MICHAEL Gove, the minister for fairy dust and magic beans, has said the public should show “Christian forgiveness” for Boris Johnson and the dodgy Downing Street parties. Did the Conservative party show the same Biblical empathy for the families they cut £20 Universal Credit from?
All of the people that have been dragged into poverty by this disgrace of a UK Government, those getting home from work and having to choose whether to get something in to eat for dinner or put the heating on, I’m sure the last thing they have for Michael Gove or Boris Johnson is compassion or forgiveness.

Here’s a “prophecy” for Michael Gove – the people of Scotland will have our chance to cast judgement on Boris Johnson and his corrupt government in an independence referendum in 2023.

THE Stones’ Exile On Main Street is undoubtedly one of the greatest albums of all time. Am I the only one for whom track 11, Turd On The Run, immediately conjures up images of the Prime Minister?!

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!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
