By saying he gives Liz Truss his full support, he effectively made himself unelectable in Scotland.
He should go back to the day job.
@@wadefite he's shite at that too.
He did the same with Boris Johnson when he realised that it was the only way that he would be able to gain promotion within the Conservative party .
He is anyway. He’s also an MSP that couldn’t get elected under FPTP so he had to be gifted a seat from ‘the list’ just like Anas Sarwar 😂. Let that sink in the two big unionist parties couldn’t even get their leaders elected 😂
You would have thought that Douglas would have seen the light before now.
The fact he is still in denial means he’ll have to suffer the consequences.
I think there should be more stand up comedians like him in politics
I can't add anything to that brilliant comment.
I thought he was and I was watching a comedy sketch 😂😂
Next they'll be claiming she's got all the big calls right
He's no David Mitchell...
He himself laughed while trying to say "yes"😂
Nothing is better than watching that little gremlin Douglas Ross Squirm.
Yes.
Also knowing Ruth would have taken a position that made some kind of sense, at least while she was saying it.
This man is just not smart enough.
There is, it’s watching that eejit Sturgeon squirm the odd time she gets asked a tough question.
@@dannyfeller7034 😂 what are you talking about you halfwit she is still the most popular party leader after 8 years in charge 😂

The biggest joke in the country is a Scottish Tory lmao

NAW ! Trust me junior, I was around in 1979 when SNP gave us them,and Thatcher.Her who some Scots,' love to hate.'
"Helping people..."
Helping people stuff their pockets with cash, and then fucking off into the wild blue yonder.
90% of the country has seen a considerable drop in their living the last 12 years.

@@philiprufus4427 the mass drive by ‘the right’ to get women into the workforce has only resulted in two incomes now being needed to make ends meet. It was initially put forward as a way to earn extra money but these lying bastards knew they were doubling the workforce and in turn slashing wage growth.
If it was down to me they would all be in the jail.
@@Dooker1958
If it was to me they wouldn't be in jail, they would be meeting their Maker and that goes for all PLOT TICIANS doesn't matter which party they are from. They are responsible for making the public's lives very MISERABLE while they live LAVISH lifestyles.
Meet DRoss. He’s a fkn spanner.
Meet Sarwar, a man who refuses to pay his employees the living wage.
Tory and Labour and in coalition here, in Edinburgh Council and tied together, in Scotland.
We need independence to rid ourselves of these Westminster placements. They work against our wants and needs.
Saor Alba
We'll see a Labour gov before Scottish independence
@@BlyatimirPootin . Probably. Sad though it is. Westminster is such a shit show.
@@BlyatimirPootin Yes probably true BUT there will be NO benefit to Scot's having an English bias Labour party in control in Westminster.
And Sturgeon and Swinney are Monkey Wrenches, Go On Yersel Scotland Ya Got Mendacious Loony's in Charge Now
'Who so ever asks me of my birth - I will tell them l am born of Irish Princes who ruled in Donegal a thousand years ago; that l am descended from the High Kings of Ireland, and my name is from the Clan ÓDochartaigh! '
I was going to come back to England after living in Australia for a decade. But not anymore. I am bewildered that there aren’t any protests in the streets demanding an election. Brits have lost their fire.
I'm ignorant maybe, but to me a Scottish person voting Conservative is like a vegan working at Bernard Matthews
Eating turkey won't actually harm a vegan. You've tried to adapt the 'turkeys voting for christmas' slogan and fucked up.
Turkeys voting for Christmas!
But you do have Tory MP's in Scotland so someone is voting for them.
@@b00ts4ndc4ts Yeah do you reckon?
@@georgetware2098 yeah I do because they are Tory MPs sitting in the Scottish parliament.
Tories literally falling apart in front of our very eyes.Kwarteng SACKED,as so many people were saying on here for days.HOW on earth can Truss survive as Prime Minister! Her policies are sunk,and that mini budget that they called was a terrible judgment call,that sunk the pound.She either resigns or calls a General Election,which will see a devastating defeat.
The thing is Derek when and if they do get sacked they wil not need to look for another job or worry about bills there should be big consequences on his failed action
If only you knew sonny,these clowns have been playing this game for over forty years. I remember watching them in the eighties, and British politicians in those days had gravitas.
