I expected that kind of reply, what’s your excuse for our SNP MSP’s? The majority of them are at it as well. Didn’t wee nippy have to have a word with them a couple of years ago. All the parties are at it but you’d think the SNP mob were lily white reading the stuff on here.

So the record claim is over £250,000 while the second link has it at less than £100,000. At least one of them is telling porkies 😂

I noticed that the second link has the MP in the record article on £89,403 expense claims!!

[hibsbollah]

It sounds like the new Health and Care bill will be presented to the Commons on Tuesday. At no point are the words ‘we are selling off the NHS’ going to be uttered, but watch this space. It all depends on how it’s reported, but if it’s widely apparent that a wee sneaky acceleration to the (already underway) sell off happens, at these times of all times, and they stick with a 1% pay rise, and the Tories poll ratings STILL stay high, everybody may as well pack up and let them get on with it.

The chancellor should take the opportunity this autumn to replace the triple lock with a smoothed earnings link. This would mean the state pension would rise in line with the living standards of working-age people – a change that would be fair to all generations.”

What that means they want the state pension to fall in line with living standards of the workers.

I hope the owners sue and take cases against whoever authorised that raid. That was a show of power and is the way England is heading. So many signs of Fascism with this government and trying to suppress the arts would be another one ticked off the Fascist Bingo Card.

The sculpture was designed by and built by an extinction rebellion person. It was similar to one used to block access to the murdoch media empire. It is all in the article I linked to in the post above if you bothered to read it.

I don't think anyone was charged. The Police are the stormtroopers of the government. Breaking the law has very little to do with being targeted by them. It is more likely the way you think or the colour of your skin that determines how much attention and brutality the Police direct towards you rather than if you committed an offence.

I'd imagine, if the structure was previously used to commit an offence, there may be some concerns that it would be used for the same purpose again. Like being in possession of a gun previously used in a murder.

The similar construction used by Extinction Rebellion to block the roadways around Murdochs printing facilities was quite possibly illegal, public right of way and all that sort of stuff.

Having it on the roof of a building isn't going to get in anyones way. I'm not even sure, as a temporary structure, it would fall foul of local building regulations any more than those folk that cover their homes with Christmas decorations.

Yes, a 4 billion cut to the foreign aid budget is just cruel for the sake of being cruel and panders to the ignorant. They are perfectly happy giving tax cut s to multi-millionaires, but reduce the amount we put aside for some of the poorest people on the planet. It isn't at all surprising from that mob.

Patel is no stranger to flak but on this occasion I'd venture to say Mings is off the mark. Her views on taking the knee chime with many, including black sportsmen and women. It's been phased out by an increasing number of teams including Scotland and I think he's playing the Tory minister here not the ball. I respect England for sticking with it as it clearly had a unifying effect but it's far from a universally backed gesture for tackling racism.

I think you’ve hit the nail on the head. The money saved will not be spent helping the people in this country that need it most, it will be spent lining the pockets of party donors and personal friends. The staggering amount of money that’s been wasted during the pandemic could’ve lifted a huge number of people out of poverty without cutting foreign aid.

John Major giving the government a good kicking over the foreign aid cut. When even grandees of the centre right like May and Major are getting so shrill you know we’re being run by REAL extremists.

Still, at least it’s not Corbyn.

Also, keep an eye on the coverage (or non coverage) of the health and social care bill, the next step of the NHS sell off-by-stealth.

Edit, should add, the Scot Gov could of course mitigate by cost cutting elsewhere.

“Alongside the alarming drafting on rights to hospital care, the performance targets imposed by the bill scrap the 18-week target for waiting times, mentioning only a target of 52 weeks, for example.

Pollock and Roderick also point out that it scraps the “responsibility” the government has to arrange healthcare for each of us in England and replaces it with a – seemingly undefined, but presumably more restricted – “core responsibility” for uncertain “groups of people”. It also gives the health secretary the power to water down the requirement for staff to be properly trained and qualified.”

The parallels are very similar to what's going on here. The illegal proroguing of parliament, The union jackery, the One Britain thing in Schools, almost total control of the media, the banning of right to protest and other Draconian changes to law, the culture of xenophobia and treatment of immigrants.......etc, etc.

It might be slightly more subtle but that's only because they haven't got the uniforms yet.

Anyone with a decent understanding of history should be extremely worried about all these little changes to the democratic weights and measures to democracy.

Boris Johnson: "If you're guilt of antisocial behaviour and you're sentenced to unpaid work, I don't see any reason why you shouldn't be out there in one of those fluorescent-jacketed chain gangs visibly paying your debt to society

Your in good company. Mps from both sides of the bench and thousands of other normal people have been showing their disgust.

It's populist nonsense designed to please the masses. Back to the old days, non-evidence based conservatism. Every other country bar America and a few other authoritarian states have realised.

The example here is about anti social behaviour though. Not really a group of offences commonly associated with career criminals.

Why are the right always desperate to humiliate the young, poor etc. Why are punishments like this not being doled out to speeders, tax dodgers etc?

[Ozyhibby]

Prisoners should be allowed to apply for real jobs in the real economy. They can repay their debt to society by paying tax on their wages. As soon as possible they should be on an electronic tag as well. It’s still a restriction of their Liberty but is not as destructive as prison.
Prison itself should only really be used for the most violent and repeat offenders. Electronic tag should be used for the vast majority of offenders.

Can’t be long before a Tory donor wins the contract to operate these chain gangs. This slave labour will then be put to graft on lucrative contracts earning millions of pounds.

Tory lead down to 3% with Opinium.

**** knows how they have a lead, let alone anyone voting for them.

8 point lead with you gov. Starmer has lower approval ratings than Corbyn, despite a favourable press. It’s not working.

Snow White, Superman and Pinocchio are walking along the road.

They see a sign: "Contest for World's Most Beautiful Woman." Snow White goes in, later comes out smiling, wearing a crown.

They walk along and see another sign: "Contest for World's Strongest Man." Superman goes in, later comes out smiling, wearing the belt.

They walk along and see a sign: "Contest for World's Greatest Liar." Pinocchio says "This one's for me", goes in, later comes out with his head down crying. "Who the hell is Boris Johnston?" Pinocchio sobs.
