"An SNP government interested only in stoking-up endless constitutional grievance and furthering their obsession with independence, at the expense of Scottish public services like the NHS and education"

Umm...Theresa...

"I can't help but feel that the SNP has a tunnel vision about independence."

Theres...

"A tunnel vision nationalism, which focuses only on independence at any cost, sells Scotland short"

You're the same with Brexit!!

A bit of acon is this IMHO....the government starve local authorities of money then allow them to raise local taxes to maintain local services.

The hardest hit authorities are almost entirely Labour controlled.

Moving across to NI the DUP will have to change their leader now as SF can not be over ruled any more or would the DUP risk it all on a possible another election. :hmmm:

And i thought Farage gets this job, due to his diplomatic abilities :rotfl2:
