As the electorate across Britain abandons the #Tory party, it seems a strange -- even perverse -- time for the #SNP to rebrand itself as the Scottish Conservative party.
Turns out the #tory smoking ban is part of their strategy to deter asylum seekers. Like who would want to make a new home in a country where they can’t even smoke? Most of the small boat crossings are local shopkeepers smuggling in gray-market tobacco anyway.

Great. A big thanks to all those dull gullible morons who voted #brexit, to and a corrupt useless inept PM and his cabinet of self serving #tory crooks who went for a #HardBrexit which means they were stupid enough to leave the EU single market.
Also a big thanks to the traitors #NigelFarsge and #ArronBanks who took dirty Russian money in order to campaign for brexit, I'm sure they're both financially better off.
The UK needs a revolution to get these criminals locked up.
To be clear, I don't blame the nurses & doctors in A&E who are encountering budget & capacity pressures that would make it difficult for anyone to do a good job.
As length of waiting times in A&E grow, so do deaths while waiting to be seen; but this is part of the crisis engineered by the Tories, not a managerial or staff training issue (which is not to say these have no impact).

There's nothing wrong with the #NHS that undoing 15 years of #Tory#austerity won't fix. Just look at wait time and satisfaction data from 2009.
It's not the NHS model that's the problem, it's the #Tories
'“We need to ensure that every child can walk or cycle to school safely”: All political parties – except the Conservatives – agree “children’s safety should be prioritised over the convenience of motorists” on “red-rated” road network, families say'
Performative cruelty against the weakest; asylum seekers, the homeless, the disabled. Redoubled now for the elections. Such are the calling cards of the proto-fascists, who always walked among us, but whom we vaulted into power. Systematically stripping citizens & would-be residents of rights, dignity & security in the name of false "liberty" & "patriotism", 14 yrs of #Tory has produced the most pitifully awful & disgusting leaders & Governments in our modern history. #EnglishNationalism
'It has resulted in mass displacement, #violence and potential #genocide, jeopardising millions of lives. While the United States (US) and other European nations have publicly expressed concern at the United Nations Security Council, Britain’s silence speaks volumes.'
Just received a load of election material through my postbox from all the local election candidates.
The one from the #conservative candidate only mentioned the word "Conservative" at the bottom of the last page and had a great big green banner on the front page which confused me for a while.
It appears they are embarrassed to even mention their own party name!
Tory MP Mark Menzies, who's facing allegations of misusing campaign funds has quit the #Conservative Party and says he won't stand at the next general election. 👀
Lancashire Police said it was reviewing "information" about Mr Menzies after Labour asked for an investigation.
Raid on the public purse gets developed by rich donors, agreed on by Tory inner-circle, sold to junior ranks as the next best, ideological macroeconomic policy
Policy enacted. Enriches donors, fails ideologically, damages nation and economy. A disaster for all but the donors. Tory support suffers
Disappointed junior ranks get appeased with the usual red meat. Favourite targets hit: minorities, immigrants, benefits claimants, disabled etc
Instead of looking at the issues that create depression: poverty, poor physical health, loneliness, robotic underpaid work, exploitation by employers…the #Tory government attacks the individual and GPs.
The 'Willy' Wragg & Mark Menzies episodes confirm this English Nationalist #Tory Party is brimful to bursting of Cummings-style 'misfits & weirdos' . Responsibilty lies at the level of local constituency committees - elderly nodding-dogs who tolerate the imposition of candidates who the least level of due diligence at interview would disclose to be unsuited for public office.
Let them know on May 2nd what's coming. Let us humiliate them as completely as they have humiliated our great country.
The House of Lords, even after all of the reforms of hereditary peerages, the Lord Chancellor, the Supreme Court, and whatnot, since the turn of the century, still has to be one of the places in the U.K. that is by definition a bastion of Toryism.
If the House of Lords opposes one, can one in fact reasonably claim to be a #Tory?
The divine right of plutocrats…how much have the tobacco lobby spent greasing the palms of the Tories?
“There were so many Roundheads fighting the king many years ago in the civil war, but I would say there’s too many Roundheads at the moment in this parliament. Too many naysayers, too many people banning things.
What we need is a few more Cavaliers, a few people trying to enjoy bits of life “
Alexander Stafford, #Tory MP on the Common’s Smoking Debate.
