"SNP have accused Conservative government of “shafting” Scotland as it emerged the European Union has awarded Ireland almost €1 billion (£850m) for compensation for Brexit, while Scotland has been given just £172 million from a UK fund set up to succeed a major Brussels scheme."
"The party said that ahead of the EU referendum in 2016, leading Brexiteers Boris Johnson and Michael Gove promised that the Scottish Government would be given £1.5bn in funding."
"Vote Leave campaign’s main leaflet in Scotland said: "Scotland sends more than £1.5 billion, a year to Brussels."

A much BIGGER LIE than the £350 million on the little 'ol red bus!!
"That's £30 million every single week - enough to hire nearly 1,400 NEW nurses, or build a state-of-the art secondary school every week of the year ... If we Vote Leave, we can spend our money on OUR priorities. We can invest in the NHS, build NEW schools and fix local roads."
"Scotland voted by 62% in the EU referendum to remain but left with the rest of the UK in January 2020."
"Brexit has had a negative impact on many people's lives. Within the EU, it is the people in Ireland who feel it the most," cohesion and reform commissioner Elisa Ferreira said.
"The EU's Brexit Adjustment Reserve stands for solidarity with those most affected. In moving forward, we don't want to leave anyone behind," she added.

Don't leave Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 behind!!

"The Scottish Government wants Scotland to rejoin the EU as an independent member state."

"Hart asked if the Scottish Government was “capable of working with the UK Government to achieve the best possible outcomes for Scotland”."
Jack said: “I would say yes, it is capable, and yes, it will work for us because noone ever turned down money – free money.” 🤑

"“Hundreds if not thousands” of messages from MPs – many on behalf of fearful constituents – were not read until the operation ended and the criteria for selecting the lucky few for a flight out of Kabul was not clearly defined, he claims."
"An email in Marshall’s name was sent to FAC chair Tom Tugendhat MP, who had served in Afghanistan, assuring him that the 10 cases he’d sent were being processed. Marshall says that was a lie and the note to Tugendhat was “written by committee”."
"Details of Tugendhat’s interpreter, whose case was higlighted in parliament, could not be found and “must have been lost somewhere in the FCDO system”."

"Corruption is a word used nervously in the UK. We’re quite happy applying it to other countries; but in Britain even critics of the status quo can be surprisingly reluctant to describe as corrupt our society’s tight, often concealed circulation of power and rewards."
"Johnson’s response – “I genuinely believe that the UK is not remotely a corrupt country” – has been floridly unconvincing even by his standards."
"Most voters disagree with him. According to YouGov, 80% think there is “a lot” or “a fair amount” of corruption in British politics, and only 1% think there is none . Since the corruption controversy took off, the Tories have dropped in the polls."

@RobboCam73 "The UK is at the helm of a global network of tax abuse by multinational corporations and wealthy individuals, which costs the world $483bn a year and hits low-income countries the hardest."
@RobboCam73 "The latest report by the Tax Justice Network found that the UK leads the OECD in its contribution to global tax loss, inflicting $68.2bn of annual tax loss on other countries, 14 per cent of the global total."

"The big risk for the Conservatives, which they appear blissfully unaware of, is that by attacking the devolution settlement and traducing the promises made to Scotland in 2014 in an effort to secure a No vote,"
"...they are weakening even further an already fatally damaged set of arguments which the Better Together campaign deployed in that year's referendum."
"Following their British nationalist and xenophobic Brexit, the Conservatives have rendered totally implausible the argument that a No vote is a vote against nationalism."

"BORIS Johnson has “basically admitted” that his proposals to reform Westminster standards would not have prevented even one of the sleaze scandals which have engulfed the Tory government, the SNP have said."

So, why waste time with theatrics...if not, to cover-up other deeds!
"After taking a jab at the 👉“missing £600,000 in the SNP party accounts”👈, the Prime Minister claimed that the opposition’s “constant attacks” on corruption in his government did a disservice to the people around the world suffering under true corruption."

⚠️Disinformation! ⚠️
"MICHAEL Russell has said £600,000 raised for a SNP second independence campaign is "not missing" and that the money is still available for this purpose."

@theSNP @Feorlean have repeatedly replied to false criticisms relating to £600,000 raised for #IndyRef2 - waiting patiently!

"How did South Korea escape the pandemic relatively unaffected economically, with deaths at such low levels, while now vaccinating at such a high level that it has protected itself from future waves of illness and harsh lockdowns?"
"That’s the question we should all be asking, and a clear vindication of the “zero Covid” approach as the optimal short-term strategy."
"Mistakes have clearly been made in both the UK and US – in particular, a cynical fatalism that no scientific solution would emerge, that mass infection was inevitable and that there was little to be learned from other parts of the world."