@@philiprufus4427 Phil,I’ve seen what the Tories Do to their own when things go wrong.I saw Michael Heseltine and Tories behind him stab Margaret Thatcher in the back when things went wrong after the Poll Tax fiasco.A huge riot in Central London,and Thatcher leaving Number 10, in 1990.We all saw Tory ministers handing in letters of no confidence in Boris Johnson this year,that saw him quit.Truss is dead woman walking.She and Kwarteng endorsed this mini budget.She HAS to go.She went along with it.She tanked the economy,and sunk the pound.There’s no way on earth the Conservative party will put up with this.I’ve told you how ruthless this party are to each other.There’s NO WAY she can survive.This is shaming British politics.
It will, won't it?! 😏😏😏
@@philiprufus4427 You mean, they weren't clowns? 🤡😄
Remind me who is paying for the energy bill reduction...
Oh that's us
Pat themselves on the back for a deferred payment
And all the money funnels up to the executive class
Think of all the investment from the energy companies as a result though......🙄
@@ryanbarry34 hahaha
Yeah they even said it wouldn't affect it
Wish people would challenge ministers on this nonsense
@@funoff3207 We need to start kicking some 'executive class'.
Also it' going to the oil and gas companies. Cheers
"Crumbs off their tables!" Is a brilliant metaphor for trickle down economics. That's all it is, and nothing more...crumbs.
If there were any crumbs it wouldn't be so bad, but these people hire staff to clean up after them and they get first pickings. So we're getting the crumbs off the crumbs.
Crumbs to top up the crumbs we already get.
Yesterday Kwarteng said he was "going nowhere" ..how right he was , called back from a trip to America to be sacked 😂😄🤗😆
"get the economy going" said Ross as nearly 10m people might go under.
Like Sturgeon and SNP have done in Scotland over fifteen years.
@@philiprufus4427 Another empty soundbite. Its all the SNP opposition have.
People with children, average wages & a mortgage - are so vulnerable.
Best way to criticize this tory party is to rip to shreds the insanity of the Ayn Rand philosophy
I guess you could say that Ayn Rand's philosophy was a train wreck.🥁
[crickets]
Is this thing on?
I read that even Ayn Rand ended up living on state benefits in her final years. No idea if it's true.
Ayn Rand's philosophy isn't that bad, it's the system, and unrestrained capitalism that gives it a bad name.
DRoss: what a complete and utter plonker. 😂
Oh look. Another QT panel with 3 conservatives (including the host and a very Conservative journalist), one SNP, one Labour and non-political guest. Again, I'd love to know how stacked the audience were in favour of the Conservatives.
Sarwar is a tory enabler as well
Labour branch office.
Don't forget the Director General is a Tory donor. The BBC is a Tory mouthpiece. That is the primary reason we refuse to pay for them.
It is such BS, I can't even watch it. It is completely dishonest in how it is put together and how the audience is selected, even though it has this pretence of "democracy" - it is just a gaslighting mechanism for the public.
@@Mark-Haddow do you deny the breakdown of the panel?
Conservatives in the US and UK 🇬🇧 are the reasons why we are in such financial distress!
But their pockets are full so what's the problem?
No the Dems in the US are essentially tories. The us has no ‘left’ only centre right.
@@MrMessiah44 The problem is quite obvious.
In USA it's both. 2 party system is the worst
Boris thought he could follow the Trump way of doing things. America woke up time the U.K. did. U.K. needs a general election, the sewer needs flushing.
If the Tory wants to know what we would have said if he had said No to the question. The response would be pure shock and awe, for we would have witnessed a honest Tory.
You will never witness that.
Come on now,
😂😂😂😂😂Good one
Honesty would be refreshing
I’ve no idea how the BBC managed to find so many Scottish Tories to fill most of those seats.
Maybe they were bussed in🤭
@@paullacey2999 From Kent,,theres a joke in there somewhere...oh thats it....what did you call them?
Douglas Ross must be used to laughter: he leads with his jaw in the Scottish parliament.
Not as used to laughter as the Real Scots at Sturgeon, The SNP and THE FERRIES THOUGH ?
Doesn't he just
He's a referee too. Must be some kind of masochist!
I've noticed that the Scottish representatives actually let each other speak, I hate what the Tories have done but I respect the man's ability to listen to the opinions of others, I will admit though it's a sad day when I'm sitting watching question time, it's a sign times are bad enough to need it
switch on reality tv instead then!
