@AndrewBowie_MP “Pay attention to the North East”. What, by charging whisky distilleries hundreds of millions more per year in excise duties in the budget you’ve just voted for?
I well remember when Fife Labour would tell people if Scotland became independent RAF Leuchars would close. So would Rosyth Naval Base and the Black Watch Regiment. https://t.co/sqjhALrU0d

@AntacsB @tc1415 No, they only had to tell the monarch they could command the confidence of the house. And this shower have form when it comes to lying to the monarch.
@IanImrie1 No problem raising it with the Scottish Government although the fact that this is a UK wide crisis suggests the root causes are on a UK level.
Very concerned to hear @Bupadentalcare are closing their surgery in Leslie along with over 80 others across the UK. The shortage of NHS dentists is seriously affecting patient care. It’s ridiculous that the UK is making itself less welcoming to dentists who previously came here.
@tc1415 In Scotland Parliament can vote the First Minister into office and can vote them out of office and continue to function. In Britain parliament can’t vote the prime minister into office and can only vote the whole government out of office, dissolving itself in the process.
@ka8895 @AngusRobertson Interesting that you think a vote of an entire Parliament elected by the people should be dismissed as just “an extra step”. It’s an essential part of any democracy.
@oneoneoneone @JohnTorode78 @AngusRobertson I understand it well enough. That’s why I had to explain it to John.
