"SNP have accused Conservative government of “shafting” Scotland as it emerged the European Union has awarded Ireland almost €1 billion (£850m) for compensation for Brexit, while Scotland has been given just £172 million from a UK fund set up to succeed a major Brussels scheme."
"The party said that ahead of the EU referendum in 2016, leading Brexiteers Boris Johnson and Michael Gove promised that the Scottish Government would be given £1.5bn in funding."
"Vote Leave campaign’s main leaflet in Scotland said: "Scotland sends more than £1.5 billion, a year to Brussels."

A much BIGGER LIE than the £350 million on the little 'ol red bus!!

"The big risk for the Conservatives, which they appear blissfully unaware of, is that by attacking the devolution settlement and traducing the promises made to Scotland in 2014 in an effort to secure a No vote,"
"...they are weakening even further an already fatally damaged set of arguments which the Better Together campaign deployed in that year's referendum."
"Following their British nationalist and xenophobic Brexit, the Conservatives have rendered totally implausible the argument that a No vote is a vote against nationalism."

"Johnson’s brief time as foreign secretary was not regarded as a success. Indeed, we have little proof that he has a clear idea of what he thinks UK foreign policy should be, other than to leave the European Union, which he has achieved."
"The pandemic has understandably occupied much government bandwidth, yet without it we would still be shackled with a Cabinet unable or unwilling to speak truth to power."
"There is a broader cost to this malaise, and to Raab’s dereliction of duty in reportedly not making the call to try and save the lives of Afghan interpreters who have assisted British troops."

@Andrew_Adonis Regrettably, essential truck drivers needed for transport of food and supplies to UK have heeded the message of hate and rejection, not to mention the endless Brexit red-tape!

Who can blame them?!?

I can't help wondering what #LiarJohnson and UK Government can be thinking!?!
@Andrew_Adonis Jus' wait 'ere a cotton pickin' minute!
@Andrew_Adonis If there aint no food supplies bein' delivered...does this mean there's no food for pickin' and packin'...or does it mean there are no pickers doin' the pickin' and no packers doin' the packin'...

However, #ToxicTories☠️ might try to spin the financial gains by ministers and ex-ministers, the outcomes are derived from the political choices of Tory UK Governments!

A day in politics can be very loooooooooooong!

It is now 'CRYSTAL CLEAR' why #May appeared to overuse this phrase when speaking - it was to check NOT the IQ but the EQ of the audience!

One assumes all parties present are adults since this is a pre-requisite to be a politician!
"Angry… but it’s a strange situation where the First Minister is effectively arguing that reporters and politicians are stupid for taking what she says at face value, and even more stupid if they ask for clarification later."

Seems 'crystal clear' to me!!
All would be 'crystal clear' if audience really listened and asked pertinent questions on content of conferences when given chance to do so, instead of playing infantile party politics or chasing tomorrow's headlines!

LIFE is deadly serious NOT a continuous political campaign!

"Boris Johnson has called for greater devolution across England as a way to boost his “levelling up” agenda, urging towns and counties to approach Downing Street with ideas as to how they can boost their local economies."

🤣🤣🤣
"Humpty Dumpty had a great fall, All the king's horses and all the king's men, Couldn't put Humpty together again. He fell off the wall* - from the highest high - so high!"

*Red or Blue - is of no consequence!!

"“Come to us with your vision about how you will level up,” Johnson said in a somewhat freewheeling speech in Coventry, one which spent considerable time detailing the problems of regional inequality, but had few immediate policies."
