Imagine being a Labour member or voter knowing that the party voted against an extension of the furlough scheme with the Tories and ensuring hundreds of thousands of job losses
Shambles of a party
@PhantomPower14@BBCScotNine@BBCJamesCook There is something very strange & uncanny living through this bit of history, when the state broadcaster suppresses political news in this way. And you can't help wondering do they really think that people won't notice what they're doing & how desperate they must be? #BBCblackout
We shouldn't be surprised but it's incredible all the same. @BBCScotNine has indulged in ‘bias by omission’ once again by completely blanking the Internal Market Bill that threatens Scotland's democracy and undermines devolution. Has @BBCJamesCook given up on serious journalism?
@andrew_graeme Yeah meanwhile, the Labour Party just voted with the Tories to end the furlough scheme. Which is going to definitely increase unemployment.
The problem with this piece is that the individual words mean things. But when put together they are a messy word soup of nonsense.
The gist appears to be that Holyrood needs to work closer with Boris Johnson and his cruel and incompetent gang in order to address unemployment.
It's the people of Scotland v the fascist UK Govt- no foreign power will step in to save the day and ensure international law is upheld, it's completely up to us, and the sooner this sinks in the better. We won't achieve Scottish Independence unless we make it happen ourselves 🏴
Why are TV licenses paying Zoe Ball £1M+ a year.... Why?
There are food banks in Scotland. Can we not stop people starving to death in a flat in Glasgow first?
Ursula von der Leyen: 'This Withdrawal Agreement took 3 years to negotiate. We worked relentlessly on it line by line, word by word...we will never backtrack on that. It can't be unilaterally changed, disregarded or misapplied. This is a matter of law and trust and good faith.'

Public Health Professor @LindaBauld says the daily briefing has been a crucial source of information for some groups of people. #bbcdn
Any labourer jobs going around the Kirkcaldy/Fife/Edinburgh area? Been out of work for a few weeks now and the stress is getting the better of me. Valid cscs card (needs to be reordered) and valid asbestos certificate. Any RT appreciated✌🏽.
Now pass-readers aren’t working in either voting lobby so we see the Rees-Mogg conga in all its glory - with obvious crowding in members lobby & total failure of social distancing! Interesting that wearing of #Facecoverings limited to Welsh, NI & Scots MPs.
I am hearing more and more about the long term effect of Covid, it isn't "just" the infection, so many people have fatigue or breathing problems months later. Don't risk your health or that of others and PLEASE WEAR A MASK
So Lord Keen followed through. Resigned. Puts the six Tory MP's in Scotland in the spotlight...in particular why did Douglas Ross MP not ask for Lord Keen's legal opinion before voting in favour of breaking international law and compromising Scots Law... ?
