@BorisJohnson getting trolled by other world leaders for all his empty soundbites... And snubbed by his EU counterparts.

@BorisJohnson could always call his buddy @realDonaldTrump to discuss a US trade deal... for the next 2 weeks until @Potus @JoeBiden also snubs him.

Extraordinary story by @MattChapmanUK who undertook 2-year FOI battle to get details of secret meeting between British govt & Zuck. Hancock bent over backwards to suck up to FB & undermine parliament's investigation into Cambridge Analytica & fake news

'Stop immigration
Reject Common Market

Scrap overseas aid
Vote National Front'

Amazing & horrifying. It took 50 years but the National Front has triumphed

200,000 retail jobs gone this year according to @Keir_Starmer... the number that @altusgroup projected before #Covid.

It was a 'forever recession' before the virus.

Shoulda thought about reskilling/upskilling years ago!!

WhatIf... Derek MacKay and @TheSNP listened more to non-celebs who get money for ferries before becoming bad loans?

@Channel4 tonight... How @Amazon took over the world.

In the UK concern about @Debenhams and Arcadia as the high street dies.

Innovate or die... and look at how insightful @Marc_Smith was 30 years ago

Given the state of Sauchiehall Street and/or Mike Ashley complaining about online retailers... here's an understatement from 1992 (2 years BEFORE Amazon)

Bet there isn't an MP or MSP among these poor souls.

IMHO every politican should live like their poorest costituants for a month.

Maybe then the 'honourable' group who 'got into politics to make a difference' might actually make a difference to people!

Andrew Marr to Nicola Sturgeon- "You said closing the educational attainment gap was a moral challenge for Scotland and you wanted to be judged by that. On that judgement, you have failed."

Education is suffering under the SNP. But all they care about is Independence.

Boris Johnson asked Sir Alex Allan to tone down report which found Priti Patel had bullied civil servants

‘He didn’t think Alex’s findings accorded with the evidence

‘He spoke to Alex and asked him if he’d change the tone of it. Alex said no’ https://t.co/OdfbQX0NVH
