There will be people who think this is deeply unfair, but it can’t be avoided anymore. You cannot do politics like this now - going on the radio or TV and using a clever form of words to avoid saying the thing you think will end your career. It doesn’t work and it hasn’t worked for a long time.

The career-ending thing isn’t saying “I broke that promise and I’m sorry, but here’s why I really think it’s the right thing to do…” It is repeatedly saying you did it without holding up your hands; in the process treating your audience like they’re daft and eroding trust so much that nobody listens to your actual argument. Why would you get a hearing for what you believe is right if you can’t show enough respect to admit your choice broke a promise?

No parent would accept that kind of apology from a child; why do some of our politicians still think voters should accept it from them? Trust people to give you a hearing and they’ll listen even when you admit mistakes - maybe even more then, because it is human.

@nlcpeople Why post this baseless nonsense? Every single resident in every North Lanarkshire town sees the disastrous condition of roads/paths/landscaping. Posturing and backslapping about a meaningless partnership fools no one. Embarrassing.

Desperately hope they find the submarine, but the fate of the 5 people on it has already received far more attention than the 78 who drowned in one tragedy off the coast of Greece last week - surely that should make us pause for thought.

@YesScot @Ianblackford_MP @NicolaSturgeon More effort on adding yet more uncertainty and division at the worst of https://t.co/HMxftIlIBR plan today and she’ll never come up with one to answer the questions that matter. What happens to borders, businesses, currency, house prices etc etc. Stop this nonsense in its tracks

Weekend round up: PM & Sunak have to self-isolate but don’t.
PM admits No. 10 flat refurb *was* paid for by Tory donor.
Dido Harding won’t publish details of meetings with firms who won Covid contracts.
BUT DON’T WORRY because this guy appointed by PM to watch out for sleaze.

So finally got through @Printerpix after an hour of holding on the phone. Turns out if you pay £14 next day delivery - they mean it will be dispatched within 1-2 days of it being made which can take up to 15 days! Very misleading and what a rip off!
