This is the same horror of a man who previously praised Hitler, saying that ‘he was able to get things done’.
Why @GMB thought to provide him with a platform is beyond comprehension.

One of the darkest days for women’s rights in my lifetime. Obviously the immediate consequences will be suffered by women in the US - but this will embolden anti-abortion & anti-women forces in other countries too. Solidarity doesn’t feel enough right now - but it is necessary. https://twitter.com/SkyNews/status/1540337190848323588

The Tories haven’t won an election in Scotland since 1955 yet continue to try and dictate the terms of our democracy.
That’s the scandal.

Democracy cannot be held back. A referendum will happen.
Once again.
The UK Exchequer literally funded its cost of living package by taxing Scotland's oil and gas sector. Is this the best they've got?
NEW: The Prime Minister responds
Says "the decision was taken by the Scottish people only a few years ago...we should respect that"
Goes on to praise "firepower of the UK exchequer" in providing cost of living help

A few reasons why Scotland can no longer afford to remain under UK Tory rule:
1️⃣ Under Tory mismanagement, the OECD has warned that the UK will have the worst economic growth of any G20 country bar Russia.
SNP Westminster leader Ian Blackford says for weeks he has been met with a "wall of noise" from Tory MPs when asking for Boris Johnson to step down as PM but 'all this time 41% have been cheering me on'

15,000 people in Scotland were sanctioned by the Secretary of State last year for 'rule breaking'.
On that basis, surely she'll sanction Boris tonight too?
I have supported Boris Johnson for 15 years, for the London Mayoralty and for PM. Very sadly, I have written to him to say I can no longer do so, for the reasons set out below.
Picnic perfect down the Dee.

Huge thanks to our MP @StephenFlynnSNP who has supported our foodbank. These foodbanks should not be needed, but we do value the donations so so much to allow us to help others!
Thank you Stephen. https://twitter.com/StephenFlynnSNP/status/1532389756214067200
In 2021/22 over two million people in the United Kingdom used a foodbank.
This afternoon I made a donation to @inchgarthcc in support of their efforts to feed those in need.
Let’s not forget what really matters.

“This shows is that if Scotland was independent, the money raised from this windfall tax could deliver £1,800 for every Scottish household but we will only get a small fraction of that under Westminster control.” https://twitter.com/erikgeddes/status/1530466581679161344
The House of Commons Library analysis shows that, with 90% of UK oil and gas sales income coming from Scottish waters at the last count in 2019, around £4.5billion of the £5billion the UK government estimates its windfall tax will raise is set to come from Scotland #WindfallTax