He has nothing to say , he speaks from an list of instructions and cannot reply without talking drivel. He is known in Scotland as DRoss.
Hes not listening he just has absolutely fk all to say back hahahaha this man has as much of a spine as a wet paper bag
The threat of violence is inherent in Scottish culture lol. These idiots know there is the genuine possible of violence use against them and the area I live in Edinburgh they never campaign 😂 they only send flyers because they are afraid for their safety. This fool knows he has to live here and with a population of just 5.4 million none of them can really hide lol.
there not Scottish representatives they are English puppets and work for the English branch to hate there own country.....
Again with the claim that energy bills are capped at £2,500.
He couldn’t even say yes with a straight face 😂
The Torys are living in wonderland. 😆😅😆😅😆😆😆😅😅
@@januszdelondres more like hell and people who keeps voting for them wants others in hell too
Not for much longer!
And SNP are not ??? Ho Ho Ho. Did not think I would hear any new jokes at my age.
@@januszdelondres I'm English not British.I hope you guys do get independence, if I was Scottish I'd fight for it.
Cloud cuckoo land more like!😼
Bruce made a decent pass at disguising her anguish over the concept 'the Tory Party is finished.'
The tory party isn't fnished, the country is, by design. Those tories will just move elsewhere.
I’d like to know. Who is actually running this country? Our government or big corporations? That is the question I think it’s the latter
well just wait for the investment zones and you'll definitely know the answer . I'll give you a clue it's not very democratic more indentured servitude. I thought this was a dystopian fable for tin foil hat wearing loons but no it could be a living nightmare.
Well done, now move on to level 2 👏🏼
It's always big business. Why would people give huge donations if they weren't expecting something in return? The entire system is corrupt.
If the Tories make themselves clear any more, they'll become invisible, in otherwords, "Gone"!
"Pleeeeeaaaassseeee vote conservative we could have made you suffer even more but we were nice enough to change our mind!"
If Labour went for Proportional Representation there would almost never be a Tory government t.
Whatever Labour build, the Tories underfund, wreck and/ sell off.
If you want to stop the Tories forever, Vote for Scottish Independence.

How about a trickle up, give to the poor and the richest can get the crumbs, just an idea
This actually works. When the workers have money, they spend it in the economy as opposed to stashing it away offshore.
Bubble up, I think is the term.
Just look at biden in America. Strong dollar on the back of costed infrastructure building a large plan to solve the issues that have happened since Reaganomics. We instead are doing something stupid
Give it to the poor and it ends up in the pockets of the rich, anyway, but at least the poor survive. But that's the problem the tories are seeking to address, the survival of the poor.
The main worry here is the amount of people who would still vote tory, 25% odd of voters still see what in the tories? They should be in single digits right now
It’s easier to con a man than explain to a man he’s been conned.
@@PastaSauce. it's not conning it's full on indoctrination
The electorate are mostly deluded into a belief that voting Tory makes them some how elevated.
Scottish Tories, like opening a ski resort in the Nairobi Desert.
RIP Douglas' career.
It takes more than you think to scrape shite off your shoes.
"Do you thin she will win?"
"Yes."
"WOW."
yet more evidence of how detached from reality the Tories are.
If the Tories don't like being called "detestable" then just perhaps they should stop doing "detestable" things to the rest of us...
Feeding off the crumbs of a rich man’s table - the Belle and Sebastian guy absolutely nailed it with his analysis of the ridiculous notion of trickle-down economics.
I love all this “need new ideas” tosh. The Tories’ have (and only will have) one idea, and that’s increasing shareholder value either through expansion of the private sector or by reducing all business costs (either through labour or tax) and at a certain level of doing that there’s nothing left to give in the economy and society starts to break and unravel.
There is no ‘new idea’ for them, aside from blaming the legacy of problems they created on a Starmer government, or going further down the culture war rabbit hole of misinformation and bigotry.
From Kwarteng saying he's "not going anywhere" to being "sacked" - that's one hell of a u-turn!
Yeah in only a few hours .
When they say that "....they are going nowhere...." you know they're done and it's only a matter of days.
Scottish indépendance seems extremely logical right now.
😆
literally don't know anyone that wants it, as much as we want out we know it's just going to be terrible. SNP are fucking terrible.
