Douglas MacD

Scottish executive. Pro common sense. Anti Labour, SNP & Green failure. Business minded. Debate welcome.

A Sunday Times survey showed sickness had increased by between 20-40% in hospitality and cleaning firms since Labour decided employees should be entitled to sickness payments from day one.
Socialists love encouraging idleness. And then sending the bill to those that don’t.

[Douglas MacD @DMacdugg]

@afneil Tough but necessary questions put to the incoming PM. He will have more pressing matters to deal with such as the wallpaper for the new No10.

[Douglas MacD @DMacdugg]

@EJWoolf @UK_Massive I feel genuinely sorry for these poor oppressed women. Why do they stand for it ?

[Douglas MacD @DMacdugg]

@GBNEWS @MartinDaubney Utterly predictable. That’s woke for you. Only acceptable if you agree with their ideology.

[Douglas MacD @DMacdugg]

@LBC I can’t wait. He will fall on his arse soon.

[Douglas MacD @DMacdugg]

@DanielTStocks @KonstantinKisin Idiots will be idiots. No clue as to the macro economics of this society we live in

[Douglas MacD @DMacdugg]

@KonstantinKisin I’m far from rich but probably well off. That’s taken me many years in business to get here. For the first ten years I earned less than the people that worked for me. I also had to remortgage my house twice. In one occasion so that I could meet the wage bill.

[Douglas MacD @DMacdugg]

@BruceUnfiltered Says the man who persecuted post masters. He should be ashamed but won’t be. These types never are.

[Douglas MacD @DMacdugg]

@spikedonline Simple answer. Because they wanted to.

[Douglas MacD @DMacdugg]

@steverichards14 YouGov Poll; This latest poll finds Burnham’s popularity has receded to -11 once again, with 32% having a positive opinion of him and 43% a negative one (this latter figure being the highest to date).”

[spiked @spikedonline]

If Andy Burnham was serious about ‘rebalancing power’, he would pull us out of the ECHR. He would scrap any global treaty that prevents us from controlling our borders. He would clamp down on activist judges. But we know he won’t, says Brendan O’Neill

Hiding from the press. Banning journalists. Welcome to Manchester Communism 101

King of the North gives a speech to announce exactly nothing https://t.co/GFMOkJiaCD

[Kevin Schofield @KevinASchofield]

Andy Burnham - who is set to become PM next month without a leadership contest, after 9 years away from Westminster, and less than a month after becoming an MP again - is making his first big policy speech this morning and refusing to take questions from journalists after it.

Not good at all.

[Skipster @FarRightSkip]

This you?

[Douglas MacD @DMacdugg]

@triffic_stuff_ He won’t take questions as it would expose his lack of depth when probed.

[Douglas MacD @DMacdugg]

@AndrewHWestern Would that be like a prime minister who didn’t get the vote of the people via a general election?

[Douglas MacD @DMacdugg]

@SkyNews @TrevorPTweets I can only gauge this by my circle if friends. I’d say the public do want a general election. We had a straw poll among six of us at the pub. We also tested a couple of still sober others at the bar. The consensus was 100% in favour of a GE. Also 100% in favour of Reform

[Jim Spence @JimSpenceDundee]

The ‘rot’ is easily explained. A party full of folk earning salaries and perks which their limited abilities couldn’t dream of in any other environment. They’ll acquiesce in any lie and suffer any indignity to maintain that. They also know that as long as they can convince just enough folk that everything is the fault of the UK or the English, their seats on the Holyrood gravy train are secure in perpetuity.
