SandyCromarty Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 10 hours ago, tamthebam said: Rees-Mogg is Leader of the House which is a glorified secretarial job in many ways as the role is to allot government business in the House. It was such an important role the PMs just used to do the role themselves. While the Leader of the House sits in Cabinet meetings the post was seen as a bit of a demotion in many ways for those who had previously been Ministers- Geoffrey Howe and Robin Cook being two who were shoved into the post after being Foreign Secretaries. No doubt the Conservative Chief Whip and Civil Servants do much of the paperwork and Jacob is kept as far away from buggering anything up as possible. Tl:Dr: faux posh empty vessel in non-job makes a lot of noise. Meaningless job or not he has a high tory profile. If you asked Joe Public to name 6 tory ministers most would struggle but for sure all would name Rees Mogg mistakely as a minister. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SNP’s beloved EU on the other hand....... leave a light on for us!!In fairness the UK have done well with the vaccine, credit where credits due. Their response to covid initially was an absolute disaster which led to UK having the highest death rates per population in EU, maybe the world but like I say credit with vaccine against the EU countries.Re. The Furlough, Ireland run something similar which has been very successful, an independent Scotland would have done the same, just like all small/large countries have done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furlough isn't an act of genius, rather it is using borrowed money at a negligible interest rate to protect jobs. When the alternative is mass redundancies that comes with terrible consequences. The 27,000 needless deaths associated with the clown Johnson, not to mention the billions of pounds wasted should be shaming enough for him to resign. They won't be though and that's the world in which we live. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dare say an Indy Scotland would have run a furlough scheme, if of course they had the borrowing power, which I’m not so sure they would. We would also in their Nirvana, be part of the EU and therefore part of their vaccine hell. Bullet dodged. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
