Man in Black 2125

@Stephanie_WK1 @GBPolitcs is she handing back her salary and expenses for the period she's not working?

@GBPolitcs Burnout is a real phenomenon, and I fully support protecting mental health we women especially know how stressful it can be.

🚨NEW: Green party MP Carla Denyer has announced that she is going to "take several weeks off" as she claims to be too tired and suffering from "burnout" This comes at the same time as summer

@benhoobs @AndyBurnhamGM nothings free. just means tax payers pays for it. every penny governments spend comes from taxation....

One thing that doesn't get talked about enough is how @AndyBurnhamGM made bus travel free for 16-18 year olds with OurPass - it made such a massive difference to my family financially and gave me the freedom to explore our city region for the first time. It was also one of the main reasons I became interested in politics and after realising how much impact the Mayor could have through devolution in Greater Manchester.

@JohnSwinney how many greens you going to saddle us with just to get your bills passed?

Over the election campaign, I said I would put the cost of living at the top of our agenda – and that is exactly how I will govern. This week I will appoint the new SNP ministerial team so we can immediately get on with the job. My Daily Record column today. 👇

@CPSUK let me guess.... anything anti british, anti semetic etc good ....anything anti immigrant, anti islam pro british etc bad?

Prosecutors have been issued new legal guidance on the use of offensive banners, slogans, chants or symbols to recognise the changing context and increase in increase in hate crime attacks ahead of significant planned protests in London this weekend. orlo.uk/z2Tcn

@BrianLeishmanMP can you advise what a constituent needs to do to get a response from your staff? ten days and two emails asking for an update and not a word... not counting the other two and two months plus.

@DavidLammy @UKLabour how about you and your colleagues practice what you preach and put the country first and do what needs to be done. better yet resign and take that absolute shambles of a pm with you. absolutely embarrassing and shameful.

@EddieGoodall8 @EDI_Airport exactly. just coincidence .....

@In2125 @EDI_Airport It's not there fault either for such a small airport they have so many flights coming an going. Just greed pure greed all there is to it. I had plane land 40 minutes late. 44 minutes b4 pax got to terminal. In my vehicle 1hour an 15 minutes after it landed. That's commonplace.

@EDI_Airport do you deliberately go slow gttg luggage off aircraft to take even more cash from car parking? or are your baggage handlers you contract just useless & lazy? BA can get me and my luggage from frankfurt in couple hours but you can't get my case 200 yds in 30 mins!

@HannahIamthest1 @notlistenning1

@Iromg @Keir_Starmer

Like a petulant child @Keir_Starmer

@EDI_Airport you wanna towel to dry your hands after you washed them? you don't have much to do with the drop off parking either. just collect the cash. legalised robbery.

@In2125 Hi - we have no role in the delivery of baggage. That's for the handling agents contracted by the airlines. Thanks. ^GM

@Keir_Starmer for once do what you said, put country first and for the love of god man just go.

@AngelaRayner in danger of becoming party of the well off?! is that irony? how many houses do or did you own? You avoided more tax than the average worker earns in a year! your nothing more than a champagne socialist like so many of your fellow labour mps. Orwell was spot on. al are equal...

Our party has suffered a historic defeat. Many good Labour colleagues have lost their seats despite working hard for those they represented. We have lost good Labour administrations and lost the chance for more. What we are doing isn’t working, and it needs to change. This may be our last chance. The Labour Party must now live up to our name: we must be the party of working people. We’ve heard the same on the doorstep as we’ve seen in the polls - the cost of living is the top issue for voters of all parties. People have turned to populists and nationalists because we have not done enough to fix it. Living standards are barely higher than they were a decade and a half ago. People feel hopeless - that the cost of living crisis will never end, and now they see oil and gas companies use global instability to post record profits. Once again, ordinary people are paying the price for decisions they didn’t make. It’s no wonder that across the UK, working people feel the system is rigged against them. Things can be so much better than this. Countries including Spain and Canada have shown that economies can grow and people can thrive when governments stay true to labour and social democratic values and put people first. We need to learn from that. In London, we lost young people who fear they will never afford a home. In my patch and across the north, we lost working people whose wages are too low and costs too high. In Scotland and Wales, people do not currently see Labour as the answer.  We are in danger of becoming a party of the well-off, not working people. The Peter Mandelson scandal showed a toxic culture of cronyism.  Decisions like cutting winter fuel allowance just weren’t what people expected from a Labour government. For too long, successive governments have allowed wealth and power to concentrate at the top without a plan to ensure the benefits of economic growth are shared fairly. The result is an economy that does not work for the majority, with wealth concentrated in too few hands. This level of inequality, alongside squeezed living standards, is the outcome of a model built on deregulation, privatisation, and trickle-down economics. But we have the chance to fix this.  1/2

@samlaird22 @danielgoyal how many did greens win last time.... but snp saddled us with them in cabinet.... a votes a vote.... and they got a load.... not forgetting if combine pro union party vote against pro indy... awkward.

@danielgoyal How many constituencies did Reform win in 2026 Scottish Parliament election? None

How to respond to fascists: “So, I want to reaffirm today the commitment I made when I took office. I will build a Scotland where everyone feels seen, where everyone feels at home, and where everyone is able to contribute to Scotland's story.” Swinney thenational.scot/news/26092749.…

@danielgoyal except anyone who voted reform.... fixed it for you

@JohnSwinney hardly emphatic when the combined vote share for pro union is 400k than combined pro independence. how many times.... seats don't equal votes share

Tonight, the people of Scotland have emphatically renewed their trust in the SNP. However you voted, I will be the First Minister for all of Scotland, and work every day to build a better future.

@ldonald3791 @Malcolm_Offord well your one said reform got no constituency seats... as if that makes a difference somehow....and coalition is relevant because the snp have no majority so no doubt they'll saddle us again with the greens to get anything thru. Also greens got no constituency seats last time.🤷

@In2125 @Malcolm_Offord the only person thats said votes dont count is you... not sure what relevance the last coalition govt is to this discussion.

Swinney promised he would be a First Minister for ALL of Scotland, but his first act pours scorn on the 383,425 Scots who voted for Reform. No matter. He may shut us out from his cosy club, but he cannot stop their voices being heard in Holyrood!

@ldonald3791 @Malcolm_Offord so votes don't count? funny then that the greens got a seat on cabinet last time.... invited in by SNP... a votes a vote....

@In2125 @Malcolm_Offord the SNP got 80% of constituency seats the rest got 20% reform got bugger all...

@ldonald3791 @Malcolm_Offord seats don't mean votes .... add combined snp and green. then add combined tory labour lib dem and reform.... i'll help u out. 929605 1335850.....

@Malcolm_Offord you were rejected by the electorate and got in by default on the list pipe doon...

@ArmstrongT97969 @rapwest better still the pro union parties combined vote was approx a third more than combined indy vote. go figure

More Scots voted for Brexit in 2016 than voted for the SNP and Greens in the constituency vote in the Scottish Elections Almost 90,000 more!
