Shona Robison was baffled by some basic maths questions yesterday about how averages work. It should be a scandal that we have a completely innumerate Cabinet Secretary for Finance, but so low are the expectations of this government, Robison’s obvious incompetence is tolerated.

🚨RUBIO: USAID rife with “rank insubordination” — “we had no choice but to take dramatic steps to bring this thing under control." "They have basically evolved into an agency that believes that they're not even a U.S. government agency...they're completely unresponsive. They just don't consider that they work for the US." "They just think they're a global entity and that their master is the globe and not the United States. And that's not sustainable." “The goal was to reform it. But now we have rank insubordination. Their basic attitude is we don't work for anyone. We work for ourselves. No agency of government can tell us what to do." ."There are things that are happening at USAID that we should not be involved in funding and or that we have a lot of questions about, but they're completely uncooperative. So we had no choice but to take dramatic steps to bring this thing under control."

Astonishingly, Shona Robison, finance secretary in the Scottish government, tells Representing Border that cuts to National Insurance are bad because they "help the better off". How can she not know these cuts don't apply to income above £50K?

1/ Shona Robison gave evidence this morning to the Finance & Public Administration Committee, and did not know what the government’s target for reducing civil service headcount is. The convener of the committee had to tell the Cabinet Secretary what her own target is. 🤯

“How can we model something that doesn’t yet exist?” Ideally, a Cabinet Secretary for Finance would have some familiarity with financial modelling. Jenny Gilruth, however, believes modelling future events is some kind of voodoo, and she will have absolutely no truck with it.

“I'm not proud of the presidential primary that produced Atiku Abubakar because it fell below my expectations. But, of course, that is what we have now, and it is not good enough because I expected that we (ADC) would have done much better than this. I was an electoral officer; I witnessed some of these things that happened, and, of course, we should have outgrown them by this stage. After 26–27 years of democracy, we should not be talking about rigging of primaries or falsification of results. The coalition, as it is now, is not dead, but it is not as formidable as it was.” — Solomon Dalung

We are dealing with a party that believes they should be able to advance their agenda by any means necessary. Even if it includes violence. Republicans have tolerated this for far too long. It’s time to bring the full force of the government down on them and crush it. Enough is enough.
