@fr4ser@MareeToddMSP@JohnSwinney Supporters of independence who are thinking of voting labour should imagine a House of Commons where Scottish MPs are subsumed in the government benches without the strong SNP group representing Scotland’s interests.
BBC Question Time
Phony democracy show we thought dead and buried, now a walking Zombie
During Thursday's BBC Question Time episode hosted by Fiona Bruce, (no relation to Robert, King of Scotland) there was a perceived bias in the treatment of the SNP member Kate (A'm No Finished) Forbes.
Multiple users expressed frustration over Bruce's frequent interruptions of Forbes, contrasting this with the treatment of other panelists. The general sentiment was that Bruce's behaviour was unprofessional, biased, and truly sucked, with some users calling for her to be disciplined or replaced by a cardboard copy.
The episode has sparked a debate on the impartiality of BBC's Question Time and the lightweight character of its host, as it does every week it is transmitted.
An unelected prime minister who asked unelected King Charles III to give unelected David Cameron a peerage so he could serve as unelected foreign secretary has attacked the House of Lords for being unelected
I just signed the petition calling on Paula Vennells, the former CEO of the Post Office to be stripped of her CBE. Will you sign too? #MrBatesVSThePostOffice https://t.co/1LZN8qhsIm via @38degrees
A short film about why the dirtiest and most antisocial economic interests dominate our politics. I believe it's the key to understanding the terrible state we're in.
Dear @RishiSunak
I passed a restaurant the other day while I was working in one of my three side jobs (which I had to take on in addition to my main work as an NHS Nurse because of your refusal to lift the salaries above inflation) and I saw people sitting in there eating and I thought:
“Oh, that’s where we went before the mini budget and energy price hikes and interest rate hikes and food price hikes . But now I am working.”
Today - while I was working - I could hear the music of a nearby music festival in London and I thought:
“Oh, that’s where we went before the mini budget and energy price hikes and interest rate hikes. But now I am working.”
Yesterday, while some of my family were at home I had to leave for work and leave them behind, like so many weekends and evenings now instead of spending time with them, precious time and I thought:
“Oh, that’s what I did before the mini budget and energy price hikes and interest rate hikes and food price hikes . But now I am working.”
And guess what I’ll do tomorrow after this weekend of work and the evenings of work?
Correct, @RishiSunak , I’m going to my full time work.
We will never forgive you and your reckless government for destroying families, health, millions of family finances, causing people having to sell their houses, causing people to work until they are completely chronically ill - just for the sake of your awful Party-politics, shameful and disgusting plans to sell off the NHS to your American mates for your mates’ and your own financial gain.
In my world you call this treason, traitor, destroyer.
You’re acting in the worst possible way towards us NHS staff and the population of this country. Can’t you see this?
I think you can.
And you’re doing it anyway.
And that’s shameful and the opposite of statesmanship and patriotism.
Please never talk about integrity or accountability again.
All that you seem to be serving is:
Your party,
Your wallet,
Your destruction of the NHS in order to burn us out and down so you can privatise and profit.
This is the the most shameful point in the history of the 75years of the NHS .
And YOU are at the centre of it, Mr Sunak.
I’m going home soon after working all Sunday in my third side job as a Nurse. That means four jobs. To pay the bills.
Maybe I’ll see other family members still before they go to bed or go out.
Maybe not.
I will never forgive what you and your government have done to all of us.
You’re not worthy of that office you’re holding. Not like that.
Think about that for a minute.
Regards,
an NHS Nurse
PS:
Your NHS workforce plan … a joke.
300000 new staff. Wow.
Funny how I can’t believe you.
How about this:
Make studying Nursing and Medicine free again like it was 25 years ago. Or still is now in other countries.
But no, you won’t because Non-Tory-voters would then be able to study.
You know the money is there for this . Billions - that you want to give to your private health company mates.
So you won’t.
You’re happy to sacrifice all our Health for the sake of your ideology.
Shame on you.

#GetTheToriesOut
This was absolutely disgraceful from the Health Secretary
She thinks uncapped bonuses for millionaire bankers is a terrific idea but the nurses who sacrificed so much to keep us safe during the pandemic should accept another crappy real terms pay cut
ABSOLUTE BOLLOCKS TO THAT!
