This is Tory Scottish Secretary Alister Jack saying that Scotland and Wales shouldn't be allowed to decide what to do on tackling covid -
He's giving evidence to the Scottish Affairs Committee today, you can watch it here - parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/b0…
I asked him about @AileenMcHarg point -
@AileenMcHarg His reply was simply that he's read it and he doesn't agree - no reasons, no arguments against. Experts are still not flavour of the month down Whitehall Way...
And this, at the end, is a split in the UK cabinet - Mr Jack doesn't agree with the Prime Minister that breaking international law is acceptable -

Continuing very high and unjustifiable spending on social media advertising by the Scotland Office - a zombie department whose only role is propaganda in Scotland for the UK Government
There's also the best part of a million pounds spent on spin doctors for a department with just three ministers
It's a big increase in social media advertising spending since 2016 -

This, it seems, is what Scottish Tories are content to have instead of leadership. Richard Lochhead was answering the Scottish Affairs Committee's questions and this was how Douglas Ross started -
This was the Minister for Further Education, Higher Education, and Science in the Scottish Government introducing his colleagues, by the way -
Nothing is gained by such behaviour; our job on committees is to look at what's going on and to see whether things are being properly managed. I think Mr Ross failed in that duty here and I think Mr Lochhead was being respectful in the way he introduced his colleagues

The UK Government has no idea how much fish is being caught in Scottish waters by EU fishing vessels. How do I know? I asked. Image
The EU Vessel List I mention in that question can be found on the UK Government's website on this page - gov.uk/guidance/unite…
So Scottish boats are tied up at the quay, fish processing firms are warning they may go out of business, and the customs chaos is still not sorted out and now we know that the UK Government isn't even paying attention to what's getting caught in our waters

Bad news for anyone in Scotland's fishing industries hoping for some action from the UK Government to help with that problem of getting their products to the European markets #BrexitChaos
It wasn't just me who got a negative response, either, @Stuart_McDonald and @neilgraysnp pressed for support for Scotland's fishing industry but the Tory Government still doesn't see the problem -
and the chaos engulfs other industries, too, as meat producers have found out - bbc.co.uk/news/business-…

Here's a story about the Canadian Military clearing unexploded munitions from the seabed around Canada - bbc.co.uk/news/av/world-…
Contrast that with the UK Government who dumped a load of weapons into the sea - independent.co.uk/news/tons-of-a…
and that included chemical weapons - naturphilosophie.co.uk/what-lies-bene…

Tens of millions of pounds, rebellious Scots to crush... heraldscotland.com/news/17759643.…
but the article says that 'just' £100,000 gets spent promoting the Union. David Mundell's bill for spindoctors alone is over £700,000 - I know because I asked the question - parliament.uk/business/publi…
probably easier with a screengrab than that link -
