I guess being a traitor is not seen as being a bad thing these days - the world is all back to front 🤦‍♂️

"Please stop trying to become independent and go on to become the richest country in Europe, you're just embarrassing yourself!" - HouseJock Snollygoster.

Apparently, it’s socially unacceptable to compare anyone or anything to Hitler. Mention Hitler, and you’ll be shouted down with a chorus of “Godwin’s Law”. Well sod that. Until we start comparing Trump to Hitler, we’re unprepared for what is barrelling towards us. 🧵1/4

This should have been a moment of profound national learning - about the corruption that serves our elite - but the Cabinet Office which ran the VIP Lane sought to close the discussion down and Labour unaccountably let them. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Reform's plans to end indefinite leave to remain go to the post I wrote last week on their slide towards chaotic authoritarianism. The British constitution would allow them to do it if they had a majority but at vast cost to our society and way of life. samf.substack.com/p/the-route-...

Any journalist quoting this absurd, invented £234 billion number cited by Farage/Reform should make absolutely clear that it has been withdrawn by *its own authors* (the Centre for Policy Studies) after they admitted it contained several major errors (1/3)

Reform party will eventually come after citizens, with parents who were born abroad, like myself. My friends and I have had this discussion for some time. Make no joke about it, if they get into power they will need to continue to enrage the British voting public, they need chaos to thrive.

There's a strong possibility that, despite his unpopularity in Scotland, we'll have this joker thrust on us as the next British PM. Only independence can stop this failure in democracy. #IndyNow youtu.be/reQaq3ArAak

I know with absolute certainty that if Keir Starmer had been in government there would have been no PPE VIP Lane. Don’t ever tell me, Labour are like Tories.

Article talks of betrayal of voters but fails to mention.. Farage’s precious Brexit caused the labour shortages that exploded legal migration.. And the Brexit/EU withdrawal agreement would need to be renegotiated with this latest stupid, nasty idea. Irresponsible politics. Irresponsible reporting.

So Reform / Farage want to deport hundreds of thousands, possibly millions of UK residents, turning the country into an effective police state, breaking treaties, and impoverishing the economy and health service? Just focus on all that. The moral gutter of politics.

Utterly absurd. For instance I know one couple - one Iranian, one Greek who have lived here for forty years under indefinite leave to remain permission. They spent their adult lives here. worked. Paid taxes. Bought homes. Had children who live & work here

The Reform right like the MAGA right are completely fact averse and know that they can bullshit their way to power because their followers simply don't care about truth. That's the threat this country faces, and it strikes me that our media are ill equipped to tackle it and failing us all.

The last name of the Republican candidate in 2028 will be Trump and if you are in journalism and do not understand that consider a career switch

Wait for the..... <fist-bump>. #ChimpChum 🐵

Terrible advice from the Guardian, you can now be detained indefinately without trial (or evidence) in the USA and many tourists have been. It is one of the most unsafe countries in the world for Government abuse of power. Do not travel there.

This always makes me laugh

Scotland is one of the least crowded countries in Europe: England one of the highest. So why must we suffer from immigration policies set by Westminster based purely on England's priorities? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿|🇪🇺 #ScottishIndependence public.flourish.studio/visualisatio...

Her expressionless face.. The tapping of her ear How lost she looks Her little feet on the rubble Is she, as Netanyahu puts it: “A murderous Islamist terrorist organization”? Can we be real about this FFS?

Sonia Sodha, "Keir Starmer's language of immigration having caused: incalculable damage" "That is buying into a populist rhetoric that immigration is to blame for everything that is going wrong in this country" #BBCQT

I think it’s time to decide who has done incalculable harm to this country over the past decade? The list is very long; made up not of immigrants but largely of people rewarded for their treachery with peerages, ruling over us, wining & dining and generally taking our money & treating us as fools.

Lady in leopard top, "We just celebrated VE Day last week" #BBCQT "The end of fascism, Hitler, Nazis, the genocide" "And the same thing is now happening to a group of people" "How are we celebrating VE Day, while supplying arms to Israel. How could that be?"

When Germany is telling us we're off the rails, pay attention.

Farage is responsible for the most disastrous policy in post war Britain. He is close to and mimics the worst US President ever, causing global destruction and harm- including to us. And yet, Labour refuses to hold him to account for either. This is not how you defeat populism.

All the new Reform UK councillors may lack experience, but they can always rely on their strongly held convictions. Especially the ones for fraud, sexual assault and tax evasion.

Return to the old voting system, and bring in actual PR for general elections. But these are too sensible for this labour government to do.

Every new revelation about the Post Office Horizon scandal makes it even more appalling bit.ly/4cMWwLf taxpayers are still funnelling money into the computer firm whose faulty software and lies about it laid the foundations for the problem

Regional energy pricing anyone? talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2025/02/25/a...

We can live in an independent Scotland, or remain in a (dis)United Kingdom, where things just get even worse than they already are. #ScottishIndependence 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Good morning , a beauty of a #foxoftheday today shared by @GillMerritt2 , thank you Gill !

Privatisation is the fundamental reason why water is in crisis. The only other country with fully privatised water is Chile. We’re a global outlier, clinging to a failed Ponzi scheme while our rivers choke and bills rise. It’s time to bring water back into public hands.

Starmer wants to relationalise British Steel in Scunthorpe & is now in talks to reopen an Airport in South Yorkshire yet wont lift a finger for Grangemouth? It's the same old story, England first, Scotland comes a very poor second when it comes to infrastructure projects.Why do we put up with this?

Not really surprised by The Economist. They could have pointed out that Le Pen herself called for "lifelong ineligibility" for elected officials convicted of "misappropriation of public funds", but of course they didn't. bsky.app/profile/cats...

MPs have united to call for “robust legislation” to tighten the rules on political donations after fears that Elon Musk could still donate £80 million to Reform UK www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/mps...

Keir Starmer opens #PMQs with a statement on Trump's tariffs, saying "we will rule nothing out". 👉 Here's an option for the PM. A better trade deal & deep alignment with the EU could effectively cancel out the impact of US tariffs - and boost UK GDP by up to 1.5% long term.

Why aren’t you wearing a suit? Have you said “Thank you” to Greenland and Denmark for allowing you to have a base on Greenland?

Let’s wise up… and quickly. Our future and our security does not rest to the west of us. It’s lies with the rest of Europe.

Pro-tip: Norway, Sweden and Denmark have education departments.

Good.

Well done, Scotland! Great result. 👏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Former sub-postmaster Lee Castleton launching legal action against the Post Office and Fujitsu. Good on Lee. Civil judgement against him was obtained by fraud. Elsewhere Govt slow to compensate, many offered lower amounts. No one charged with mega fraud and perjury. will they ever be?