@@SNAFUferret Because the British government is doing so well lately? 🤡
IT will never be logical,it will however be Lucrative and Power Bestowing - For Handfull, - An SNP Handfull
@@philiprufus4427 So it makes more sense to stay in a union where the elected party - a party which Scotland overwhelmingly DID NOT VOTE FOR - chooses to ignore the elected leader of Scotland? I cannot understand your logic, mate.
We in Scotland already know
That labour is finished never mind the torys.
not a fan of labour right now and im certainly not voting tory, but SNP has had their chance and fucked it so not voting them now.
Aren't Labour the 3rd party in Scotland?
An honest politician would be so refreshing. If that conservative leader had just said - no obviously she won't win, then he'd have gained so much respect
Not in Scotland he wouldn't , he is pretty much a figure of ridicule hereabouts. He won his seat on a list vote for Edinburgh parliament and with RAF Lossiemouth's English service personnel , he just scraped by and beat SNP by a couple of dozen votes for UK parliamet.
He's a total sausage.
We had one. But because he wsn't prepared to destroy the entire world he was considered a risk.
@@happinesstan Jeremy Corbyn?
Corbyn IS an honest politician who cares about the people
@@RedScotland that's very idealistic. What if we have to vote on something technically complex that is surrounded in a shroud of deliberate misinformation? - then direct democracy just becomes mob rule - who has the biggest ad budget to get the mob riled up the most
It would be funny if it were not so serious. How anyone can still vote tory is beyond me. I would like to see the SNP pull their fingers out and go for independence instead of faffing about going down legal cut-de-sacs.
Look, as a member of the SNP I gotta say I understand your frustration, but we can't do that! First off it would simply lead to the same situation Catalonia is in, with our leaders being sent to prison. Secondly, if somehow this undemocratic secession from the UK was successful then we would be an unrecognised state, so we couldn't enter NATO, the EU, or form trade deals. Thirdly, there is a concept identified by political theorist and sociologist Max Weber called 'legal-rational'. This concept basically means that the legitimacy of a government comes from its basis in the law, and so if that government does not abide by that law, then in the eyes of the masses, it is illegitimate.
So yea, I understand your annoyance, but these legal cul-de-sacs are necessary to create a stable, prosperous independent Scotland.
@@thelegend_doggo1062 There is already legal precedent and that was 2014. I have been voting for independence since 1968. As things stand in the next GE I will no longer vote for the SNP but vote for Alba if there is a candidate in my constituency.
@@alisdairmclean8605 The reason the 2014 referendum was legal is because Westminster gave temporary powers to the Scottish government to hold the referendum. They are refusing to do so now, which is why we are going to the supreme court.
By the way, I respect you for supporting independence essentially from day one, and I really hate to sound rude, but have you had your head in the sand or something? The SNP have already announced that there will be a referendum for independence next year if the supreme court rules that we have the power to do so. And if it rules the other way, then the next general election will be treated as a de facto referendum. This means that if the majority of Scots vote for pro-independence parties like the Greens, SNP or ALBA then we will have a mandate to declare independence.
To put it in simple terms, the SNP IS pursuing independence, so I would strongly advise you to continue supporting the SNP as they have done so much for both the independence movement and for Scotland. (Also the ALBA party is just a bunch of wackos.)
Dross is a laughing stock. This mess didn't start with Truss and Kamakazi. This has been going on since they made us go through austerity because the banks messed up. But the Tories all got richer and their donors and mates. Enough is enough.
Douglas Ross the unacceptable face of everything wrong with Scotland ......little pipsqueak 😠😠
It's amazing how not a single Tory MP understands the policy they have put in place on energy. Every one of them describes it as a cap of £2500 but it isn't. It's a cap which will mean the average home isn't paying more than £2500. If you are sick, elderly, have young children or an older less efficient home you may find you use more energy than the average and pay more than that.
Its is not capped at 2.5k
I'm not watching it again, so did they not mention the average bill would be capped around 2.5 thousand?
@@Mark-Haddow they never say the average. They keep saying it is a 2.5k cap as if it's a hard cap
@@Mark-Haddow for the record i know it is the average but it is always lazily stated as just a cap so those not paying attention will assume it is a hard cap
'They're exhasuted, they feel like they've run out of ideas...'
Trying to implement century-old and discredited ideologies regardless of the obvious and demonstrable negative impacts to the majority of citizens tends to do that.
