The Government would have you believe this is all down to Covid. But the waiting list was already close to 5 million before the pandemic due to years of inadequate funding. Please RT if you know the truth. bbc.com/news/health-58…



HERE IT IS. Now make it blow up, people. 💥



For most of the last century the Tories have ruled the UK. So, here’s a simple truth. If there are systemic failings in the UK that need to be addressed it’s entirely safe to say that they are the Tories’ fault. There is no one else to blame.



Just a reminder that Scottish Labour and Tories have been saying this week that the Scottish vaccination programme is 'lagging behind the rest of the UK' Data from @TravellingTabby (who if you don't follow, you really should)

Scotland is developing links with its northern neighbours. Arctic countries are major trade partners for Scotland accounting for around 27.5 per cent of our total exports and five of our top 20 export destinations in 2017.

“…but please focus of football, not politics.” Why? Why is it so difficult for politicians to understand that in a democracy, politics is for everyone - *especially* when Cabinet members are directly commentating on you & your friends?



The Conservatives have just voted to cut international aid. Cutting aid to help the world's poorest during a pandemic is callous - and not in our national interest. Boris Johnson is damaging Britain's reputation around the world.



The Scottish government is pushing Westminster to respect devolution and allow our Parliament to make meaningful choices that work for Scotland, and not have these choices undermined. Time is running out. Details in @edinburghpaper edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/opinion/c…



Sunak has just cost 100s to 1,000s of lives, by various estimates. And for what? For a vapid gimmick about being fiscally responsible when you’ve just blown £37bn on a failed T&T paying consultants £7K/day - and blown £15bn on PPE worth £2.5bn. This govt shames our country.



I’ve NEVER seen a tweet in the UK take off at this rate… 🔥



Would it be ungenerous to suggest Natalie Elphicke should spend more time serving her constituents rather than enriching herself writing newspaper articles?

"It starts at the very top." Former footballer @GNev2 says has called on Boris Johnson to take a tougher stance on racism in football after some England players received abuse online following last night's clash with Italy. #Euro2020: trib.al/usCPr8t



Boris Johnson failed to support players taking the knee when they were being booed. His words now ring hollow.



Trigger warning. Violent content. For absolute shame. Despicable.



The racial abuse being hurled at @MarcusRashford @Sanchooo10 and @BukayoSaka87 is an absolute disgrace. Bigots and racists will use any excuse to display their disgusting prejudices. If you see it, call it out #SayNoToRacism #Respect



Gary Neville absolutely rips into Boris Johnson. This is 🔥 “He said Muslim women look like letterboxes” - Gary doesn’t hold back.



The England football team is what I want for the soul of this country. They are the best of us. Boris Johnson, Priti Patel, Lee Anderson and the thuggish, abusive & booing fans are not. End of.



It's utterly shameful that England players are receiving racist abuse from so-called fans. This shows why we need meaningful leadership to tackle racism. Rashford, Saka and Sancho are talented players and brilliant role models, on and off pitch. They deserve respect not hate.
