TORIES are making and breaking the rules.
Matt Hancock was reportedly drinking in a House of Commons bar after the 10pm curfew and has repeatedly refused to answer questions about it.
Tory campaigners including an MP were seen flouting rules in a car park in Cove not wearing masks, flouting the rule of not meeting more than two households, and if that were not enough they were not socially distanced.

But in the meantime the Department of Health and Social Care is passing on details of people thought to be breaking rules on self-isolation to the police for further action and possible fines.
All of the above expect the rest of us to obey the rules but they don’t seem to apply to themselves.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
