Lou middleton: We’re watching #GuardiansOfTheGalaxy but #1 son has just run out of the house because there’s a shout. Respect to all #RNLI crew and volunteers.
All you racist keyboard warriors spreading hate against the RNLI because they’re helping vulnerable immigrants, you’re worthless.

Re @alanferrier The difference between what was promised by the Yes supporters and reality is the oil price change between 2014 and 2021. Then oil was c.$100 a barrel, with indy calculations based on c.$110; now it trades around $75 having been closer to $50 for much of the time. 1/2

Re @alanferrier SNP forecast oil revenues of £6.8 billion to £7.9 billion for 2016-17, the first year of independence had there been a ‘yes’ vote. Scottish government statisticians showed that 208 million was actually raised during those 12 months – an over-estimate of some 3,500 per cent. 2/2

Re @alanferrier Does not invalidate my point. Twice as much oil at half the cost is a zero sum game. And if you are suggesting we just up the rate, whilst the new ox are exploiting marginal fields... ? Null points

Re @geoffmulgan To take advice, synthesis and decide. The civil servants are meant to bring the knowledge. Politicians politic; if you are in a one party state, like China, the state can pay for the party apparatchiks to learn. In the U.K., should it pay to train unelected people from 2/

Re @geoffmulgan a plethora of parties? I would have no problem with training junior ministers. It might even improve the awfulness which seems to govern some minister-civil servant relationships. 3/3