Bet Fiona Bruce is really annoyed that her Tory favourites are being hammered by everyone.
the elec/gas bills are not capped at that stage - they keep lying about this - the cap is for day rates - look at the bills estimated by your provider to see they are well over £4000
Wee London Lap Dug
Truss wee bawbag in Holyrood, total delusion
Westminster/establishment lap dog I think he means,and Westminster is in London so yeah...
@@januszdelondres jeez when people say Westminster it's a broad term for Parliament...you're just being pedantic. Pat on the head for being so clever
@@januszdelondres I think you should re read what people are saying. No one has said there isn't poverty in London/Westminster neighbourhood, you're confused. The parliament in Westminster in London is what people mean...
@@januszdelondres have a wee nap pal. You don't seem to understand. Either that or you're just trolling. This is a video about politics, London is where the Parliament for the UK is,just as Edinburgh is where the Scottish Parliament is. When people talk about uk politics they tend to use broad statements,especially when referring to parliment/seats of government...
The Story Party.
Energy bills are NOT capped at 2.5k. The rates and unit cost are capped - households can (and many will) end up paying more. Further, energy costs are a factor in the price of virtually every single product and the coming price rises will exacerbate the already dire rate of inflation.
Even with the energy cap, energy prices have doubled in the past year.
@@martindornan1667 indeed - they think the price cap is a success story when really it only highlights the failure of their laissez-faire politics
Douglas Ross looks like he's comfort eating a lot.
Well he is a tory and is obviously profiteering from the wholesale robbery that's taking place, he can afford it.
Can't stand Douglas Ross, but this is not really a helpful comment.
@@Cakeashake Yes, like you I mainly come to CZcams for the helpful comments.
he is also the shittest linesman in Scottish football.
That Scottosh Tory is talking BS.
In fairness to him, he did the best h could on the “do you think Truss can win an election” question. Obviously he had to say yes, but he did so with a smile on his face to give the world his real answer.
He could have been honest, it would have been more engaging.
"No I don't think she can win, but I think the Tory party could stand a chance with a little leadership reform" would have shown a little more gumption.
It's like catching a kid covered in chocolate, claiming they don't know who ate the chocolate, with that "no, really" look on their face. 🤷
@@counterf8515 his answer was that, if you actually read between the lines.
@@Heathen.Deity. Having to read between those lines is a marker that points glaringly to his lack of gumption though, for me anyway.
In these wholely uncertain times people get fed up of the word puzzle that is deciphering political rhetoric.
Anyway, I'm off to Russia 👋😬
@@counterf8515 I certainly agree, to a point, but reading between those lines is often, such as this case, made intentionally easy. Enjoy Russia however. I hear there’s plenty of free and unoccupied homes in the more rural areas for some reason.

I could understand the comparison though, when facing the UK property market and the current problem facing mortgage holders.
I'm sure my shack will be cosier their than it would be here, this coming winter.
It's not capped at £2,500. The price of the unit has been capped.
Could you imagine the glee if Buckingham Palace only had to pay £2.5K per year. Or any retail business to be fair..
Even with the cap the price of energy has doubled.
From what I observed, Scottish Tories seem to consider themselves as some sort of endangered minority. There was a LOT of complaining about how they are "treated unfairly".
Well, they are an endangered minority, but that's because they are being rewarded fairly for their actions 😉

BRAKING NEWS: Liz Truss has just sacked Kwasi Kwarteng as chancellor 😂🤣😂🤣😂
UK: [pretends to be shocked]
‘Braking’ really?
I love it when Tories try to pretend they care about the people with low incomes! HUMOR!
Flip flops over everything absolute 🚀
Its so true...people are suffering and Liz just continues her impression of a cheap digital recorder.
No they have never cooked fresh food and have no idea what to do with food that is unprocessed and requires effort.
Anas Sarwar has a very interesting accent. He has been proven right about Kwarteng being finished.
Hardly a difficult prediction to get right
i’d imagine previous Scottish Tory leaders having the sense to distance themselves from this debacle, he’s just tied his own future to a government that is collapsing and i cannot imagine that won’t be brought back to him again and again, so, at least in Scotland, i think he’s going to regret that.
What did they pocket from shorting the ££££££. There's corruption which needs to be investigated. Jail them
He’ll change his mind by Tuesday and will be demanding she resigns.
Tuesday?
