.🤬

A govt deliberately trying to undermine the NHS & make it fail, to flog it off privately, by demonising NHS workers because they are 'immigrants'. It does make you wonder if that is just the plan. Utterly despicable but very on form.

It’s pitiful to watch Labour cynically toy with ideas, hoping to win support, which should have come naturally to the government in its first days: like repealing the two-child benefit cap. It’s too late. If Labour’s guiding mission isn’t eradicating child poverty then what’s the point of the party?

I used to say this trial was a waste of taxpayer dollars, but I think it’s totally worth it.
Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest.
The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says.
"I could smell the onions and mustard."
