David Lammy has been in his role as foreign secretary for 233 days racking up £521,525 in food and drink expenses.
An impressive £2238 a day.
The state pension works out at £31.60 a day.
I'm willing to give up all my English subsidies for an Independent Scotland. We'll keep the tax revenue and sell our renewable energy, our gas and our oil, our exports of food, drink and space technology for our own betterment. #ScottishIndependence
Think on it; Belgium does not produce oil but has 4 oil refineries.
Scotland is the biggest oil producer in N. Europe but has one oil refinery. Labour is closing Scotland's one refinery and giving Belgium £600m to build a fifth one.
Labour is obviously not on Scotland's side.
“20,000 missing children in Gaza — some maimed beyond recognition.
On top of the 17,000 killed in 12 months.
We call it genocide because it is genocide.”

I was on the Scottish Football Podcast this morning discussing:
The transformation into a "Box to Box" Midfielder under Andoni Iraola has been exceptional.
Let's look at how he has been performing in the Premier League this year 👇
The UK has the highest retirement age in the world, the lowest pension in Europe, the longest working hours in Europe, one of the lowest minimum wages, the highest energy costs, the biggest profits, and the lowest taxes for the richest.
It all needs to change.

😠😠😠😠😠😠
Margaret Thatcher destroyed the miners
Theresa May/Boris Johnson destroyed small businesses
Liz Truss destroyed the economy
Rishi Sunak will destroy our NHS
They all destroyed our lives in one way or another
You are welcome to add your own ‘take’ on my suggestions
The UK has the most people in work, ever, and the highest taxes ever.
Yet there is no money for the NHS, schools, potholes, pensions, Junior Doctors, or anything you need.
Who is taking all our money?
Israeli soldier steals Celtic flag in Gaza
Why did an Israeli soldier take the flag of Scottish football team Celtic from a stadium in Gaza? The flag came from the Khan Yunis football stadium, now destroyed in the Israeli military's invasion of Gaza. The story of how it got there connects to a shared history of British colonisation and bonds formed between Celtic fans and the Palestinian struggle.
You must ask yourself.
Why are we keeping 200 people on Bibby Stockholm when we could have built 20,000 houses at £80,000 each instead for £1.6bn.
The answer, because they wanted to steal all the money.
Average UK household energy bill to rise to £1,928 from January.
It was £1,042 in Jan 2021.
Has your income doubled? Energy company profits have more than trebled.
Ofgem supports companies, provides no estimate of fuel poverty.
Govt cuts real wages, no curbs on profiteering.
Do Palestinians not scream in agony as they watch their friends and family die?
Do Palestinian children not deserve to laugh and play with their friends at school?
Do Palestinian lives not matter?
To save what is left of our common humanity, we need a ceasefire now.
