Did Labour at WM duel the A9..No, Did the Tories at WM duel the A9...No, Did Labour at HR duel the A9..No, Did the Labour/Lib-Dems at HR duel the A9..No. Funny how much time Unionist parties spend talking about duelling the A9, but when they had the power, did nothing about it

What a contrast- Màiri McAllan-the adult in the room
Unlike the childlike, arrogant, rude ultra rehearsed antics of desperate Sarwar, the odious Offord and Russell Findlay trying still to find some/any semblance of relevance.
A must watch 👇👏👏👏
SCOTTISH Labour leader Anas Sarwar and UK Health Secretary Wes Streeting, MP Gregor Poynton, minister Michael Shanks, and MSP candidate Michael Marra have been warned by the official statistics watchdog after claims about the Scottish NHS risked “misleading the public”.
Here I am doing my 'man of the people' act with a permanently full pint in the hope that everyone will forget that I'm actually a privately educated, rich, greedy, entitled, selfish, bone-idle, grifting gobshite.
Hi @ChrisMasonBBC - why are you ignoring this bloke's dodgy tax stuff?
Have you got to the bottom of Farage's house-buying confusions yet, or his crypto dealings?

Same day GP
95% seen within 4 hours in A&E
No queuing ambulances
92% specialist treatment within 18 weeks
85% started cancer treatment within 62 days
It’s not the NHS model that’s the issue, it’s our choice of leadership!
