"... historically, as far as the English are concerned, they [the Scots] are like a turd that won’t flush. It’s like a boil that you have to keep lancing over and over again."

“... it’d be funny if Westminster gave them their independence and... later that day, you sent in the RAF and the parachute regiment and [invaded] them entirely. And that’s it – put an end to any idea of sovereignty.”

Imagine what these Reform Party psychos are saying in private.

“This election in Scotland is all about SNP failure. Our hospitals face record waiting times, standards in our schools are plummeting, the police are underfunded, and our roads are an utter disgrace."

Sue Webber's a gaslighting sour faced Tory hypocrite who thinks our heads button up the back.

This ludicrous BS is all these lightweight clowns have to offer Scotland. They're an insult to our intelligence.

Rishi Sunak’s report finds low-traffic neighbourhoods work and are popular

But the bar steward (who apparently ‘reads’ his briefs) would rather stoke anger amid misinformation in order to maintain his sh*t excuse for a maladministration.

Tory party chair signed off £10,000 top-up for deputy Lee Anderson

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2024/feb/25/tory-party-chair-signed-off-10000-top-up-for-deputy-lee-anderson

The Tory party chair, Richard Holden, actioned a £10,000 salary top-up for Lee Anderson last autumn, in a sign of how much he was valued as deputy chair.

Rewarding failure is a recurring habit for the Tory party - or has he been a failure? After all a prize fool capering around distracts the plebs from what they are really messing up in the absences of Johnson.

The UK entered the pandemic with public services "depleted" and health inequalities on the rise, the Covid inquiry has heard.

A decade of austerity leading up to 2020 meant the health of the nation was already in decline, two experts said.

Jacob Rees-Mogg suggests voter ID law was ‘gerrymandering’ that backfired on the Tories at local elections
The former Cabinet minister said the new voter ID rules prevented elderly Conservative voters from casting a ballot in the local elections

Technically it was not gerrymandering, which is changing constituency boundaries to gain electoral advantage, but we can hardly expect Rees Mogg to be able to know the definition of a word in the English language. Still, nice of him to confirm that the Tories were rigging an election.
