Hilarious response. One could almost take it that you're being oversensitive. ๐Ÿ˜‚

It's OK, we'll allow you not to have to wear a suit in our presence if you tell us how to deal with drones from Iran.

We paid an ex-Tory MP to lobby for our fake Chinese firm - and authorities did nothing Investigation finds no rules were broken. It just goes to show how few rules there are.

Last week, UK lobbying regulator closed investigation into ex Tory MP Ben Howlett

We offered Howlett money to work for a fake Chinese investor. He introduced us to a dozen Labour MPs

Regulator didn't even speak to us. Our system is broken

"Those who contribute less will have to wait longer to apply." says Mahmood.

What measure should be applied to judge the value of an immigrant's contribution?

The few already qualified surgeons saving lives or the many care workers looking after thousands of grannies and grandpas?

Securing Scottish independence is the way. Labour will continue to make their promises and fail to deliver them.

Partner of Labour MP arrested on suspicion of spying for China He is one of three unnamed men who the Met Police suspect of assisting Chinese intelligence services in the UK.

When Peter Murrell was arrested the bbc & Sky News immediately set up an encampment at Nicola Sturgeonโ€™s home, and put a helicopter above to provide continuous live TV footage about the โ€œarrest of Nicola Sturgeonโ€™s husbandโ€

When itโ€™s Labour, no names, no TV footage

And we are protecting free bus travel for under-22s, over-60s and disabled people.

Lines etched on a window at Wingateโ€™s Inn, Stirling, 26 August 1787
Robert Burns

Here Stewarts once in triumph reignโ€™d,
And laws for Scotlandโ€™s weal ordainโ€™d;
But now unroofโ€™d their Palace stands,
Their Sceptreโ€™s fallโ€™n to other hands;
Fallโ€™n indeed, and to the Earth
Whence grovelling reptiles take their birth.
The injurโ€™d STEWART-line are gone,
A Race outlandish fills their throne:
An idiot race, to honour lostโ€”
Who know them best despise them most.

In Stirling, possibly while fu, Robert Burns wrote these lines on a window at Wingateโ€™s Inn, Stirling. In 1787 this kind of anti-Hanoverian #poem could be seen as treasonous, & he went back later & smashed the glass โ€“ but not before someone had copied it down

Scottish Labour MP issues statement after husband arrested in China spy probe SCOTTISH Labour MP Joani Reid has said she is โ€œnot part of my husbandโ€™s business activitiesโ€ after he was arrested on suspicion of spying forโ€ฆ

Parachuted into a Labour seat in Scotland after eight years in a London council and husband arrested for spying for the Chinese? The perfect choice for Labour MP.

Of course, the Statement has been made largely irrelevant with the Middle East war seeing a complete change to the cost of energy.
Meantime Wee Dougie happily quotes UK growth figures for this and the coming years as 'calculated' months ago.
Kate not given the opportunity to respond on such fiction.

BBC Radio Scotland interview Scots Sec Dougie Alexander re the Chancellor's Spring Statement covering all budget heads. Criticism is made of Scots spending, partic ferries.
Kate Forbes is then interviewed. No questions on the Statement's effect on Scottish budget. No, it was all about the ferries.

Successive Westminster governments slow to admit their utter stupidity.

Scotland can do much better than this UK bรนrach.
With independence our lives & those of our children can be more secure, more prosperous & part of the EU in our own right like Ireland & Denmark.
