“it doesn’t matter” Like a rabbit in headlights, Tim Rideout is flummoxed by basic questions on his currency plan.

This full length video is brutal. A Scottish currency means a painful and substantial devaluation against Sterling. There is no avoiding the economic gravity that creates this. Watching @RideoutTim just dismiss this because he can’t admit reality is quite special.
Tim Rideout is again pushing his plan as a pain-free solution to the SNP’s currency problem. So… watch how he deals with someone pointing out the obvious flaws. He has no answers. An independent Scotland would require its own currency, but that new currency would immediately…

Six months after announcing his food price cap, John Swinney didn’t even mention it at the SNP conference. No wonder retailers are asking: What the hell is going on?

‘A random numptie’ @scottishgreens Oh how your party has fallen. You’re in an intellectual wasteland. It’s pathetic how far you have dragged yourselves down.
This is not actually a random numptie. This is the co-leader of the Scottish Green Party. A specific numptie, that is to say.

Where’s the fake Scottish accent this time @larabirdsnp You’re an absolute grifter and charlatan 🤷‍♀️

If you wanted to demonstrate the SNP’s lack of thinking on currency, you could hardly do any better than this. Asked a specific question on currency, Jenny Gilruth’s response: “we won the election”

Jenny Gilruth *again* pinning the success of the SNP's reforms of councils and the NHS on the cash boost from the UK budget That has *nothing whatsoever* to do with the structure of the NHS/local government in Scotland. Nothing. At. All. Blame game already underway

This is the co-leader of the Scottish Greens and a member of the Scottish Parliament. Watch this if you still have any doubts Holyrood should be closed down.

The first clip is bad, the second is horrific. If you want to know what clueless looks and sounds like, look no further …

Honestly this is delusional & no one is calling them out. This man is not a lesbian & never will be.
"I stand here before you today as a proud lesbian woman" 🤔 I don't think so mate...

As hypocrisy goes, this takes the cake. SNP & Indy mouthpiece, Brian Cox, who accepted a CBE but wants to abolish the monarchy - accepted an invitation from The Duke of Edinburgh to celebrate the King's birthday in Washington DC. Such a two faced git. scottishdailyexpress.co.uk/c…
