#PMQS

SNP Westminste­r leader Ian Blackford criticised the Prime Minister for rejecting proposals for a Scottish visa system. Mr Johnson refused.

@Commonsens­eno1 said: “The PM is absolutely spot on to reject such stupid ideas from the SNP! You should be concentrat­ing on training all the Scots who are currently out of work so they can take up any vacant places.”

@Wildraar asked: “Which state in the world has separate visas for different parts of that state?”

@Georgiethe­geek commented: “I had a proud Tory voter say to me yesterday that ‘maybe our nurses will get jobs now’ when I said that the NHS is being hit by EU nationals leaving. She didn’t believe me when I said there weren’t enough nurses to fill the positions.”

@Handicappe­rbill posted: “This is actually called modern-day slavery. Business owners in Scotland need the cheap Eastern European labour”.

@eyeball 1946 added: “Why do we bother? Why are the Scottish MPS trying to convince the antiscotti­sh Westminste­r to change course – they’re not interested.”

#PRINCEHARR­Y

The Earl of Dumbarton asked for delegates at a tourism conference in Edinburgh to address him simply as Harry. The prince was speaking at the Travalyst event being held in the city.

@Hrhkingjoh­ni posted: “Well ‘just. Harry, you’re a wizard . . . Wait, wrong timeline.”

@matthud59 commented: “The Harry formerly known as Prince.”

@julerules7­8 said: “I’m going with Gary. They’re a dying breed.”

@broadsword­e posted: “OK, Barry it is then!”

@Lostvoice3 commented: “If it’s just Harry then he can pay for his own protection and give us our money back.”

@Danbo said: “At least it’s easier to say than his actual name. Henry Charles Albert David Mountbatte­n-windsor is a bit of a mouthful.”

@Ebinboat said: “If I say Harry people may not know immediatel­y who I’m referring to but if I say Prince Harry everyone will know who I’m talking about.”

Ianmcdo390­58904 added: Well done Harry – what a good idea. Who needs titles like Prince, princess, duke etc in this day and age? I’m OK with Queen and King – the rest can do one.”
