2100 staff allegedly employed at Tory Scottish Office in Edinburgh.
At an average salary of ยฃ35,000 each that's....ยฃ74million a year.
But...
HMRC doesn't know how many are actually employed by the Scottish Office.
Why isn't this on the BBC Scotland?
@southayrshire
William Wallace was tried in Westminster Hall where the Queen lies.
The mock trial resulted in his brutal murder.
He was dragged through the streets by horses then hung, drawn and quartered.
South Ayrshire Coubcil should be ashamed of themselves
Scotland has 8.2% of the UK population, so why are we getting less than half of UK government funding?
Answer:
To undermine Devolution, the Scottish government and the SNP administration.
What has Scotland got to show for the oil and gas it has produced ?
Aberdeen looks poorer than before the North Sea started!
Where has all the money gone?
Are we now going to see the same rip off with renewables?
Westminster voted down Scotland having the right to hold its own referendums.
Labour's new MP for Rutherglen and Hamilton voted against Scotland having the choice to hold referendums.
So much for change Scotland.
It will not happen in the Union.
Clare Balding's sarcastic remark that she didn't know Auld Lang Syne... (and she said Zign instead of Syne) was popular in Beijing shows how dismissive the London luvvies are of anything they don't get about Scotland.
It was a fabulous finale and Burns was exactly appropriate.
The Labour Party are the most right-wing Labour Party in British political history.
They'll betray Scotland.
Make no presumptions that they have working people at rhe heart of their ideology.
They don't.
@AngusMacNeilSNP
I understand Scotland exports up to 40% of its electricity to rUK.
Why then, when between 60 to 98% of Scotland's electricity is produced by renewables, are we in Scotland faced with a 50% increase in energy bills?
New Scottish Office opened in Edinburgh with 3000 civil servants.
Internal Market Bill now passed, bypassing Holyrood (See Clause 46 - and we pay for it any UK money spent - See Clause 47)
What does this tell you people?
Don't know?
Are you as blind as a NO voter in 2014?
@GlennBBC
Michael Gove emails linked to Michelle Mone paving the way for 209million pay outs for PPE.
Both are Scots.
Any chance of this on BBC Scotland?
For generation after generation, my family wanted what's best for Scotland
Today, Sunak called me an extremist when I have no grudge or hatred against anyone
Sunak dislikes my desire for Scotland to be independent.
I've done nothing wrong !
I am no extremist.
Rutherglen and Hamilton West:
Lisa Nancy and Baron Glenscorrodale (wee Jack McConnell) vist.
Their combined net worth is around d ยฃ7million.....
Ye cannae make it up!
If you live in Scotland and, for some inexplicable reason, are thinking about voting Labour and its 2 multi-millionaire leaders (Starmer and Sarwar) and want to bin independence, have a watch....
Labour aren't Labour and Labour will betray you!
Time to come home, SNP.
You are wasting your time with the corrupt cabal called Westminster.
1. Comment from SNP
2. Today's ruling
3. Last week, and
4. Byrant's admission about last week
Maybe it'll dawn on folks that the UK is dying on its knees
Rich get richer
Punters just get forgotten
A change of UK government won't do a thing
Tories & Labour both accept Brexit. Labour are just a name change
UK worst productivity in developed world
Trouble is coming
Where has 92% of all Scotland's oil money gone
Long time passing
Where has all the oil money gone, Long time ago
London took it, and it's spent
Scotland's renewables are now taken without our consent
When will we every learn when we will learn!
CalMac ferries run 862 sailings over the weekend with 100% on time.
That's pretty impressive.
The youngest ferry fleet in the world plying their trade on the roughest seas in the northern hemisphere.
@ScotTories
Why don't you and your missus who works for BBC Scotland as health news advisor get back in the NHS you utter phoney
So the 4hour time has dropped to 67.5%....
NHS Scotland is st the beat in rUK
Do you think 10 Downing Street given what we know now that during Lockdown would be able to respond to or keep full control of the pandemic?
Yes or No?
Why are gas and electricity prices increasing in Scotland when Scotland produces most of its electrical energy from Renewables?
Also why does Scotland need the Cambo field if we produce enough energy by Renewables?
We are being ripped off by the UK gov and rhe oil companies.
This is Labour's multimillionaire Anas Sarwar talking in late 2023 about what he thought was going to be a year where the Council Tax was going to be increased by the SNP.
Judge for yourself....
You'd be mistaken if you think this is a BNP poster.
It's a Labour poster in the Tamworth by-election.
Labour are the most right-wing Labour Party in British political history.
@AlexSalmond
@AnasSarwar
Annual turnover of the Sarwar family's business before Covid was in excess of ยฃ200 million. Must be the richest Labour branch office manager in history.
@TheOneCalledMe
I'm a straight man and I'd say this
was all too predictable because Tory ideology turns people against each other for all the wrong reasons
These issues most certainly are not to protect women or women's rights.
Remember the Tory silence on the Rape Clause.
It's still there!
@JamesMelville
With few exceptions the main centres of infection around the globe are in and around main hub airports
The reason the Tories allow its is, they say, because we have community transmission .....
Something really wrong about it all.
"Anas, I can't wait to get out of these clothes. I know we're both multimillionaires, but why do we always need to look so common?
I'm a Dame now, Anas !"
@ScotExpress
I saw the clip
There were boos and cheers and one flag...
Don't know who the boos and cheers were for...
Your tweet isn't journalism but neither is your tabloid is it?
I think BBC Scotland are trying to provoke strife within Scotland and in particular within the SNP.
The BBC's unionism comes first.
It would not matter what happened.
They should be sued.
