Says it all #bbclaurak

With increasing inequality one questions the assumption/ economic model that identifies the proportion of people being subject to inheritance tax as rising from 1 in 20 to 1 in 6

John Swinney on #BBCLauraK
LK "You said that Scottish pensioners will lose their pensions due to the triple lock changes. That's not true is it?"
JS "They are set to lose out on £2k per year."
LK "That's not them losing their pension."

2035: annual pensions are £1.46 per year, but still exist. Yay!

#bbclaurak John Swinney cooked his goose when he said Andy Burnham will be the last PM of the UK. If he wants the best for the people of Scotland he will need to work with the UK PM. It is called diplomacy!

Oh my God! The First Minister is on the UK ‘Flagship’ political programme, #BBCLauraK and all she can produce is a series of #SNPbad smears. Most of them reheats of Tory/LibDem/Tabloid nonsense.

England should have its own devolved government.

The First Minister of the North/NI is a nationalist but Sinn Féin power share with the DUP, Alliance and UUP and do so by law under the Good Friday/Belfast Agreement. Also Michelle O'Neill attended that meeting as Vice Chair of Sinn Féin not as First Minister #bbclaurak

Griffiths got to finish rather more of his sentences than Streeting, but said nothing any Tory shadow Chancellor of the last 60 years wouldnt have said. #bbclaurak

#bbclaurak The sole focus of John Swinney on independence means that he is not focussing on what is needed now for Scottish people. He needs to build a good relationship with the Prime Minister of the UK not continually look to attack the PM. Maybe he needs to learn some lessons in diplomacy.

First question from Laura to the most important politician in Scotland:
"You said a mean thing about Andy B, and then they totes clapped back with a sick burn. Real talk right now: did you feel like that queen totally slayed you, hun?" #BBCLauraK

Shocking news this morning of 14 killed in two mass shootings in the US - particularly as US gun deaths have been on a downward trend since 2021.

The US must do more to bring in common-sense gun laws to #EndGunViolence!

Tory MP Andrew Griffith, sitting in front of a list of policies that clearly benefit the wealthiest in society, claims the Tories aren’t a party for the rich as they want to cut Inheritance Tax too (which the list states)

#bbclaurak

So the party that racked up the debt now says 'trust us we will bring it down' #bbclaurak

The budget is just over 2 weeks away (28/07/26) so the Conservatives will have to wait until then to get the Government's spending plans and they know Ministers can't confirm anything #bbclaurak

Andrew Griffith here to confirm to Victoria Derbyshire that his boss, Kemi Badenoch, is sticking to the tory electoral message that 'If you're wealthy, we want to help you. If you're poor, you can go get fucked'

Went well last time

Enjoy obscurity

Ruth Davidson is very good in the Sky alternative to #bbclaurak. Good discussions with panelists and she appeared to allow the interviewee speak and didn't have an agenda. It was interesting to listen to not frustrating like Trevor Phillips who was more interested in his own voice being heard.

By definition, inheriting money is not "working hard"
