Keir Starmer & his inconsistent approach to riots in 2011, 2020... & 2024.
A very short, but damning🧵
A year after the 2011 riots, Starmer as DPP questioned (in contrast to judges & most prosecutors) the effectiveness of heavy sentencing as a deterrent...

Now, as PM, the same Keir Starmer is emphatic.
He is unequivocal.
Harsh sentences send a 'powerful message'... 🤔

Matt Hancock, Sturgeon, Sarah Smith & Cobra meetings. A short thread👇
Today's Mail on Sunday excerpts from Matt Hancock's diaries (regardless of what we think of him) are very revealing re Sturgeon's abhorrent behaviour during Covid.. 2/7
Sturgeon was so desperate to exploit the pandemic for her own PR agenda, she didn't care if she actually hindered the UK Govt's response. These claims are also corroborated by Dominic Cummings. It's morally reprehensible.

1. I see Sturgeon's SNP Govt are getting pelters from anti poverty groups for giving UK Treasury money to those least in need, at the expense of those who need it the most (there must be an election coming up).
We shouldn't be surprised, it's been their MO since the start. 2. Despite not receiving cuts to funding from the UK Treasury in real terms for the first 10 years (its actually increased in recent years) the SNP absolutely clobbered Council budgets-

On last night's main @BBCNews evening bulletin, we saw Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon taking a tumble at a Drugs Recovery Centre. @BBCScotlandNews didn't, which shows the grip she has over @BBCScotland
The tumble was beside the point. Thread👇 2/10
One would think, having decided to cut budgets to addiction services, a decision taken in full knowledge deaths would rise, a little more humility would be evident. No. Not this politician. She sees everything as a PR opp. And 10,000 deaths won't stop her.

Nicola Sturgeon Eco Warrior.
A short story.

Once upon a time, there was an independence referendum in Scotland. Oil money was crucial to the Nationalist economic argument. Sturgeon predicted an oil boom.. 2/8
We were 'on the verge of a North Sea bonanza'..

Short Thread👇
1. 'Offensive language is still used in Scotland on a daily basis, with abusive terms such as *Hun* & Orange B*****d being used negatively against Protestants (or those perceived to be)'. Quote- Nil By Mouth, Scotland's leading anti sectarian charity. 2. There is also legal precedent...

Humza Yousaf & the SNP, Rangers, the Police & the Liberal left commentariat.
A thread.
1. Shortly after Gers title party, a dodgy tik tok video appeared on social media, posted by @wulliewanker
Normal people would've said, 'You lost me at @wulliewanker ', but this is Scotland... 2. .. A nation where an SNP Govt, not content turning neighbour against neighbour with toxic Nationalism, also pick at the nation's sectarian scab through their own prejudice & /or for political gain in a systematic & concerted effort.

'A senior SNP MP accused of sexual harassment was not fully investigated by the party despite multiple reports raising concerns about his behaviour'

A thread 👇 2.
For years Sturgeon and the SNP turned a blind eye to certain behaviours, even burying them when someone raised a complaint 👇
It is inconceivable she didn't hear a thing👇

The SNP would have us believe Sturgeon 'dismantled' accusations of lies.

'I do not recall'/'I don't remember' on a loop doesn't dismantle ANYTHING.

Short thread of accurate quotes on Sturgeon's evasive performance 👇 1.

1. Thread👇 with selection of tweets on today's Inquiry hearing from the Lord Advocate & others
It started with Wolffe coming out 'punching' but once his opening statement was over & the tricky Q's started, it was an absolute car crash
No wonder they wanted it in private! 2.
