Who to vote for in @ScotParl elections? Usually go between Labour and SNP for Scottish and UK elections depending on the candidate but for the first time I'm stumped. The money wasted by elected representatives - no accountability

Unlike the rest of us Jimmy never once moaned or complained but worked long days and was always completely up for anything . Every scene, screening , wrap party ; he was one of the gang , and you just forgot , and never questioned his age…..

I have a sad and heavy heart tonight. I kept very few things from the set of ‘Still Game’ , but this photograph I treasure. Jimmy Martin’s final day on the show. It hung behind the bar in ‘The Clansman’ until the final scene and now in my home. He was always with us ….

@mpmwilko You'd get a warning, disciplined or sacked in any other job

This happened during my first experience of a debate in the chamber. The behaviour of several Conservative MPs was appalling. After the debate, I asked a group of them why they behaved that way. I was accused of rudeness myself for having the temerity to ask. Absolutely shocking.

Tonight Sunak thought he’d wow the voters by bringing... this... to his rally.
Yes, the man who partied his way through a pandemic, who broke the laws he wrote, who culled the herd, who lied compulsively, who let the bodies pile high in their thousands.
A one-man moral vacuum.

Don't forget any of it 😡😡
Vote tactically to drive the Tory party to the desolation they deserve
I’ve spent today looking at evidence in the VIP PPE Lane
My fury only grows 😡
How dare they even try to excuse such corruption?

Brilliant from @implausibleblog
Tax Check UK is an attempt by the Conservative Party Press Office to fake a fact check website
While Rishi Sunak talks about integrity
They lie to the very end don’t they ?
Farrukh@implausibleblog
In the first question at the BBC Debate, Sue says, "People are dismayed by the lack of integrity and honesty in politics today" At the same time as the debate, Conservative Party HQ changed their Twitter account to 'Tax Check UK' which leads to a website with misleading information about Labour's tax plans And in response to Sue's question, Rishi Sunak said, "Leadership means being straight with people.. The choice at this election is about leadership and integrity in politics.. Leadership means being straight with people about what you plan to do.. Keir Starmer and the Labour party are not being straight with you" The absolute shame of the Conservative Prime Minister Rishi Sunak talking about leadership and integrity while CCHQ have changed their appearance - outright deception - and link to a website full of false information about the Labour party's tax plans Please vote for whichever party will remove the Conservative candidate in your area: Labour, LibDem, Green, SNP, Plaid Cymru - any of them would be better than another five years of the Conservatives Go to stopthetories.vote - to find the best option for a tactical vote option in your constituency

@RishiSunak Read the room or the comments. Now go away and appear on @ITV Jungle or anything else people can choose to switch off.

Don’t surrender your future to Labour. Vote Conservative on 4th July.

@Conservatives You've put taxes up 26 times since Rishi became boss. This is like the very annoying tune that my washing machine plays at the end of a cycle. But since my washing machine is useful I can put up with that.
English
They're not telling you the full truth.
Labour have said they wouldn't put up your taxes. But it's now becoming clear that they have every intention to put them up 👇

@JamesCleverly @Conservatives So 20,00 (?) more police officers except it isn't is it ?
To coin a Rishi Sunak phrase
"It's gone up since it went down but it was up more than down"
And
"If you don't count the crime (fraud) which has gone up, it's all gone down even though it's gone up "
JUST GO NOW
