@LordMcConnell @deb_hamilton77 So we have 2 camps.Those who believe Nicola & her lockdown measures and those who don’t!!We have those who will follow her rules 100% -and those who won’t! Either way, time will tell who’s right. My thoughts on all this - Lockdown wasn’t exactly a success first time round!

@STVNews So SG had no choice?? Money wasted on a failed bottle return scheme, embassies abroad, phones for prisoners, Scottish Social Security system that is way more generous than DWP for the unemployed The list goes on and on..but there’s no money for people who actually deserve it.

The Scottish Government will stop providing all pensioners in Scotland with a universal winter fuel payment after the UK announced cuts to funding. i.stv.tv/4dGK6E1

@AgentP22 It’s the down to the SNP’s spending priorities. Health and education are devolved. SNP Scottish government decide how much money is available. Unfortunately due to their decisions there’s no money to recruit/pay new nurses and teachers. Plenty money for folk on Benefits though!!

The SNP has thrown our student nurses on the scrapheap. There are staff shortages across the NHS yet they are being told there are no jobs. They will end up moving abroad and the SNP won't give a jot.

@J4m35c4mpb3ll @scotgov More lies!! It’s not “Free”!! We pay for it with higher taxes than the rest of the UK. We’re taxed on almost everything, nothing is FREE!

@mayunion8 Then there’s the setting up of a separate Social Security System in Scotland. Which has cost millionspaying “extra” benefits here but also the cost of IT systems, Staffing costs - it’s absolutely huge!! The money has had to come from somewhere!! Decimating other public services.

@outofunion You only get this if you are in receipt of certain DWP Benefits!! It’s not paid to families where the parents work!! Get your facts right!!

IT’S ONLY THE SNP THAT GIVES YOU THIS… It’s unique to Scotland. Vote SNP.. and KEEP IT.

@AgentP22 Best news I’ve heard 👍

Tommy Sheppard admits that defeat for the SNP will kill independence stone dead. 😂😂😂😂😂 scottishdailyexpress.co.uk/news/politics/…

@AgentP22 A Scottish government employee paid £80000 a year has been on “garden leave” for months as there’s no job for them. That’s just the tip of the iceberg. Huge salaries paid to Scottish Government employees who “work” at home!! No accountability. It’s a national disgrace!!

No wonder we have a £1.5 billion black hole.

@magnusllewellin Absolute joke!! Given the recent budget tax rises in Scotland I’d like to the evidence. Or is he talking about his voter base…… those who don’t work and get all the extra benefits that his administration provide!!

Independence will make Scottish households richer, says Yousaf thetimes.co.uk/article/6ae338…

@ziggy6769 Unbelievable given the recent tax rises here. Or are we talking about those who don’t work? They seem to do very well under this SNP/Greens administration!!

So we are all going to be £10K better off with independence wow amazing time to look at new cars could do with a change or a holiday to America. Oh wait a min hold on let’s look at this a bit closer first. The SNP have been known in the past to make promises and grand announcements before now so let’s see. Anyone got a free laptop of bike yet. How about the publicly owned electricity company that was going to lower all our bills. Then there’s reduce class sizes to 18 or less for primary classes 1 to 3. And scrap the council tax. Duelling the A9 I could go on and on with promises that have not been fulfilled. There’s over a 100 promises made and broken by the SNP. So what makes you think this will be any different well it won’t for starters the wording Humza uses you MAY be and COULD be better off gives it away.More realistically it would be worse of by 10K. As you all know it’s an election year we will see more and more of these grand promises as we get closer to the General election as with this one there will be no details of how we will be 10K better off. Just headline grabbers and as we’ve seen in the past false promises that will never materialise. The majority will see through this but sadly the gullible Scottish nationalists diehards won’t. My advise to them don’t dream about what you are going to get with your extra money it may turn into a nightmare.

@Alan07302094 Because they’ve set up a separate Scottish Social Security system which is paid on top of DWP Benefits- costing Billions - so the money has to come from somewhere!!

Pubs ,and restaurants closing in SNP run Scotland, due to SNP/greens not passing on 75% business rates relief that the UK government paid for why?

@STVNews This makes Scotland less attractive to the skilled workforce who will now look elsewhere. Given that half the population here are on Benefits, those who do work are looking at tax increases to pay for their misuse of our money. Scottish embassies abroad are a clear example!!

Scotland now has six bands of income tax after a new bracket for high-earners was announced in the Budget. i.stv.tv/482yAR3

@GlasgowGuy2015 No incentive to work hard and better yourself in Scotland. Just sit back and live on Benefits- and take all the “extra” benefits you get here paid by Social Security Scotland - with tax payer money. Why bother!!

Morning all Won't be long now until we have all the deluded, unemployable, benefit-claiming, SNP-supporting clowns declaring that they are "happy to pay extra tax". What they fail to mention is that they pay no tax. 🙄

@AgentP22 Waste it!!

“Around £70m of Barnett consequentials will go to the Scottish Government in 2023/24 and, to date, no funding has been provided by the Scottish Government to specifically support swimming pools in Scotland. What exactly does The SNP do with all the money the UK Government sends their way? news.stv.tv/east-central/w…

Cases appear to have peaked in the South African province where the Omicron variant was first discovered thetimes.co.uk/article/south-…

@JamesMelville Agreed. We’ve got the vaccines and the booster which means we’re 80% protected now. New variant symptoms mainly a bad cold for the majority. If that’s not enough evidence to get our lives back then what will?? Or do you want to live like this forever??

The fear and anxiety are destroying people. It’s heartbreaking and disgusting. Constant threats of lockdowns. The promise of 15m jabs to freedom that didn’t materialise. A constant psychological game that dangles hope and takes it away again. This isn’t normal and it isn’t life.

@scotgov @NicolaSturgeon Omicron is everywhere. You cannot stop it or control it. Maybe it’s now time for government to accept this and stop all these restrictions because they don’t work!! It’s here and we must learn live with it. And try and get as many people vaccinated as possible.

📺 Watch live: First Minister Nicola Sturgeon holds a press conference on #coronavirus (#COVIDー19). Joining the First Minister today is Chief Medical Officer Professor Gregor Smith. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

@scotgov Doubly vaccinated and boosted- sorry but no lockdown for me!! There has got to be some trust put back into people by government now. Stop telling us how to live our lives - enough now.

3,817,740 people in Scotland have been tested for #coronavirus The total confirmed as positive has risen by 4,336 to 788,156 Sadly 7 more people who tested positive have died (9,771 in total) Latest update ➡️ gov.scot/coronavirusdata Health advice ➡️ nhsinform.scot/coronavirus

@scotgovhealth @scotgov So are you trying to get furlough reinstated so you can put us back into lockdown?? Surely if you’re double vaccinated and had the booster then you should be able to get on with your life? And not face another lockdown- otherwise what’s the point??

A record number of 67,016 first, second and third dose/booster jabs were administered in Scotland yesterday as the roll-out is accelerated in response to the emergence of the Omicron variant. Of those, 63,327 were booster and third jags. More info tabsoft.co/3yuEJ7m
