@Alison_S_Taylor @Keir_Starmer Really Alison? The absolute state of this country just now and you just want to score political points. How about you get real and actually do something to help hard working families in your constituency rather than a (very likely whip planted) question about 1 criminal figure?

Work and pensions secretary, McFadden: "Every meeting I have is 'who can we tax in order to pay benefits to others', he wrote.

What me and others have suspected all along. Labour wants to tax the hard working people of this country to death @Alison_S_Taylor

[David Arthur Gunn @davegunnar]

@Alison_S_Taylor No respite for the hardest working families who send their children to independent schools thanks to labours damaging policies. Damaging job, schools and children and furthermore looks very likely to be on course to cost the taxpayer money in Scotland. Will you lobby for change?

[David Arthur Gunn @davegunnar]

@Alison_S_Taylor Labours hard left policies are driving people to Reform, if you don’t change tact we’ll have Farage as PM in 3 years. It’s time to get the head out of the sand and please move the party to the centre. Cut tax, drive growth, build prosperity. The writing is on the wall.

[David Arthur Gunn @davegunnar]

I hope today’s results in England cause Labour to take their heads out of the sand and start listening to hard working people. Your failed high tax policies are causing people to lurch to the right. If you don’t listen, we’ll have a reform government in 3 years! @Alison_S_Taylor!

[David Arthur Gunn @davegunnar]

@GrahamSpiers This is my problem Graham, there are no left/centre parties in Scotland. Greens far left, Labour + SNP not far off them. There is a chasm to the centre. What party is caring of the vulnerable but supports hard working people to keep their own money and understands business?

[David Arthur Gunn @davegunnar]

@montie Iran, with all its many failings, was not an existential threat. When you use such hyperbole, you lose all credibility.

[David Arthur Gunn @davegunnar]

@Alison_S_Taylor here is no chance of Sarwar being FM. All middle and high earner are scunnered by Labours high tax policies. You told me just after the election you believed taxes were too high, yet with fiscal drag they go up. Please stand up for what you believe in and invoke change.

[David Arthur Gunn @davegunnar]

@Alison_S_Taylor Labour are killing the economy, killing the hardest working families and seem intent on squeezing everyone into a narrow band of “middle earning” where if you earn “too much” they’ll tax you to hell and if you earn “too little” they’ll give you state funded giveaways. Disgraceful

[David Arthur Gunn @davegunnar]

@Alison_S_Taylor “There is nothing about Labour that penalises ambition”

1. VAT on independent schools, hurting the hardest working families
2. Increased employer NI causing employers to freeze hiring or reduce staff numbers.
3. Fiscal Drag - disincentivising ambition

[David Arthur Gunn @davegunnar]

@montie And if a deadly virus that killed children was spreading through our communities you wouldn’t think a lockdown is acceptable to stop it spreading and save lives? Just so you could have a pint? What a simplistic, naive statement.

[David Arthur Gunn @davegunnar]

@Alison_S_Taylor @BrianLeishmanMP The pair of you need to stop the infighting and get on with what matters to constituents,which is keeping more of their own money and you can do that by getting the economy growing and cutting taxes for hard working families. Current Labour are the party of high tax and no grow!

[David Arthur Gunn @davegunnar]

@Alison_S_Taylor Sorry Alison but you know inflation is complex and linked to global issues, Labour promised growth but we’ve got stagnation in part due to your high tax strategy. Businesses and consumers are nervous and Farage is winning by stoking the flames of discontent. I’m worry by that.

[David Arthur Gunn @davegunnar]

@Nonamegiven_o_ @Alison_S_Taylor And those top earns pay the lions share of tax, your beating them with a tax stick and causing a brain drain. If you don’t believe me, go see Alison’s original post, she agrees!

[David Arthur Gunn @davegunnar]

@Nonamegiven_o_ @Alison_S_Taylor Less attractive than currently, which no one can disagree with 🙄. I’m only trying to save as much as I can for my future, and frankly I’m already paying an astronomical amount of tax. Labour are failing the country. If you don’t believe me, look at the opinion polls.

[David Arthur Gunn @davegunnar]

@Nonamegiven_o_ @Alison_S_Taylor You know fine well that is changing to be less attractive. I’m simply trying to work hard and save for my future to ensure I’m not dependent on the state yet Labour want to destroy ambition and seemingly want to squeeze everyone into earning less. This is the worst gov of my life

Extraordinary words by Sir John Major on #Brexit at LSE last night: 🧵 🇬🇧 🇪🇺

1. “In an act of collective folly, the United Kingdom voted to lead to European Union across the world, our enemies celebrated and our friends despair.”

“We left Europe on a minority vote of 37% of the election after a referendum campaign that was packed with misinformation and misjudgment, it left our country poorer, weaker and divorced from the richest free trade market that history has ever seen. National interest was brushed aside by false hopes and promises”.

“False hopes and promises that even a cabinet dominated by front line Brexit enthusiasts was unable to deliver the promises they made, […] while the forecast damage of leaving the European Union has become only too apparent. The nation saw Project Fear become Project Reality very easily. It's no consolation that the majority of the public now overwhelmingly recognizes that it was mislead in their moments of triumph.”

“Brexiteers predicted other countries would follow their lead and leave the European Union. None have. All saw only too clearly that Brexit was packed with disadvantages, as we meet far from others leaving the European Union, as we meet nine further nations now wish to join the European Union, which is an apt comment on how the world saw Britain's decision.”

“United Kingdom once reveled, not long ago, within the memory of everyone present in this room, once reveled in being a leading member of the European Union with half a billion citizens and the undoubted first ally of the United States, the world's most eminent superpower. Today, we know we are neither, and so does the world”.

[David Arthur Gunn @davegunnar]

@Alison_S_Taylor @snp I don’t think we should be promoting the idea that sanitary products are anything to be embarrassed about. We work hard at home to talk openly and honestly with the boys and the girls about periods, girls shouldn’t have to operate in the shadows regards menstruation.

We went over to explore the beautiful verdant #temperaterainforest in South of island and collect some seeds. Sessile acorns and Aspen suckers amongst other species.
