Next week I'll move an amendment to the Elections Bill, encouraging trials of automatic voter registration in schools, colleges and universities

@atrupar So, Israel and the USA cause hurricanes.

@ScottishLabour I doubt that the brass/plastic name plate on the room in Aberdeen cost £125 million

@Daily_Record You mean that Scots budgets cuts under Westminster Labour are less severe than under Westminster Conservatives.

@bandit12blue @ITV Many people have fucked those in the monarchy. Most did very well out of it!

@ScotNational While we are in the UK, it might be worth considering calling LVT the "Council Tax", in order to avoid Westminster putting obstacles to its introduction. ScotGov could raise a levy on the increased council revenue to fund the reduction in income tax that it could introduce.

@frank_kerr @DougChapmanSNP @Kennyaberdeen @pixieviglione No need to employ a receptionist. Calls will be automatically transferred to Salford.

@SaulStaniforth You mean that the English Education Secretary has announced cash for English schools to provide nursery places. There will be Barnett consequentials for NI, Wales, Scotland to spend on their priorities.

@only_ohm_again On the web, of course.

@BlackIslePMD @Innealadair Correct. Scotland would be better to have publicly owned and/or regulated electricity grids - but selling reliable and continuous power to England is just as worthwhile as selling whisky to the USA.

@Channel4News There are - but why is the UK arming one side?

@BrochBairn @theAliceRoberts RC schools obviously differ in that respect, but even supposedly non-denominational schools can have a lot of religion peddled, if the HT is so inclined.

@brawday She can't be an envoy FOR the "nations and regions", unless they appointed her. She will be Downing St's envoy TO the "nations and regions" and, perhaps, relieve Starmer from the tiresome business of actually conversing with the FMs and Mayors, after the initial meeting.

@BallotBoxScot Looking at the Preference Profile report, it seems that a higher proportion than normal cast no 2nd preference, so most of the 20% turnout were loyal party supporters?

[oldnat (Dave Taylor - Extremist, undermining UK) @theoldnat]

@TomlinJeanne A fair assumption. Few understand heraldic language - even if you said "white", not "while"! (couldn't find a "sticking out tongue" emoji 😀)
Maybe just use "blue and white band"?

@TheCanaryUK Just as well that DWP staff will have no control over the equivalent Scottish payments.

@STVNews Pity that they are totally shit at dealing with a simple allegation of fraud in a single organisation.

[oldnat (Dave Taylor - Extremist, undermining UK) @theoldnat]

@GeorgeMonbiot Interesting - but why does the Guardian talk about this problem being "in Britain", when it is restricted to England & Wales? E&W are certainly "in Britain", but so is Scotland, and a London paper would never describe a particularly Scots issue in that way.

[oldnat (Dave Taylor - Extremist, undermining UK) @theoldnat]

@SaulStaniforth Unfortunately. Labour are also a "party that represents the interests of the ruling class"

[oldnat (Dave Taylor - Extremist, undermining UK) @theoldnat]

@redskyatnight He may have meant the Korean war, or Vietnam, or Suez, or Kenya, Malaysia - or so many others!
