I HEARD it first on the radio and could not believe it, so I checked further and lo and behold it is true: MPs can claim expenses for staff Christmas parties (but not the booze).
Have parties not caused enough concern without this? These are the MPs who voted against free school meals for pupils, who took £20 away from Universal Credit and have wasted billions on PPE, Covid fraud, battleships that can’t get past the Isle of Wight, contracts worth millions given to pals and a Chancellor who did not hedge British debt, costing the taxpayer millions, and I could list many other things.

How come the BBC in Scotland never mention any of the above but are very keen to cast slurs on the Scottish Government – and even when Ofcom finds that the BBC was biased when interviewing Baroness Ruthie they refuse to publicise it? They are getting away with all their bias in plain sight and are not one bit concerned about it. After all, they are just the Westminster government mouthpiece in Scotland and more and more people are catching on to their deceit – impartial they are not.

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
