THE Tory Party – lie and deny, and if all else fails lie and deny some more.
Fines issued on Tuesday for the first group of rule-breakers and no names given – every local paper gave names and circumstances of the people fined, but not the Met.
On the very day the first fines were handed out – and the first anniversary of the creation of National Covid Memorial Wall – the Tories in posh dress/suit regalia walked laughing and joking to another party bash/bribe hosted by the infamous Boris – though we don’t know who actually paid for it.

Don’t judge someone on their words but their actions – I think we can all see the actions of Boris and he could not care less. And it would seem like the rest of the Tory party fall into the same category – food banks, soaring heating costs, increases in National Insurance and still the Tories are partying.

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
