    I think the DWP deserve the criticism and rightly so, they are a Tory government department. But at the same time the SNP have had the ability to take over the welfare payment system in Scotland but have failed to so do, they have even asked the Tories to keep administering it for them on their behalf. That also deserves some criticism as well does it not? If they had the chance to take it out the hands of their tories in 2017 then they should have. They could have implemented their fairness, dignity and respect much sooner and as you say that's a good thing.

    So both the Tories and SNP could have done better on this episode.
    That will never do.

    So you want us to take over the running of a failed system, rather than taking time to get it right.

    Theirs a jolly good chap.

    Well no, but I think it's reasonable if we are to call out a failed process it's also fair to call out the Scottish Government had the ability to take over this process and completely overhaul it but has failed to do so, and has asked the failing department on this case to keep administering the payments even longer.

    No, why did the SNP not implement their own welfare payment system in 2017 when they could have?

    You know you can criticise the SNP, I don't think Nicola reads Hibs.net.

    Presumably they weren't ready. Which may be a major failing on their part (I don't know) but I'd much rather they prepare properly and take over with a fully functioning system than take over with something half-arsed that leaves recipients suffering in the meantime.

    They don't do things in a hurry - like taking over Prestwick Airport - they take their time and get it right, like payments to farmers.

    It's simple really, the system is so ****ed, it'll take a while to get it right.

    Carers payments made. Check

    Best start grants to be paid in December(6 months earlier than planned). Check

    Changes to your failed universal credit system in place. Check.

    We are only getting 15% of welfare powers, and we'll do it correctly from the start, rather than follow your failed system.

    If only the Tories had listened to us when we said the universal credit roll out was underfunded and failing.

    They didn't care, didn't listen, and decided to roll it out and cut it further.

    This is your parties policies in action, and all you want to do is shout SNP baaaad.

    We can't pay the farmers, due to the money having gone to English farmers instead. 😩

    Another Tory hijack.

    Your right, it has been a major failing on their part as they have had reasonable time to implement their own welfare system but were not ready.

    But the SNP could have implemented everything in 24 months if there had been a Yes vote in 2014. Wonder how that would have turned out.

    They've been working on this one since 2011. It might have been a lie though.

    I wouldn't be too sure about the last bit. Her husband supports Hibs so may well pass on any criticism he reads on here.
    There is no such thing as too much yarn, just not enough time.

    Standard deflection from you.

    Universal credit is underfunded, slow in paying out, and people are dying waiting.

    You seem happy with that though eh.

    I suppose that's a better excuse than the 'our expensive IT system has been a total cock up' one used in previous years.Although that wasn't an excuse. The Scottish Government had cocked up.

    And you on another thread complaining about it being hijacked.

    Oh the irony.

    It's like Tory John's got you on speed dial.

    Ah, I get it, let's pretend that didn't happen. Shhhhhhh.
    It's a thread about politicians telling lies and breaking promises isn't it? Tory, SNP.....all the same to me.

    Actually, if you go back to the original post, it's a thread that shows that while all politicians tell some lies, Tories tell almost nothing but lies!

    That's a bit harsh, surely they've just been too busy 'Locking the Tories out of No.10'. That's going extremely well.

    Of all the Snp bashing threads in all the world, and you pick this one. 😂

    I thought you'd hijacked the Jerusalem thread with your mention of unionists, and got away with it too.

    Yes, it was £160 million stolen from Scottish farmers.
