btb Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Um, I might have missed something along the way but what are Ruthie's credentials on climate change? Quote Now she has joined City PR firm Tulchan Communications, to advise some of the biggest players in corporate Britain how to cope with the changing climate, including actual climate change. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Khaki Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Well, presumably as a massive source of hot air herself, she must know a thing or two about global warming. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUFC90 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Love how she has suddenly found the time away from her family to concentrate on not 1 but two jobs. How any MSP/MP can find time for another job is beyond me. Most people who work hard every week can't be fucked working more hours in another job. Nothing to do with money, yet we have politicians who've got free time coming out their ears. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunning1874 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 While I’ve sometimes argued against a blanket ban on MPs/MSPs having second jobs - an example of how it could be counter-productive would be Philippa Whitford standing in to cover NHS shortages of surgeons - an elected politician simultaneously working for a lobbying group is absolutely beyond the pale. We know fine well how many go into those kind of jobs after leaving parliament, with it being especially prevalent among Tories, but holding both at the same time is such an egregious conflict of interest that it can only be described as corruption. It should so obviously be against the rules that it’s not even up for discussion: she has to resign. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitford literally saved lives by standing in during a parliamentary recess. Now, how did the media initially react to the Colonel's new job ? 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also boast ‘£500 a day’ on the front page, there are consultant locums charging double that easily. A GP locum can get about £650 a day. The real headline should be ‘MP saves lives at cut price cost to taxpayer’. But that doesnt fit the UK media agenda on Scottish Nationalists. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironically, it's often cheaper for Health Boards to employ locums than recruit to substantive posts. Locums purely provide service so boards don't have to provide any non-clinical time, any holiday pay, any employer pension contributions or any sick pay. Can save a lot of money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She and he did not write that; it was almost certainly composed by some lowly-paid staffer and then checked that it was suitably patronising in tone and wholly lacking in contrition. I look forward to the footage of a Hi-Ab pulling her snout from the trough, accompanied by a delicious sucking sound.