By Lunch time Friday
I genuinely feel sorry for him, not even ironically. He's not a "Tory" by any measure but a centre right unionist who is stuck defending the leader of a English party unrecognisable to him. His job is to manage a sinking ship with the only good outcome being a resurgent Labour at his own party's expense. Sure, he could resign, but in favour of who exactly? I mean even Mogg said he was a lightweight and he's literally the leader of the Scottish Conservatives.
Fair points except a resurgent Labour- Sarwar is totally corrupt to the marrow and really should be a Tory or in prison for vat fraud.
There will be NO Labour resurgence in Scotland , certainly not prior to independence.
He doesn't have to.
Got no sympathy for someone who will defend a sh*tshow no matter how farcical it gets.
It was extremely disrespectful when Mogg called him lightweight, but he's being exposed as just that. He first defends the budget/position that comes out and then has to flip completely whenever the PM changes/changes her mind.
If that's making him appear ridiculous these days it's because he's willing to accept it. God forbid that the unionist Tory leader in Scotland disagrees with a Westminster policy!
Don't forget that man picks up 3 wages, English government one, Scottish Government and a few hundred pounds in hand when running the line at a football match, I don't feel sorry for him at all, his greed for money is forefront of his politics, while people he is SUPPOSED to represent, gets hand outs from foodbands and clothes banks and worries about heating their homes, something he will not be doing this year, but hopefully next year he just might.
@@joankilpatrick5726 Dross has that much money coming in from all these jobs he can't even keep account of the money he's getting and "Accidentally forgets" to declare £30k that "Accidentally" slipped down the side of his sofa but I'm sure he'll find some way of blaming the SNP for that one if tackled on it.
Aren't the tories responsible for removing the cap on energy bills in the first place? They make it sound like they're going to save the day, but they caused this mess. It's so much worse for businesses. They're relying on everyone having bad short term memory or something.
This is why the tories should have no place in British politics, this blind loyalty to their careers and their party. Truss has taken the country to an economic cliff edge and everyone can see it…. Including this Scottish Tory, yet he is supporting her like a nodding dog rather than look after the interests of the country
The Tory on the panel:
"We are listening and understand people's concerns."
The singer tells him what the people's concerns are and while he's speaking that same Tory is shaking his head as if to say, "I'm not listening to that, it's not true." Does anyone require any further evidence of how out of touch the Tories are?>
Douglas Ross getting in practice for his Fringe stand up routine early this year.
Just for balance there are many people who AREN'T struggling to pay their bills!! Top bbc execs, utility bosses, Bankers, Boss of BP. Boss of Shell. Boss of Waitrose 1million pounds per year!! I could go on.
Kwasi Kwarteng went to Washington DC to talk about the economy and when he returned to the UK he was sacked.
Truss out.
Tories out.
Independence for Scotland.
How, in a country that votes so heavily for the SNP, did the BBC manage to get an audience stacked with people who attacked the SNP all night?
That should be investigated by an independent (overseas) agency.
the yes or no bit took me back to limmy
She doesnt have the support of backbench Tories. Over the period of morning herself and side kick did NOT consult or explain to their backbenchers. An think thank stooge.
We need to get Fiona Bruce off question time. The massive Tory!
Ross will be unemployed as soon as the public has a say. He is clearly just a deluded yes man and now Kwarteng has been sacked and Truss cannot go on he looks a bigger fool than ever.
Sarwar pays the minium wage to his employees I'm told, is he setting up food banks so they can eat I wonder
Bye bye kwasi! Lol
I bet he is trying to find a very large rock to crawl under right now
Abolish parties in government and bring in individual representatives for local areas to represent the people not the parties in parliament
Douglas Ross @2:41: "We're seeing inflation at higher levels than in the UK, in the United States, in Australia, in Canada".
Inflation in Australia around 6.1%. Canada's around 7%. USA 8.1%. UK around 10%.
Time for the pendulum to swing left.
We need a Democratic Socialist Party
The Tory guys comments didn’t age well…
"The chancellor is saying"
Aaaaaaaaand the chancellor is gone LMOA
A lot of people with mortgages won't have to worry about their heating bills going up. Truss has solved that by making so many of them homeless by making their mortgages too expensive by her incompetence..
Why does she keep deferring to the Tory?
The programme is made to be broadcast on the Brexit Bollocks Corporation.
There’s a Tory leader in Scotland?
