There is no deal!!
10 times Labour voted with the Torys & Liberals.
There is no deal!!
All Labour members twice voted to put a Tory into a Ctte Convener position.
There is no deal!!
- no one believes there is no deal!
🟥=🟦=🟧
Only two votes into the new term
@FifeCouncil
and in both occasions Labour (20 seats) have been enabled by the Torys (8) and Liberals (13) to out vote the SNP (34 seats).
A conspiracy of silence between Labour and the Tory’s, won’t come as a surprise to anyone in Fife, where Labour are already in an effective coalition with the Tory’s!
- hard to believe, but absolutely true.

: "I must reemphasise the fact that there's £18 billion worth of cuts baked in, which neither the Labour Party nor the Conservative Party are being honest about.
Instead, they're having the worst of Westminster argument between them tonight."
Astonished that the Labour members
@FifeCouncil
thought any Tory was suitable to be Convener of the Education Scrutiny Committee, but this particular choice, wow, just WOW!
All Labour members present voted for the Tory!

The Lab/Tory/Lib Coalition Leader
@FifeCouncil
kept telling us today that there is no Coalition.
They then voted together to ensure 20 SNP Cllrs cld not ask questions on the Coalition Leaders report due to ‘constraints of time’.
They then agreed to have a lunch break at 11.37! 🤔
Why is
@BBCNews
creating and perpetuating a myth that the ‘far right’ have made “significant gains” in Sweden’s election.
An improved (however regrettable) of 4.9% is hardly reflective of the coverage or earth shattering.
Does the

Things you just couldn’t make up about the Tories, number 999.
Fife Tories nominate one of their own, who has been struck from the teaching register, as a suitable candidate to be Depute Convener of the Education and Children’s Services Committee! 🤐
@HolyroodDaily
Meanwhile
@FifeCouncil
Lab have an alliance with the Torys, putting 6 Torys into positions of authority and voting together 37 times in the 37 substantive votes since May’s election!
So Lab actually ‘usher’ Tory’s into power!

There were 4 votes at the Council meeting Today.
And strangely enough they managed to vote together 4 times.

SNP getting on with the day job!
The Westminster Scottish Affairs Ctte met in Kirkcaldy today.
The Ctte comprises 4 Tories, 3 SNP, 3 Lab & 1 Lib - all from Scottish Seats.
Today only the SNP MP's turned up!
While the SNP get on with the day job... where are the Tories/Lab/Libs??
@realDonaldTrump
Mmmmmmm.
Let me think.
Who do I believe?
A journalist/author who has a record of writing accurately about the workings of the White House for more than 45 yrs & 8 presidencies, or someone who lies on a daily basis?
Tough one!
Think I’m with Woodward on this one!

Update on the Lab/Tory/Lib administration deal
@FifeCouncil
Cowdenbeath Area Ctte vote for Convener today - the Tory votes for a Labour Convener.
City of Dunfermline Area Ctte - the 4 Labour Cllrs & the Tory vote in a Lib.
There are absolutely no deals of course! 🙄
🟥=🟦=🟧
@ScotTories
Strange then that your branch manager
@RuthDavidsonMSP
appears to welcome Ireland revoting on a constitutional amendment.... OK for the Irish to vote twice, but not the people of Scotland! 🤔
So the day before the campaign really begins, the Tories announce a candidate struck frm the teaching register, endorse a candidate blamed by a judge for "sabotaging" a rape trial & accuse the 72 who lost their lives in Grenfell as lacking common sense!
Nasty Party indeed! 😞

Not sure the DVLA or Police would recommend a 60 mile round trip to a castle on your wife’s birthday) as an appropriate eye test.
So Jeremy Corbyn goes after his party lost 60 of 262 MP’s and dropped 7.9% of the vote.
Yet Richard Leonard who lost 6 of 7 and dropped 8.5%, gets to stay!
Funny old world.
Delighted to have topped the poll and been re-elected to serve the communities of Glenrothes North, Leslie, Markinch, Star and Milton.
Equally delighted for my running mate

So, Ireland: is in the EU & has a Common Travel Area with the ‘UK’ pre & post brexit; shared Sterling with ‘UK’ frm 1922-1979.
And now has ‘no border’ assured post brexit.
With the right will, all of the ‘issues’ raised by unionists can be solved - & have been solved previously.

Ruth Davidson as Branch Office manager lost 2 westminster elections in Scotland, 1 Scottish Parliament election, 2 local elections & 2 European elections.
That's 7 elections in a row she lost in total. When she took over the Torys polled 13.9% in her last one they polled 11.6%.
Update on the Lab/Tory/Lib ‘There is no deal’
@FifeCouncil
Today all Lab Cllrs on both Cttes took the ‘Vote Tory’ option, when faced with an SNP/Tory option.
2 Scrutiny Cttes met to elect their Convenors/Deputes.
That’s 26 out of 26 times Lab & Tory have voted together.
@Rajdeep1
Before the Scottish local elections in May he said the same abt deals with anyone.
Yet all over Scotland his Cllrs are doing deals with Tory’s.
6 times Lab Cllrs voted Torys into positions of authority at Fife Council alone & 37 times out of 37 votes Lab/Tory have voted together.
Out and about in

Oh look, Labour have had 4 opposition days since early December (one earlier this month) and chose 8 subjects to debate.
You will be shocked that none of them was in relation to Gaza.

Dear Tories.
You had a vote on Theresa May in 2016.
How can you ask for a second vote?
Why are you allowed to change your mind but the people of Scotland and indeed the rest of the island are not?
Yours etc.

@rosscolquhoun
In Fife there have been 37 substantive votes since May’s election and Lab/Tory’s voted together in all of them. Labour voted to put 6 Torys into positions of authority and the Tory’s reciprocated.
If it walls like a duck, quacks like a duck and flys like a duck, it’s a duck.

Only one human ‘race’.
Mixed heritage might be a better phrase, if one is needed at all.
But since were all originally from East Africa, it’s probably unnecessary.
@murrayf00te
The census form used down south last year used England/English on some 73 occasions. Very peculiar - though not unusual - position from the Torys! 🤷♂️

Bertie is Ireland’s Henry McLeish, only worse.

It’s really just an appropriation of the Winter Solstice with a few (admittedly) strange and in some cases, disturbing ‘concepts’ thrown on top.
Hard to believe it’s 33 yrs ago tonight, since the Chinese army attacked peaceful students who had been demonstrating in Tiananmen Sq for nearly a month. 100’s of people died.
The struggle for democracy & human rights across the world is a long one.

One suspects Jacob never got over the drubbing the people of Fife gave him in 1997.
Almost halved the Tory vote all on his own. 📉
Fife Council budget today, additional funding is being targeted at Fife’s road infrastructure & tackling short and long-term issues related to poverty.
For the 2nd time in 4 years, the Tory's didnt manage to make any proposals at all!
