The Five MSPs I Believe We Will Miss | Part 3/5
I first met Scottish Conservative MSP Adam Tomkins in the aftermath of his election to the Scottish Parliament in 2016.
The First Minister Needed A Crisis
“Current polls suggest the devastation of this pandemic could ensure the devastation of her political opponents in May next year.”
Should the SNP Legislate Against Hate?
“The SNP’s Hate Crime Bill unites a diverse coalition of opponents from the Christian Institute to the National Secular Society.”
Is Our Democratic Process Under Threat?
“When the public feel their politicians are for sale, it makes it increasingly hard for them to trust their leaders.”
Scotland’s New Approach Could Save Lives
“Devastating news emerged last week about the loss of a Dundonian gran aged 61 who died weighing just three stone.”
Guidance on Face Masks Divides Opinion
“From Friday this week, face coverings will become mandatory in all shopping centres and supermarkets throughout the entire United Kingdom.”
Building Back Better or Building Back Broken?
“For every steel shutter lifted and window board removed, many remain as a symbol of livelihoods lost to the virus.”
Dundee, De-Industrialisation and Deprivation
“The utterance of household names like Timex, Levi’s, NCR and now Michelin sends shivers down the spine of ordinary Dundonians.”
Will We Ever Make Poverty History?
“To make poverty history we need to make poverty personal and our response must be shaped by that lived experience.”
The Rise of the Eurosceptic Nationalist
“Jim Fairlie has written about being a truly sovereign nation and become a magnet for a number of Eurosceptic nationalists.”
Poverty is Our Most Potent Virus
“No virus takes more lives annually than poverty and not even a pandemic should displace it on the political agenda.”
