Absolutely nothing. All they do is ask questions about the Scottish Government and use Parliamentary opportunities to attack the SNPeee. Most will be one term MPs. heraldscotland.com/opinion/253210…
It's going to be another long hot summer in many parts of England. The general political/media consensus is immigration is a bad. Those coming to the UK seeking asylum are to be demonised and 'returned'. The debate is hostile. The response predictable. bbc.co.uk/news/live/cj4e…
The real world impacts of the UK Government's anti Scottish immigration policies mean that care packages are withdrawn and whole sectors suffer. What the UK is serving up for Scotland is as economically nonsensical as it is morally bankrupt. thenational.scot/news/25336494.…
My last word on 'Waterlie'. The UK Government know that we rely on our good reputation on water for our whisky industry and tourism but are still quite happy to lie about our water quality to talk down Scotland and oppose nationalisation in England. thenational.scot/politics/25333…
We don't seek skilled immigration to Scotland because of some nonsense about 'political advantage'. We seek it because if we don't our demographics and impending workforce crisis will heavily impact on our economy along with our public services. thetimes.com/uk/scotland/ar…
Fantastic from Stephen. I think their lies will end here.
Why are Labour talking down Scotland?
I think everybody is getting thoroughly sick of the UK Government constantly lying about Scotland. thenational.scot/news/25332487.…
70% of Scottish businesses support a Scottish visa but Scottish Labour says "No". Not because of the Scottish interest but because their bosses in UK Labour obsess about immigration numbers and any perception of being 'soft' on the issue heraldscotland.com/news/25325737.…
Farage should have been pulled a part on this as well as his utter rubbish on 'net zero'. But as always the free ride is given. @bbclaurak
Worth every penny......
PM Keir Starmer's chief of staff Morgan McSweeney is highest paid special adviser, government figures show bbc.in/44TWc9U
My Perthshire Advertiser article. As the whole community in Perth support those impacted by the fire I'm doing all I can to get support where needed. Also it's now time to get behind the PH2O proposals. There's been enough debate and prevarication. It's now time to get it done.

At last, and only after the SNP introducing this 10 years ago. All the campaigning to get the UK to follow our lead has finally paid off. bbc.co.uk/news/live/c93k…
Brian lost the whip because he had the temerity to vote against welfare cuts to try and protect the most vulnerable in his constituency. This is what Starmer's Labour does.
Labour rebel Brian Leishman has lost the party whip amid a clear out of MPs by Keir Starmer thenational.scot/news/25318952.…
Labour decide to keep the devolution crushing Internal Market Act because like the Tories they want to have the last say on what Scotland can and can not do. thenational.scot/news/25314989.…
Their 'one in one out deal' with France will do absolutely nothing to smash the gangs or stop people coming. But what it does do is establish 'classes' of the wretched. Those that may qualify for consideration and those who don't. Safe routes are what's required.
Absolutely hilarious, and I don't think we'll be taking any advice from them. But finally a route to Parliament for the Albists. A place in the House of Lords certainly gets them over their tricky never being elected to anything problem..... thetimes.com/uk/scotland/ar…
One of the few good things about modern consumerism is you don't have to watch things you don't want to. Just like you don't have to buy the Spectator.....
So, we exported Marxism to Ethiopia and it starved to death – and now we had the temerity to add Spandau Ballet, Phil Collins and Nik Kershaw on top ✍️ Gareth Roberts: How Live Aid ruined pop music spectator.co.uk/article/how-li…
Watching #LiveAid40 and will never forget watching it first time round and thinking live performance will never get better than this and in so many ways it hasn't. Practically everybody there will be over 60 now. There was never a generation more in tune than the 80s.
I knew a Stranger in an Island once....
EXCL: Starmer insists he still believes in the sentiment behind his “island of strangers” warning - and that Britain must be an “integrated society”. PM clarifies he does not regret the speech, just that particular phrase because of Powell similarity. thesun.co.uk/news/35805873/…
The right wing metropolitan view about immigration is forever foisted on the whole of the UK as if there is some sort of 'national' consensus. The fact is that the UK's immigration policy is contrary to the Scottish interest. thenational.scot/news/25308017.…
