I was more referring to the 20 years of economic, cultural and structural vandalism that is the sum total of Holyrood's output to be honest. There is only one player who has no interest in improving anything in Scotland, that's the side that needs decline to make it's case for separation.
I am bewildered, and not very impressed, by the visceral, naked, irrational hatred spat out by some defenders of Jason Arday. If a Cambridge professor is accused of being an unqualified charlatan, the accusation might be racially motivated. On the other hand it might not, depending on the evidence. The correct question to ask is not, ”What is the colour of his skin” but “Is it in fact true that he is an unqualified charlatan?” Please examine the evidence before leaping to the assumption of racism.
As for the idea that journalists “piled in on him” and “hounded him to his death”, most attacks were against Cambridge University. Jason himself was widely regarded as an unfortunate victim of foolish promotion way beyond his ability to cope. In appointing him to a professorship for which he was manifestly unqualified – in ludicrously describing him as “the best in the world” – certain senior members of the university showed a level of patronising condescension towards black people that could fairly be described as racism, while at the same time making him tragically vulnerable to such attacks as came his way.
Reform UK will cut the cost of an apprenticeship by 30%, saving the average business £8,000.
We will also give each apprentice a £2,000 cash bonus for staying with the business that trained them, tax-free.
I no longer want to live in a country that looks down on plumbers, painters, carpenters, bricklayers and health and social care workers. We have to re-balance the scales.
We need a Skills Revolution. That is only possible with Reform UK 🇬🇧
@stebramwell I've got a 70yr old employee that's like that, says his options are: 1) do a job he likes with people he likes or 2) become child care for about 10 grandkids and get under his wife's feet.
No brainer
@cyberbobing Jobs can be created, the vacancy stat is irrelevant really. Business confidence, growth and investment could create hundreds of thousands of jobs every year.
