@Andrew_Adonis Values, norms and rampant brainwashing may have changed/distorted people's judgement today BUT I recognise every individual on your list, yourself included, as a bona-fide politician and parliamentarian - the same cannot be said for all MPs and MSPs today!
@Andrew_Adonis One amendment: Scotland currently has chosen the best FM for our times.
Your choice for FM appears fixated on ideology that has been overtaken by Scotland's position today.
What has happened cannot be swept aside because the years since EU Ref 2016 are now part of UK's history.
@Andrew_Adonis Your list might even be construed as a blueprint for a Government of National Unity, with replacements for those now departed.🤔
Clearly, from evidence in abundance, the UK cannot continue to limp along from one disaster to another, whilst capitalist vultures get richer! 🤑😎🤡
@Andrew_Adonis p.s. Any thoughts on the team for Stormont, even in the short-term?
@Andrew_Adonis What criteria do you use as the litmus test of calibre and performance of today's MPs and MSPs?
Do they measure up - or are "the people" being short changed?
@Andrew_Adonis Rather more importantly, are the leadership skills and personal characteristics and attributes of individuals; enhanced by life experiences.
@Andrew_Adonis BTW #Johnson ought not to have access to influence/indoctrinate the thoughts and beliefs of children - they are the hopes, dreams and architects for future generations.
"Johnson insulted 150,000 Covid dead in praising a lieutenant who failed to keep his hands, face and space from a married aide while lecturing against casual sex."
"The gutter standards of the Prime Minister are why dishonourable Robert Jenrick, bully Priti Patel and utterly useless Gavin Williamson survive in a Cabinet of nodding dogs."
While people vote for #LiarJohnson & TOXIC Tories ☠️, keeping him in power, we are ALL in the gutter!
"Yet the loss of Hancock after No 10 loftily declared Johnson considered the matter closed was the moment the PM’s influence peaked."
"Five years on from the Brexit vote, the most remarkable outcome is the way in which voters have defined themselves by their decision on 23 June 2016."
"It is something that John Curtice identified early and has repeated time and again as he is invited to analyse election and by-election results: the UK is divided far more between ‘Leavers’ and ‘Remainers’ than between Labour, Conservative and the Scottish National Party (SNP)."
"The reason the Brexiteers ‘keep on winning’ is that nothing has changed since 2016 in terms of the underlying causes of the British catastrophe."
Alas... “Among major economies, the United Kingdom may well be the biggest casualty of the pandemic,” Credit Suisse said.
The suffering from this tragedy will always be felt but there is hope of a future where greater awareness and responsibility for the effect of actions on others, can help prevent a reoccurrence of similar circumstances.
Whilst many might wish to achieve closure, this cannot be at the expense of others nor can it be through oversimplification of events and the role played by everyone involved directly or even indirectly, as the public unwittingly were, as consumers of media.
"The UK produces more plastic waste per person than almost any other country in the world, and many of us spend time carefully sorting our recycling."
"The government claims that almost half of the UK’s plastic packaging gets recycled, but that simply isn’t true."
"Well over half of the household plastic packaging the government claims is recycled is sent abroad, most of it going to countries with very low recycling rates and a serious problem with plastic waste being dumped or burned illegally."
