Ok George

No doubt at some point the trusty George will stagger to his feet and demand that the Westminster Government stop talking about spending money directly on devolved areas, removing the democratically elected Scottish Government from decisions on Scottish public expenditure. 

Well, ok, maybe there's SOME doubt....

He’s just terrible. The Tories will be in power for years.

 

 

Not sure what else he could say here? Anything other than this bland congratulations will get him negative press. This here won't be noticed.

He could keep his fucking mouth shut. Any honest, and truly Labour message would wish nothing but misery and destitution upon the fat cúnt. How long before he dumps this latest family, do we think?

I get what you're saying, but if he didn't post this (bland) tweet, the papers would be talking about how petty he is not congratulating a couple on a new baby. 

Or, alternatively "Congratulations on the new baby. Hope you all end up on the streets" is hardly a vote winner either.

Daniel Johnson, for Scottish Labour, says the budget does not contain the "bold action" needed to move beyond the Covid crisis.

The child payment should be increased to £40 by April 2023, he argues.

He also says care workers deserve a "fair increase" to £15 an hour, not the "meagre, barely 50p increase" that is planned, saying this is vital to boost recruitment.

Mr Johnson says the phased return of business rates will not prevent many businesses going to the wall - and just resets the "cliff edge" into the summer."

 

Aye, because care workers all get £15 an hour in Labour run Wales don't they?

Kate Forbes raising this absolute hypocrisy, and that of Liz Smith with her comment about asking for the child payment grant to be raised, was a joy.

Weird to feel joyous at someone batting away calls for wage rises no matter how hypocritical the people calling for it are

It's calling out the hypocrisy that I have described as a joy. Labour and the Tories calling for a wage rise in Scotland many times over what they have given in jurisdictions they control.
Not batting away calls for wage rises, as you describe.
In Labours case, doubling the demand on child payments after what they originally requested was matched.

This needs to be called out.
