Here's the unvarnished reality of yesterday's pharmaceutical trade deal with the USA: Labour caved in. Folded. Blew it.

To avoid Trump's tariffs, they have committed the NHS to paying very significantly more for new drugs ie all the lifesaving medicines of the future.

“The criticism about late lockdown doesn't recognise that while we might have wanted to impose the first lockdown earlier, that is not possible for three of the four nations, since the fourth nation, England, controls the purse strings on that,” she said.

Well, this is pretty terrifying. The Daily Mail is buying the Telegraph.

One massive consolidated right-wing media empire controlled by off-shore interests at a critical moment in global politics.

What could go wrong?

Our msm would have preferred us to have blindly followed BJ et al at WM.
Look how that ended up.
It’s unbelievable the spin being put on this and sadly it’s so predictable.

Thanks to TalkingUpScotland for this...
On the back of the covid report we continue to have attacks on Nicola Surgeon's handling of events for the Scottish public.

These attacks are puerile & pathetic, I know because I was there!

There is no doubt mistakes were made and more could be done. However the main blame lies with WM. A devolved gov only has limited powers. Imagine even trying a stand alone lockdown or closing our borders and airports before RUK ?
We had a great leader and great communicator.
