"the latest Tax Freedom Day ever recorded"

Even at the end of the Second World War, after a supreme national effort, the tax burden was lower than it is now.

Well done @ASI for keeping this in focus.

[Annabel Denham @AnnabelDenham1]

Another senior minister talking as if public spending has no cost at all.
1. They're not "free". They’re funded by the taxpayer.
2. Another hour at school, away from family, does not necessarily mean a "better day".
3. It's not 10m "easier commutes". Many will be siblings.

"Who can we tax in order to pay benefits to others?" sums up modern British politics more than any statement I've ever seen.

"We asked 100 people to name something you might hide down the side of a house. You said a motorhome...."

[Jenny Lindsay @msjlindsay]

It is not sexist, never mind 'misogyny' to question Nicola Sturgeon, who presided over the worst era of misogyny in Scotland in my lifetime, and is a cynical mistress of spin. This week's Scotsman column. Enjoy!

All these cynics saying Sturgeon must have noticed top-of-the range coffee makers and designer handbags appearing out of thin air in her home: there are a hundred innocent explanations. She probably assumed the elves were pleased with her or something.

[Joanna Cherry KC @joannaccherry]

No, it won’t cut it. He needs to address why when 3 members of the SNP finance and audit committee resigned because Murrell wouldn’t show them the books the reaction of the leadership & their lackeys was to bully the person who made the announcement rather than to investigate

@eNeecie Every other day a new motorhome appears in my mother-in-law's drive and Neil hands me another bucket full of jewellery and cosmetics. I can only assume he's got himself a part time job I'm too busy to ask about.

[Conor Matchett @conor_matchett]

Denial, distract, and delay. It's the SNP way.

It's resulted in the biggest scandal in the history of devolution and Scottish politics.

Time to stop playing the victim.

Opinion | The Peter Murrell scandal is so bad it would shame a banana republic.

Nicola Sturgeon allowing the SNP to be run by her husband after she became leader was a disgrace.

Nicola Sturgeon can't just run away. She says she had "no knowledge or suspicion" her husband was using SNP funds for "personal purposes". Where did she think the money came from then? Did she never ask? Any other spouse in the kindgom would surely have asked.

[Murdo Fraser MSP @murdo_fraser]

Peter Murrell has now admitted to stealing the best part of half a million pounds from the SNP.
Is it credible that his wife knew nothing of this? As Party leader, was she not curious?
And if the SNP can steal from themselves, what are they capable of doing to the country?

[Tom Harris 🇬🇧 @MrTCHarris]

"I once spent £400,000 of other people's money on jewellery, cosmetics and a campervan and my wife didn't know anything about it."

[Sam Taylor @staylorish]

Sturgeon wants us to believe that she was incapable of reading a balance sheet - the published SNP accounts showed indisputably that the money had gone missing. Now maybe Sturgeon really couldn’t read a balance sheet - but what about Swinney? He cannot credibly use that excuse.

[Jacob Rees-Mogg @Jacob_Rees_Mogg]

How convenient that it comes to court just after the Scottish elections. Is the whole Scottish establishment including the Court system complicit in helping the Nationalists?

[Tom McTague @TomMcTague]

The scale of the HS2 failure is a national scandal which should prompt a complete overhaul of the state. That it won’t is only further evidence of our malaise.

[Duncan Bannatyne @DuncanBannatyne]

Last week I decided to throw my support behind @AndyBurnhamGM for leadership of the Labour Party and on to PM.
But I cannot do that now that I find out he says Transwomen. IE men. Should be allowed to use the ladies toilets. I can never support anyone that does this.