Thanks for pointing that out..hahaa!
Just an office rep really. Could have gotten an intern from Tory Home to do it hahaha
Had this on in the background and thought "who's that guy speaking loads of sense" Turns out it's the lead singer of one of my favourate bands as a teenager - why is it always the entertainment people and not the political people who get it right?
He should sit and watch this ,with people explaining it to him
While I don't agree with his party or their politics, full credit to him for coming across coherently. He isn't rude, he doesn't resort to the typical sensationalist, laddish and smug jeering that so many other Tories do when confronted with difficult questions.
I get your point but I refuse to be grateful for something they all should be doing anyway. I get your point though, it is coherent & composed. He's still a Tory, a Scottish Tory.
@@robinmcara793 you are totally right. "Politician is a polite human being" shouldn't be so rare that it is a cause for recognition.
@@_stitch yeah, the Tories often try to make us feel grateful for things they say they have done when in reality they are probably claiming the credit for something they haven't done themselves. The whole system need a serious shake up. People are struggling, really stressed & worried and our politicians are still arse-ing about, throwing childish jeers across at each other across parliament. It's pathetic mate. We need calm, steady, sensible leadership to get us back on track as a Country.

Liz Truss is in office but not in power. Most MPs will be dreading a phone from her, not because they’ve done anything wrong, they just don’t fancy being Chancellor this week. She currently has the authority and gravitas of a post it note on a sandwich in communal fridge.
1:49 when I see people like this I fear for an independent Scotland. I am 100% certain that if Scotland becomes independent that within a couple of Scottish elections a group of super-rich, corrupt and detached from reality ex-Tory MPs will be in charge using the same tactics they use here in England. Divide and conquer and fear-mongering.
I grew up in Scotland and England and my family is a mix of Scottish, Welsh and English so from England I support Scotland staying but if I still lived in Scotland I would vote SNP because they are leftist. In fact, it's disappointing I can't vote them in, in England too as mad as that sounds. That said I think the left (not Labour) in Scotland can maintain power for longer and achieve more as part of the UK than if they get independence and the above scenario plays out.
So Scots shouldn't go independent because they'll end up with tories in charge.....
Indeed. You wouldn't want the fire brigade (SNP) doing your household budget, but whilst the house is on fire ..
That is why independence is just a start, and could be good or bad depending if the people organise amongst themselves against exploitation from the rich.
You say you worry for and independent Scotland but what you describe is exactly what we have now in the UK. The Tories are already putting steps in place to reduce the powers of the Scottish parliament and would remove it altogether if they thought they could get away with it. Devolution is no protection and against UK governments that wish to remove the devolved parliaments.
I grew up in England and have lived in Scotland for nearly 10 years but I can clearly see they many issues that Scotland suffers through being part of the UK. It took some time but as the years went by I couldn't reconcile the policies that could be in place with those that are imposed on Scotland from Westminster. Spending hundreds of millions every year to mitigate cruel tory policies could be better used to invest and build Scotlands economy in a way that suites the people of Scotland, not that of the city of London.
Scotland already has client media for the tories but still never votes them in, at least with an independent Scotland we can embed a fair voting system in, making it far harder for these things to happen. At the moment we have funding directly linked to the UK government spending in England. If this government push through their cuts then Scotland suddenly gets a lot less money despite not making that decision. Having to wait for the actions of another government before you can plan financially is no way to run an economy, Scotland can do far better than this current farce when independent.
@@danmayberry1185 Why? The Scottish government have to stay within budget every year, they are far better at budgeting than the tories in Westminster.
Anas was right: Kwasi is finished. Literally.
BBC just announced he's finished, gone.
The only thing worse than a Tory, is a scottish Tory 😂 Im sure all Scottish people would agree
Anas Sarwar 💯
Truly laughable with Liz Truss questioning Keir Starmer in PMQ’s! Nope, she is the one supposed to be answering not asking.
So many U Turns I thought some kids had been doing wheelspin burnouts on the roads!
“Oh the nation is in a terrible state, vote Tory and we will fix this mess”
ELECTION NOW!
I have a few Scottish friends but never figured when they laughed it was in Scottish. I travelled the world a bit on business and pleasure , enjoyed lap dancing in Finland, Pole dancing in Warsaw, and even got into a fight once where I was kicked in the Balkans.
Shush now boomer.
