I’ll just shorten this hellishly ā€˜important’ statement from the SNP’s Pyla Lara Bird Leakey… ā€˜Me, me, me. Look at ME!’ šŸ“£šŸŽŖ
Today I was denied entry into the West Bank, alongside other parliamentary colleagues from across Europe as part of a @ProgIntl delegation. We were held for 8 hours, interrogated and ultimately prevented from crossing the border. I came to stand alongside Palestinians being attacked for harvesting olives on their own land. Instead, we were turned away, with no reason given. More than ever, Palestinians are being subject to terror and violence by the IDF and illegal settlers. Increased blockades, demolitions and unthinkable violence have become the norm for Palestinians in the West Bank. It is more important now than ever that we bear witness and show our solidarity. But we were prevented from doing so. I will continue to do everything I can to apply pressure on the Netanyahu government, and those responsible for the persecution and genocide of the Palestinian people.

Posh Pyla's part in @ProgIntl delegation goes pear shaped... Maybe she should have stuck with Pimms and ponies? Or focusing on potholes, of more concern to her Broughty Ferry constituents than Palestine? @weeglesgapoet, we eagerly await your ode, to help lighten our load... 🤣

Woke = Broke Is Swinney listening to @AuditScotland ? @ScotlandTonight Absolutely not he is not. Ā£27million for ā€˜Ghost Workers’. Ā£1.5 billion at Glasgow City Council who are broke with a Ā£110m deficit. But let’s fund the ā€˜Mummy Woke’ brigade @KelvingroveArt whilst we do a sale and lease back on the building costing us tax payers Ā£1.5 billion over 32 years. Ā£3m on free school bags made in China. Ā£30m for a ā€˜Community Fund’ to tackle Right Wing when he ignores the extreme Left Wing toxic and perverse racist Green Party. Ā£500k via Scottish Screen @scotgov for SNP lovey and non Scottish tax payer Brian Cox’s film ā€˜Glenrothan’ whilst budgets cut at Historic Scotland to fund listed buildings. The list is endless. screen.scot/film-in-scotland… bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cd79…
More ā€˜Pig In Lip Stick’ šŸ’„failing Scottish Government Policies. Police Scotland as reported @heraldscotland this morning are facing further devastating cuts. I called this out @ScotlandTonight @STVNews in September and here we go the further proof. The First Minister leads a @scotgov who would rather fund ā€˜Ghost Workers’ with their no redundancy policies at Ā£27m cost than fund @PoliceScotland and our other emergency services. The Scottish Government Cabinet Secs and Ministers continue to churn out more spin,dressed up in ā€˜Pig In Lip Stick’ šŸ’„gas lighting policies. Dangerous times for our communities when you cannot protect the fabric of our NationšŸ“ó §ó ¢ó ³ó £ó “ó æ. heraldscotland.com/news/2666…

Poor Stevie Flynn. Takes me back to January when a major incident was declared in the NE as two council areas were cut off for days due to snow and ice. His contribution? Snow angels šŸ‘¼ā„ļø What fun šŸ™„šŸŽŖšŸ¤”
🚨#DishonestJohn issues amber warnings from India. Sandbags arrive 14 HOURS too late. Drains paved over. Infrastructure sh*tshow. While Scotland floods, the SNP 🤔 show prioritises overseas junkets and millions on tat from China. Was The Skull FaceTiming as the storms hit? šŸ“±

🚨 Even looks like Flynn GRINS as she asks about drains being paved over, businesses destroyed and livelihoods ruined. As we saw at the Transport Cttee, Flynn is a deeply unserious, out-of-his-depth 🤔

Nobody who’s clocked Lara Bird’s behaviour in recent months will be surprised she’s come unstuck. In my opinion, just another self aggrandising SNP chancer …

The @ScottishSun reports that her cry was she wanted to show solidarity in the West Bank? Sorry no sympathy for them. They would be better showing solidarity up the East End of Glasgow or down in Ayrshire where our locals go homeless hungry and hardworking retailers are flooded out of business due to the storms. Last I knew they were elected to represent Scotland. It is our taxes that are paying for these people who are not fit for purpose. In fact if they Love the West Bank so much why no stay there and let them pay your wages! This is now beyond the pale!

Enough to pay for 600 junior doctors in our NHS... šŸ“°āž”ļøscottishdailyexpress.co.uk/n…
Ā£27 million a year on 800 jobs that don’t exist. The SNP clearly have no respect for taxpayers’ money. The Scottish Conservatives would scrap the SNP’s reckless no compulsory redundancy policy.

According to Nicola Sturgeon in 'Frankly', Salmond didn't read it through properly either. As though he realised that without credible answers to the hard economic questions such as currency and central bank, he had taken it as far as he could.
Most people didn't read the White Paper in 2014, the politicians danced on the heads of pins over every detail and some just set out to confuse. A dozen bullet points outlining the basics would suffice. Along with credible guarantees to deliver them.
