To be honest, I am delighted that they didn't cover it. Millions across the UK heard it live & might now understand the 'censorship by omission' that folks in Scotland have been seeing for YEARS.

, the people of Scotland ALREADY decided in 2021 Holyrood elections that they wanted another referendum
Successive Tory PMs, your London boss and now your (ahem) SINGLE Labour MP have decided that that referendum won't be "allowed" by Westminster

I "detest Tories and all they stand for" too. Thus far I don't believe I've juxtaposed any individual Tories with a convicted serial killer / paedophile, or suggested parading any naked to have excrement hurled at them

Strange - they seem to have managed to win every bloody election for the past 15 years

"one of the only humane ways"
Macron's offer of allowing Home Office staff to work in Calais sounded vastly better to me
1. 75-80% of asylum applications are successful anyhow
2. France has a rather better history of human rights than does Rwanda
Compare and contrast
right: Police Scotland raid on Murrell's house looking for evidence of £0.6M fraud - that's not even half of police vehicles that attended
left: NCA raid on Michelle Mone's house looking for evidence of £215M fraud
This tells me 2 things :
1.
@RishiSunak
knows who it is
AND
2. he knows there will be a shitstorm if we find out
So let's speculate - reply with your best guess(es) & RT to show him the public is most certainly interested
BORIS JOHNSON:

On Wednesday, why did you not vote with Labour to support the Tory manifesto commitment to ban fracking?
Yeah - I had to read that 5 times myself

@AndyGJBurge
@Conservatives
This is Nicola Sturgeon's house almost hidden by the forensics tent looking for £600K of SNP funds and some teabags
Ludicrous that a First Minister should have a detached house even after refusing ministerial pay increases since 2008
That might even be a double garage !!!
Anyone prepared to bet against the yoon media (i.e. nearly all) breaking a SNP-bad story a few days before the Rutherglen by-election?
No, thought not
If you have a vote, better get photo ID or a postal vote sorted out as this is a UK election with voter suppression built-in

"Aye. Fine. Okay, but are yous a protestant atheist or a catholic atheist"
Emily Thornberry MP-
"I Hate the SNP"
The voice of British Labour.
Bearing in mind the SNP are overwhelmingly democratically elected by the 🏴 people, Emily is essentially declaring a hatred for OUR democratic choices, it's an accusation that we don't know what we vote for.

Some tweets saying that preferential trading terms, for one part of the UK over another, breaches the 1707 Acts of Union

Oh look…
It’s a clip from Jan this year
Of Rees-Mogg saying a General Election is needed if Johnson is ousted.
Now that he’s backing Liz Truss
And now that he’s expecting a role in her Govt
Who’s willing to bet he’s changed his simple little mind?

They are not Scottish
It is not a newspaper

@GyllKing
Tesco also regularly bankrupt their suppliers
- 90 day payment terms on invoices
- supplier has to fund 2-for-1 special offers (& pay for signage)
- large penalties if they can't supply agreed quantities - this leads to over-borrowing to increase capacity - then Tesco cur price

Too many predictions apply a national polling figure across Scotland and it doesn't work like that
Scottish Labour go into coalitions and election pacts with TORIES ... put that into your algorithm

Are you describing the former LibDem, anti-monarchist, Remainer Truss?

She can call them clarifications but they were actually U-turns

@AndrewBowie_MP
Talking of manifesto ...
I see you voted with the Govt last night which means you voted for exactly the OPPOSITE of what your manifesto said on fracking
Care to comment?
@StuartAndrew
Can you give us numbers for how often this happens please. I've seen 7 times across 20 years
In fact smaller numbers than current Tory MPs on sexual assault charges
So can we agree that this is not about protecting our vote ... it basically fascism
@Douglas4Moray
It is Scottish Govt's case, not the SNP's
That's the wee parliament in Edinburgh which you sometimes attend when your London masters allow it
ScotGov is delivering on the manifestos by which SNP and Greens won a majority of MSPs
You know all of this but prefer to TROLL instead

Maybe it is something to do with Cost of Living crisis and energy costs when Scotland is most energy-rich country in Europe?
If you vote Tory in Jun 23rd by-elections, you are complicit in this headlong rush to fascism. A vote for ANYONE else will hasten a change of tenancy in Downing Street. To paraphrase Boris's hero ... Never was so much f*cked up so quickly by so few for so many for so long.

Critically, that forces the accused to provide evidence that their wealth was obtained legally

Unlikely IMHO
What it DOES do, importantly, is force all Tory MPs to admit that they aren't now waiting on anything before writing to 1922 Committee. If they don't do it, they are fully complicit in this headlong rush to fascism.
You know they will want to wait ... 1/2
