Anyway, I'm reasonably sure that the English are thoroughly fed up with the present Scottish leadership and feel that if ordinary Scottish citizens wish to follow that line, then "sod 'em".

Consistency over accuracy?

I believed better of you...

Selective memory is all part and parcel of being a politician isn't it?

Forgetting to declare an interest in certain ventures, forgetting you're not allowed to claim for 17 extra homes, forgetting there's a lockdown on when you travel to Scotland, forgetting what you said yesterday when quizzed about it today etc etc

I thought the first bit of her misleading evidence was the oath, after that it was all bullshit.

Terrible when politicians say misleading things - it’s good that people speak out about these things...

Dozens of Covid contracts had not been published when Boris Johnson told MPs they were "on the record for everyone to see", campaigners say.

The Good Law Project said the PM's assurance last month was "not true" because government lawyers had said 100 contracts were yet to be revealed...

... The contracts have attracted scrutiny because many were awarded directly, without being opened to competition, because of the urgency of the pandemic.

Challenged about the ruling in the House of Commons on 22 February, Mr Johnson said: "All the details are on the record."

The prime minister added: "The contracts are there on the record for everybody to see."

But three days later, in a written legal response to the Good Law Project, seen by the BBC, government lawyers admitted 100 contracts for suppliers and services relating to Covid-19 signed before 7 October had yet to be published.
Seem to have missed the CF outrage on this one...

Not a supporter of her or Scottish independence, so you are barking up the wrong tree with that assertion.

(also not a fan of the hypocrisy of criticism of one set of people for actions, but glossing over/ignoring the same actions in others.)

That could make an interesting thread, why not start one?
