Well they are going the right way but if the Labour boys don’t think they have done enough already god help them, have to catch Boris with a kkk hood on to have any chance.

For someone who has had the benefit of the best education money can buy, what have we got, one slogan, daily U turns, sounding more like Dianne Abbott every time I hear him, he has to do better or he is a goner.

I was thinking the other day, watching Nicola Sturgeon, that she's so much more competent and sensible than Bovis.
Not saying much I know.
But there you go.
Sturgeon for PM!

They did there own thing in Scotland, while Alexander was giving out mixed messages along with that vile creature we call Cummings Nicola insisted we remain locked down. Schools remain closed and there was never any 'maybe we can' or 'maybe we could' or 'maybe soon' about it. People have been told stay indoors, schools will stay shut and she said bollocks to the 'stay alert' slogan.

Aye, shu'z bin dee'n a grarnd jorb!

Most of the people I know from Scotland would not agree with you. You forgot to mention her right hand man that vile creature called Blackford.

Hmm, don't know that much about the man tbh apart from his parliamentary moments recently where I thought he did very well, I've also heard that the long hand of Alex Salmond is still having its say ....

I do, however, think that Nicola has come out of this very well, She has appeared steadfast, has not dilly-dallied or danced around the facts and figures, also candid and honest with ref. to her Covid moments in the spotlight, even statesmanlike (statesperson?), especially compared with Alexander

Not sure I can agree with you. At the very beginning she withheld information about the NIKE Conference where the virus had been present. The care homes in Scotland have the worst death statistics in the UK with a massive 47% of deaths occurring in them. Non of her decisions are of her own thoughts she just waits until Westminster decides and adds on another 1/2 weeks. The trouble being, of course, if the furlough scheme runs out before she gets everyone back to work etc. she will, hopefully, have to fund the difference out of the Scotland coffers.

Scotland doesn't have any coffers

She put two fingers up to the Stay Alert mantra
 
In other breaking news today: pub landlords across the land say they're ready to implement the government's 'world beating' Track and Trace System:
You must log in or register to see images
 
Meanwhile Priti Patel
You must log in or register to see images


... stated the government were meeting June targets with ten thousand ninety hundred and seventy twenty more tests which might be done by landlords joining the scheme

(And this will be clear in afternoon's briefing with a series of meaningless graphics)

Yes, very honest about the failure around PPE and trying to cover up the Covid outbreak at the Nike meeting. For countries with populations of circa 5 million Scotland has 4,000 deaths, Ireland about 1,700. Everybody else under 1,000.

You might want to compare how she has handled this crisis compared to Alexander and his toadie team
3rd worst in the world and could be overtaking England into 2nd. She’s done ****e. Which of her stats are impressive?

What? like taking leading role in our transition to a Green Economy, ending period poverty, a fairer progressive tax system, free care for the elderly, free prescriptions and a Health Service in better shape compared to that south of the border

How the Scottish suffer under the SNP govt eh?

Free prescriptions for paracetamol which the tax payer needs to cough up for? Yeah, champion. What about the education system that’s been in decline since she’s come into power? Or the children dying in hospitals, or the super hospital that was supposed to be finished in 2012 which is still ongoing? Or what about them having the largest deficit in Europe with her as leader? Or what about Scotland having the worst drug deaths in Europe under her leadership?

She tells the Scottish folk she cares about them, though. Awww

I was hoping you weren't going to mention the schools <laugh> ....I won't try and make a case with that one but it would be a tad unfair to blame her for the Curriculum for Excellence

Sir Kier appears to be trying very hard to be taken seriously, even to the extent of confronting any perceived anti-Semitism, head on.

We know that many members deny that it even exists in The Party.

I suspect that after the way Rebecca Long-Bailey has been unceremoniously dumped, many will sit up and take notice.
The anti-Jewish die-hards are goint to have to find a new home.

Whatever else, I can not even in my wildest fantasies imagine Mr Corbyn taking this action.

I'm impressed.
