🏴Scottish Govt minister rejects claims the ferry fiasco is “an embarrassment”. ⛴️ Two new boats to cost taxpayers £400m instead of initial £97m. 🚢 Yard boss can’t rule out more £ hikes 📱A debacle explained news.sky.com/story/how-scot… 🌊 Our @SkyNews report from Isle of Arran.
@ConnorGillies @Starfish_Blue21 @SkyNews @Infante_Fran Do you honestly believe the SNP, misled, by stealth, the Scots into buying a company, that cant reasonably function. The background to that statement, the cost has trebled and the orders not complete.
@ConnorGillies @SkyNews @Infante_Fran Oh Connor I listened to your #Biased @SkyNews item this morning. You omitted to mention Calmac`s 90+% Reliability over he whole fleet? Please identify another Ferry system doing as many sailings with a higher reliability!! @ScotNational @pressjournal
@ConnorGillies @SkyNews @Infante_Fran Can you do one on aircraft carriers now, thanks
@ConnorGillies @SkyNews @Infante_Fran And yet WM has spent 5 billion on tanks that do not exist. For which Scots will be billed more than those ferries cost. Which are real.
@ConnorGillies @SkyNews @Infante_Fran “Reporting” like this is an embarrassment.
@ConnorGillies @SkyNews @Infante_Fran In all the years of Labour control of Scottish govt. not one ferry was commissioned. Easy to criticise others when attempting nothing yourself.
@ConnorGillies @SkyNews @Infante_Fran Ferries fiasco = Tory propaganda.
@ConnorGillies @SkyNews @Infante_Fran Will there be an explanation for the English Government’s billions lost on HS2 fiasco? Or the billions on a War ship that doesn’t work fiasco? Or is this not how the British media operate?
@ConnorGillies @SkyNews @Infante_Fran Is the ESN fiasco an embarrassment for UKGov? Do you even know what it is? That's where UKGov took £2bn (£160m 🏴's money) & gave it to Motorola for *nothing* in return (or zero ferries if that makes it easier for you to understand) Strangely, Sky's never called this a debacle
@ConnorGillies @SkyNews @Infante_Fran In the real world these clowns wouldn't last 5 minutes but hey ho, it's only Taxpayers money
