The economic case for independence was weak when I voted against it and it is even weaker now. Ignoring that the Scottish nationalists will argue for it no matter how poor the case is, because at heart it’s driven by anti English sentiment.

That’s just absolute bollocks and you know it, it’s been a national effort the whole country has made to keep everyone safe and to protect our NHS, to say the government couldn’t give a toss about individuals is embarrassing

Keep everyone safe? Between 40-65 thousand people have died including hundreds of NHS staff.
We're one of the worse performing countries in the world, but never mind, you're getting to the pub next week.

They couldn't give a toss about most individuals, they bust a gut protecting one individual.

Johnson trying to bullshit his way through PMQs again today and getting rinsed by his own previously issued figures, fucking amateur hour.

Considering the message/evidence that U45's are pretty much bulletproof he can probably get away with it

looking better but community transmission is likely to be around 2500 per day at those figures. If we can get the new infection at 300 to 500 and keep it there we will be getting there.

Mentioned the Pest company the other day, but it turns out there are more.

All perfectly above board I am sure...

The problem with 1 metre is that it's no distance at all. Distancing in England is pretty much over.

You really are stupid.

The independence argument isn't "we don't want HMT that we pay into to help our businesses out" it's more "We think the interests of Scotland would be best served if we had our own treasury so we did't have to ask London to give us some of the North Sea Oil profits back".

We'll add Scottish independence to the bumper book of things you don't understand.

Any more refers to quantities.
Anymore is an adverb referring to time. Pretty sure it’s American though dude.

And that is about as damning an indictment as you can get.

I keep thinking "well at least we've scraped the barrel now" and yet somehow we still end up finding someone worse. I think there can't be someone more incompetent than Johnson, then I remember Gove....and Hancock....and Raab...and Grayling.....and Patel.

How have we got to a stage where our big dreams for the country are having someone in charge who could be described as 'reasonably competent'

This is why open selection should at least be mandatory at every election cycle. Let the constituents decide if you are serving them adequately. Is it perfect? Perhaps not but it would keep more of them on their toes.

To be fair it is now much easier for constituents to petition against their MPs but the problem is we only take an interest every 5 years, which is the same as what can be said for the current ruling party. Great at winning elections, useless in office.
