@LibDems @JessBrownFuller To many of us it's incomprehensible that it takes SO LONG to sort something like this! #mustdobetter

The contaminated blood scandal is one of the gravest injustices in NHS history. Victims have waited decades for justice and they’re still waiting.
@JessBrownFuller the Lib Dems plan delivers fair compensation and lasting reform.

What did they actually create?
In 9 days on Jekyll Island, they drafted a blueprint:
• A national reserve system
• 15 regional Reserve Banks
• A central governing board
• Ability to expand/contract currency supply
• Privately owned but federally supervised
It wasn’t called a “central bank”, too controversial.
Instead: The Federal Reserve System.

In 1910, the 6 most powerful men in America vanished.
They boarded a private train using fake names & disappeared to a remote island.
What they created in total secrecy now controls $30.5 trillion in U.S. money.
Here's what happened in that secret meeting held on Jekyll Island:

Not just FAIs but so many public enquiries take YEARS and YEARS - by which time the trauma is embedded and solutions are too late or out of date.

It’s incredibly disappointing that the Scottish Government continues to stand by its broken FAI system. Between the deaths of Ms Bell and Mr Yuill and the completion of this FAI nearly 9 years have passed. It is simply unforgivable to leave families without answers for so long.

Everyone knows these Highland seats are going to be a straight fight between the Liberal Democrats and the SNP.
People deserve a local champion who will stand up on the issues that matter, and they will find that in local Liberal Democrats Angus MacDonald and Jamie Stone.

Why has @EdwardJDavey got such a zeal for the unusual photo-op? Inspired by @willie_rennie, the "Rory McIlroy of the political stunt," there is more to it than just having fun. Read my take in @scotonsunday #GeneralElection2024 scotsman.com/news/opinion/c…

A stunning revival for @scotlibdems, in #InvernessSouth. In the history of the ward we’ve never overtaken the SNP, even when it had a LibDem MP. Game on for @angusmacdlibdem at the GE.

@andrew_thin I campaigned in HC to revive allotments. So many housing developments have v small or shared gardens.

In the Highlands and Islands young people want crofts. In the Lowlands it's smallholdings and in the cities it's allotments. All priority outcomes for land reform.

We've opened a new Parliamentary office in Wick!
After the next election, our constituency will be the largest in Britain.
I want to make sure that every constituent has access to their MP, whether they live in the north or the south of our vast bit of land.

Yikes! Mice obviously like the sweet pea seeds I saved from last year. Sealed container next time, methinks! @DirtyGardenH0E

@RestIsPolitics @RoryStewartUK @campbellclaret Are ministers responsible if misinformed by civil servants or government agencies etc? Could ministers have stepped in earlier in the post office affair - they were clearly advised not to.

@LaylaMoran Taking sides simply fans the flames of tribal feuding.

I’m worried about a narrative that has been developing and I want to put this out there:
1. You can be pro-Israel and still care about people dying in Palestine.
2. You can be pro-Palestine and care about the terror in Israel and releasing hostages.
Both can be true.

Once again the Scottish Government takes away control from local authorities - and local communities and services will suffer. #outofideas

Humza Yousaf’s personal promise to clear mental health waiting lists by last March wasn’t worth the paper it was written on.
Scotland deserves a world-beating system that will tackle the mental health emergency and help people get on in life.

The violence unfolding in Israel and Palestine has caused - and continues to cause - unimaginable grief.
Layla speaks for us all when she says, "The people of Israel and Palestine have a right to live free from fear."
