THE current members of government at Westminster obviously undergo Teflon treatment before taking up their ministerial posts. After this they are able to lie, bully, ignore Covid rules, favour their friends with extra lucrative contracts, even attempt to save a friend from paying £50 million due to the taxpayer.

These are the same people who faked £350million every week for the NHS when we leave the EU. If they had any decency they would now be telling the voters “sorry we forgot to put the minus sign in front of the £350 million on the bus”. But this is a special space-age Teflon which cannot be penetrated by truth or conscience.

With regard to Brexit, all through the negotiations it has been the ploy by the Brexit-full UK Government to delay so that both Houses of Parliament will not have time to analyse and debate the proposed future deal with the EU. It then becomes this deal or no deal.

Scotland has one route to escape all this.
