I love Scotland; its beauty, and because it's the land of my ancestors. And I used to sincerely believe that 'we' were better off together, in a United Kingdom.

Not any more! England has turned sour, and Westminster is now remote and incompetent.

Demand your freedom, Scotland. You deserve it!

Or the £30+ billion spaffed on a track and trace project by the Tory loving Dido Harding which is just about equivalent to the black hole in gov finances. Where did that money go? Who is being held to account for how it was spent?

They brought Reform UK into disrepute, it's like saying Hitler had his good points. It's as you say Adrian Reform is rotten to the core and lead by a grifting shyster

Sir M after your brave confession I am joining you on this journey of unburdening the soul. For years our WI has sent Saz (our code name) a crate of meths and lemonade which she swears by concealed as a consignment of piccalilli. Now its off my chest I feel reborn.

I did read it and agreed with everything

Scotia4ever 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @bygstad1.bsky.social · 11d

That is never going to change as long as there are 57 Scottish MPs in a Parliament of 650. There maybe a dialogue but with those numbers Scotland doesn't matter. Only independence will give us a voice to make change and avoid these right wing disasters

Badenoch is really awful. Normally Tory leaders are polished turds but she has no class or polish and a charisma bypass. Brexit has finished the Tories.

Edinburgh airport, a privatised hellhole. No trolleys at car hire so you have to carry them to the terminal, no shelter from the rain. The steps on arrival are steep and dangerous. Moving pavements often broken & the overall ambience of a public toilet. Welcome to Scotland @fionahyslop.bsky.social

You do wonder what she knows about tax rises considering she tries to avoid paying them by moving her ill gotten gain to off shore trusts. She delivered kit that put NHS's staff live's at risk by selling PPE that wasn't sterile. She is a scumbag and has no sense or remorse for her actions.

Michelle Mone was extremely lucky to get a new yacht on the NHS. Because most of us can't even get a GP appointment.

Its not £500k but £500m

There's a surprise Mone's husband's company appointing an administrator, so avoiding paying back anything. The money appears to have gone. What a bunch of charlatans

Incredibly, the Mail is currently madder & more dishonest than it was in the aftermath of the Brexit vote.

Sir M, what a truly touching moment, big dog showing his fashioned bone. One for the Tory party archive. My friend Brenda has made it into a fridge magnet
