🛫 As Boris Johnson sets off on his jaunt to Scotland, he'd hope people forget his catalogue of broken promises.

🔎 We thought we'd remind him.

👀 Their latest attack on workers' rights is only the most recent example of why you can't trust the Tories.

There's hardly enough space in an article to contain what Boris Johnson thinks of Scotland, devolution, Scottish spending, and the NHS... so here's a thread 👇

1⃣ Just a few months ago, Boris Johnson said devolution is "a disaster".

2⃣ While Boris Johnson seemingly liked devolution as Mayor of London, he told Tory MPs he did not "currently see a case" for devolving more powers from Westminster to Scotland and other nations.

3⃣ Boris Johnson's Leader of the Commons, Jacob Rees-Mogg, recently said that devolution amounted to "vandalism" and must be undone.

4⃣ In 2007, nearly a decade after the Scottish Parliament was re-convened - Boris Johnson's current Secretary of Scotland, Alister Jack, indicated he was opposed to devolution and the Scottish Parliament.

5⃣ In a Telegraph column, Boris Johnson said he would tell the Scots to "hop it" and attacked devolution for being "simply unjust".

6⃣In 2009, Boris Johnson said: “I do think it pretty monstrous that you get free care for the elderly in Scotland and no tuition fees"...

7⃣ Johnson also said it was "better value" to spend public money in Croydon rather than in Strathclyde - confirming his long record of contempt for Scotland.

8⃣ Just months after the 2014 independence referendum, Boris Johnson's current Foreign Secretary, Dominic Raab, tabled a motion effectively calling for the Barnett Formula to be scrapped and called it "outdated".

9⃣ That's the same Dominic Raab who ignored the rise in poverty and said food bank users "just have a cash flow problem".

Under this Tory government, child poverty and food bank use are sky-rocketing after a brutal decade of austerity.

🔟 As Boris Johnson visits Scotland in the midst of the COVID pandemic, let's not forget his views on the NHS.

In an unearthed column, he called for NHS patients to be charged, adding "if people have to pay" for NHS services, "they will value them more".

🧵 We could go on... these are just some examples of Boris Johnson's and his minister's toxic views and attitudes.

🗳 It's no wonder 20 polls in a row show majority support for Scottish independence.