#isupportsalmond
What does this picture mean?
Answer:
The rape of Scotland's natural resources in plain sight, and, if you live in Scotland, you'll still be paying top international prices for your energy.
Independence or a desert Scotland - there's no alternative.
@Brown666W
@bbclaurak
Then there's Robbie Gibb....
Robbie Gibb, brother of Conservative MPย Nick Gibb, was the head of the BBC's political programme output before leaving the BBC in July 2017 to becomeย Director of Communicationsย atย 10 Downing Street.
No change of Tory PM will affect the way Brexit is affecting Scotland now and in the future years.
Scotland itself can only change this by independence and rejoining the EU.
@AlvinFord14
Here's another map but this time a true one.
400 military garrisons across Scotland for 30years post 1746 & Culloden to put down ANYONE thinking anything other than supporting the Hanoverian cause.
Weren't we all told at school it was a highland rebellion?
@southayrshire
Switch off the red lamps
This red, white and blue colouration dishonours the Wallace Tower and the memory of William Wallace
To the Tory administration - the reason for selecting the Wallace Tower is shameful. Wallace saved Scotland and his memory is sacrosanct
@Iblogtoglasgow
@davidbowman73
There should have been an oil wealth fund in Scotland just like Norway's
We should have had a state owned oil company just like Norway's
We should have had independence
WE STILL CAN !
Does G.E.R.S. take into account Scottish electricity exports to rUK?
Last year, Scotland exported ยฃ4billion's worth of electricity to rUK. By 2030, these exports will be massive ยฃยฃยฃยฃs.
Another reason why Unionists will never allow another independence referendum.
@D_G_Alexander
A Labour multimillionaire and bully who was more than implicated in the MP Expenses Scandal of 2008 trying to tell me life is better under Brexit and the Union..... with Sir Keir Rodney Starmer KCB KC and all his Shadow Cabinet multimillionaires !
GET TAE!
@msm_monitor
Thatcher stopped the "Flare off gas" coming to St Fergus in 1981 because it would give North East Scotland "too much power" as it would attract 15,000 jobs.
Its in the Thatchers Foundation Library.
Thro the years it must have seriously impacted on Scandinavian forests.
@ShonaHay72
@Chillichipsand1
I was 25years in the Merchant Navy and a couple in the TA.
When you travel the world you realise Scotland is capable of running its own affairs just like Norway, Denmark, Iceland or Ireland or any other coubtry.
@mgshanks
Mr Shanks, tell the truth about your leader Sir Keir Rodney Starmer KCB KC & his Labour party
They are the most right-wing political party in Labour history.
A vote for you not for change but an acceptance of Tory policies. No apologies accepted.
Jimmy Rei's words never truer.
@ScottishLabour
Is this what Scotland needs?
Labour's latest MP sharing a platform with Tories in Better Together's "Scotland In Union"...
Did he tell the constituents in Rutherglen and Hamilton West he was in this group before he was elected?
@PennyMordaunt
It's a nation I'll give you that....
It'll be an even better one when despite 67 years of not voting Tory in a General Election we finally get you lot off our back with independence.
@mgshanks
Taking nonsense .. on cue again.
At ยฃ1.3billion Labour run Wales has a financial Shortfall in 2023-24 of almost twice per head of population to that of Scotland.
The UK in 2023-24 has a Shortfall of almost 4 times that of Scotland.
(OBR figures below)
@ScottishLabour
"We"....
The SG own the railways
Scottish Labour don't...
If "We" means the Scottish people why is your boss in London not allowing the UK to rejoin the EU because Scotland didn't vote to leave it.
@GlennBBC
@NicolaSturgeon
The shipyard has been completely rebuilt
The problems are being dealt with
The Tories would have closed it for private housing
You won't see that said by BBC Scotland
If you honestly think Starmer's right-wing Labour Party will be good for Scotland, you must either be a Tory or sleep with a Butcher's Apron over you at night.
@BBCScotlandNews
BBC Scotland trying to associate bad weather and brilliant seamanship with poor quality shipbuilding.
Blatantly twisting the truth.
Scotland has the youngest ferry fleet in the world and it operates in the roughest seas.
They put down Scotland for having debt is never had that in truth is foisted on Scotland by GERS yet allow ยฃ12billion to be spent on repairing Westminster and they think they can keep it a secret!
@Douglas4Moray
No
Scotland raises taxes for those in higher earnings (that includes me) to help those less well off.
I'm fine with that choice.
The UK is in decline
Shortfall for UK in 2023-24 now almost 4 times per head than as in Scotland.
@ArchbishopStua1
Baroness multi job the now rich and privileged high earner who has never held any position whether in local or national government ...... returns again!
@GMBGarySmith
GMB conspired to stop Glasgow women getting paid in the first instance!
Secondly, GMB backed the millions spent by Labour controlled GCC to stop Glasgow women getting their money!
@sgfmann
So you are a BBC News editor...Mr Mann?
Have you ever watched BBC Scotland news?
Unionists to their very core and it shows in every daily news output
@StephenFlynnSNP
Also remember that Thatcher stopped flare off gas being sent ashore to St Fergus in 1981 because the 15000 jobs created would give too much power to Scotland.
For 40 years North Seaoil rigs have spewed noxious fumes into the atmosphere.
In 1981 Thatcher could have sent most this requirement to St Fergus & create 15000 jobs but she didn't cuz it would make Scotland "too powerful".
@broch101
@BjCruickshank
And ....here is poor Scotland with more natural energy resources than most European countries, a bigger land and sea area than Sweden with a small population like Denmark's ๐ฉ๐ฐ
And....
And...
The unionists don't believe it!
