These are Scottish MPs not Scottish MSPs. MSPs will so as Holyrood wishes. They are only risking their lives in as much as everyone else is, Parliament will be much more on point with precautions than your average building site.

Ok, so I was missing one part, so I'm a bit more with you.  But essentially I don't blame anyone in any workplace who can work remotely refusing to go into a stuffy building that has been shown repeatedly on the television to not be observing social distancing rules.

Childish? Not really. They are following their scientific advice.

I also wouldn't say they are nationalists, despite having it in their name.

They definitely are nationalists.

They've just said they're about to finish early for his statement, just running a little late:

I’m starting to get worried that Glasto 2021 is a gonner too. It seems like every country at the moment is following a pattern of loosening restrictions and then tightening them back up again. Vaccine isn’t coming any time soon and the distribution will take even longer than making it. 
 

Glasto 2021 was cancelled in March. We’ve essentially got 10 months to sort this shit out, and looking at it like that 10 months really isn’t that long. A second wave would easily wipe out 5 months of that...

Please take this in the right way but I think it needs to be thought of as a possibility.

But there will be things that can't be done remotely if Parliament goes back to sitting more normally.

I'm going to wait to watch Keir Starmer on the TV in an hour. He gave a really impressive performance in the Commons earlier today.

So how would you define nationalist? As I suspect we are talking at cross purposes.

I believe my workplace have issued some face shields but people have had to sign for them .... wtf !!

There are no guarantees for Glastonbury, but who exactly has loosened restrictions and then tightened them? All I can see is relaxing across the board, for now at least.

A group who think they should be a self governing nation.

They are already are a nation but they just want to be out of this shitty union with those scummy english knobheads.

Plus, they're much nicer than Hitler.

Well it's about how important you think national symbols and national identity are to how you run an administration, there are plenty of SNP voters who see independence as just a means to a more liberal society but the heart of the party is about nationalism and independence before anything else.

I tuned in and had exactly the same experience! Weird as I copied that info direct from a BBC News tweet. TV at 6.55pm allegedly.

Rumour is that the Colin Firth character - Darcey? - in the Bridget Jones books are based on him (I've not read/seen them funnily enough).

There’s a chance it will be cancelled but not because other Countries have been tightening restrictions. Not much of that yet.

 

The speed this situation has developed and will continue to develop, I wouldn’t like to predict anything right now.

Good show from Starmer. He looks extremely credible compared to Johnson in my opinion.

[SalviaPlath]

Very very good from Starmer. Bunting and clapping is meaningless if not combined with radical social change.
