Westminster Politics

Absolute state of this:



Ah this is clearly a tactic cascaded down from Dom and his Blue Sky misfit incel team. Whenever you get challenged on some policy or failing, answer like they've actually criticised the front line workers we clapped like seals for.

I'd say I can't believe anyone falls for it but people are stupid.
 
Absolutely pathetic from Hancock, he may as well stick his fingers in his ears and shout la la la I cant hear you, everything is wonderful. Pathetic little bitch.
 
Watching Sturgeon deal with the breach of COVID-19 rules by one of her colleagues... classy leadership.

Was interesting to watch Ian Blackford this morning refusing to say she should resign. Just that she should “do the right thing”, which in effect is the same thing - and despite the leader of the party saying she should resign.

I am no fan of Sturgeon, but she’s a very effective politician.

Go home mate. There’s some good debate on here, this adds nothing.
Keep contradicting yourself mate. In future don't make silly comparisons between twitter posts and government ministers speaking in Parliament.

That would improve the quality of debate on here. You have only added nonsense, reading the last couple of pages.

oh dear, got yourself all wrapped up in such a ridiculous point, and you go on about writing nonsense. Pot kettle.

The most effective in the country, comfortably.

will be interesting to see how she handles the indy ref 2... willl she push for it straight away post brexit or use the scottish elections in 2021 as a staging post (if you vote for snp you are voting for indy ref 2)
Suspect Boris is glad she never won a seat as a Westminster MP because she would probably do a significantly better job than blackford with 2 questions at PMQ's

I could not agree more, she wouldn't stand for his blustering and evasiveness for a second.
 
No one in Westminster gives enough of a shit about Scotland to bother looking at the SNP awful record in government and Sturgeon can blame and attack the racist/xenophobic Tory Party with progressive nationalist rhetoric as cover for her failures.

She plays the role well tbf but it's not much use if you're on a NHS waiting list.

Don't understand. What did he actually say that was divisive.
The answer is perfectly simple.
Hancock does not know when it will be. So he does exactly the same as his so called leader. Not answer the entirely legitimate question and attack the person who asked it. Hancock. You are a disgrace.
 
Exactly, poor by the speaker, should have made him answer.

100% correct. It is exactly the same as during PMQs. I have written to my MP complaining about the same thing and he has told me that he will pass on my comments to the speaker.

For me it goes back to Cameron answering a question on the rise of food banks by accusing the questioner of disrespecting food Bank volunteers and then saying that it's because Labour liked to hide them. Can't find a video link but that PMQs moment is burned in my brain due to Ham Cam's utter fecking cheek/balls.

Or struggling at an underfunded school or college because the universities got all the money to build another fecking Glasgow Uni vanity project in a disused hospital. Not that I've got a grudge. Junkie cnuts.

Its Tory tactics. I predicted as much from Johnson earlier in the week:
Starmer: “You have failed to fund and support the NHS”
Boris: “I find it absolutely reprehensible that you would attack the hard working doctors, nurses and cancer patients of the NHS like that and urge you to apologise and withdraw the statement”


It gets very tiring and very boring very quickly.
 
Absolute state of this:


remember the watch her tone response to the Shadow Health Secretary? That's the tactic, attack the person asking the question. "sTop being nEgaTive, be more positive, watch your tone, divisive language '

I think he would be more than happy if she was an MP, Blackford is just a minor nuisance, all blister, and whilst she would clearly be more effective than him, it is her role as First Minister where she has power and influence, and there is no one in the SNP who could be anywhere near as effective.

Nield showed how easy it is to take her apart at the last election. Like you say, no one down here is interested enough to challenge her on anything. She gets constant free hits when she’s on UK wide TV.

especially when you compare her to the bumbling, incompetent Boris Johnson

The problem is compounded by having a new speaker, working in the role for the first time in parliament with a strong Tory majority. I fear he is toothless. Bring back Bercow!

:lol:

I don't blame people for voting for them tbh. The alternatives look god awful.

Yeah I can't see to find the interview online but I remember it as a bad one for her. I might be getting the history wrong but the left trend in the SNP is pretty new.

100%. Policy aside she is quite a good speaker and somewhat likable.

You're correct, the SNP used to be known as the Tartan Tories. Probably a bit unfair but they there was definitely a very middle class streak. The 79 Group really laid the foundation for the modern SNP, gradually turning the party to the Left.

I did vote for them last election.

Well, actually I voted Labour but my missus' very militant SNP, but otherwise nice mum thinks I voted SNP. She also hates the English for some reason so she also thinks I'm 100% Jock and that deep down I don't have the dirty blood of a Cheshire cock.

Gordon Brown hates the SNP, and I mean hates. Not going to repeat the story since everyone will be bored of it but, yeah.

Tell her if she doesn’t like it here she should feck off out of the country. That usually gets the jocks going in Scotland :-)

:lol: She's a cracking woman just don't get her started on politics. If you're English in any situation other than discussing politics you're absolutely fine. It's like a switch flips and suddenly you're anti Scottish if you don't vote for the party that think oil is the answer to everything.

I support Scottish independence, for the record. I also support independence for everyone who gets shit thrown at them by Westminster. I just wish there was another big party here that had the balls to also support a Yes vote.

This is quite similar to my situation although I always consider the SNP at the Holyrood elections as Scottish Labour are such a shower of shite.

Cheers for this.

Oh she knows you didn't.
