She is one of the SNP. Says a lot about the party.

And the Conservative MP accused of sexual assault. Does that say a lot about the Conservative party?

That's Ok then.  Thanks for clearing that up. 

 

Except that the SNP have publicly disowned her, removed the whip, suspended her membership and called for her to resign.  Not a great deal more that they could do.

 

Compare with publicly defending and remaining in post.

But you asked if she was still earning a living....apparently not content with the actions of her party to date. 

 

And, I ask just one more time:  If she is found not to have broken any laws, should she be allowed to continue her career uninterupted?

Scotland is an issue that hardly anyone cares about at all, it's not even an afterthought, it's an irrelevance.

That being the case what is the objection to Scotland just having a vote so the people can decide which way to jump.

Obviously Bojo must be the "anyone", he doesn't want to tell the Queen she must surrender Balmoral.

if so then Westminster should be happy and comfortable with ridding the UK map of this irrelevance

That would require the governments to actually listen to what the people think, something that rarely happens.

Cummings. The gift that keeps on giving.

Seems that he was not paying council tax on the house he ran away to when he had corona. ????

This is my favorite bit from the story.

 

The Northern Echo exclusively reports that "years of unpaid taxes, potentially between £30,000 and £50,000, on two homes built in breach of planning laws will be written off" for the two homes near Durham.  

New charges for the properties will come into effect at the start of this month on a cottage Cummings built on the farm with his father in 2002.

 

If he was not Johnsons advisor he would be getting stiffed for those taxes.

Pure corruption.

You are not asking again, you never asked me......

 

If she is found not to have broken any laws then it is up to the SNP or the speaker to do what ever they want/can do in regards to taking the House into disrepute.......

 

The SNP and the Speaker have televised their thoughts and I agree. If she is allowed to stay as an SNP MP, then that is another nail in its coffin..

She is already NOT an SNP MP. 

 

So you agree that she should go - starngely at odds with your continual defence of Cimmins who,although not elected, is an influential public figure.

Cummings in not an MP, he does not represent anyone in the House...

Cummings did not travel on public transport..

Cummings was police investigated and faced no charges..

Anything else..?

Cummings has not been paying council tax on his hideaway property.

Cummings did not have planning permission to build the house.

Cummings has been let off the council charges because of utter corruption.

So Cummings evading his council tax is nobody's business but his? 

He has been evading it since 2002 ! He is a wealthy man and can easily afford to pay it while millions of others across the UK struggle to come up with the money but they do so because its the law.

And yet you defend him.

Utter horse balony. You've also already had an election a few years ago. Best out of three?

On the point of currency that will be up to barrier they will be dancing to the tune he whistles when they go crawling back to the Eu.however should they need a new currency, Ireland had the punt,UK had the pound,how about the ponce?

Yep, total hypocrisy on her part; as I have said before.

 

But your attempts to lay the blame for that on the SNP are ridiculous.

 

Has everyone in the SNP from Sturgeon down to Ferrier's local constituency office called upon her to resign? Yes or no?

 

Cummings and Boris haven't, though; and their spokespeople

refused to say anything when asked!

 

BTW, Cummings did have C19; he said so in his press press conference! But he is not an MP, and so a lot easier to sack.

The SNP is not burying itself; one ex member is burying herself.

 

The SNP have acted completely honourably in this matter. They have sacked her from the party and repeatedly called upon her to resign as an MP.

 

They cannot sack her as an MP; so what else would you suggest they can do?
