David Davis seems to admit that government ministers are being paid for positions they are not fulfilling
WESTMINSTER is often called the Mother of all Parliaments and claims to be democratic and a clear representation of the people.
So where does the sentiment of Conservative MP David Davis come from as he reveals that the departure of Dominic Cummings presents an opportunity for his colleagues to form “a new relationship with openness and interaction with parliament”, even giving the Cabinet more of a say!
Is this an admission that the Westminster government are not in control and that government ministers are being paid for positions they are not fulfilling? Quite outrageous and yet again more evidence, it that were needed, of why Scotland needs to run her own affairs with urgency.

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!
