Not my king - abolish the monarchy.
I don't automatically follow back.

I see the PM is being very rattled and very untruthful about the Greens again in the papers.
He couldn’t say this stuff in Parliament because he would be lying to the House - both about what our popular, evidence-based policies are, and about him believing this guff.

Typically, the role has been a nice little earner for a landowning Tory Leech.
The "UK" identity is a toxic figment of the English imagination, cooked up for the English in Wales, the English in Scotland and the English in Ireland.

Maybe turn Westminster into an English parliament, scrap the house of lords and put in a Senate made up of senators from all the devolved countries who would deal with major lawmaking and policy, Channel islands and crown dependencies would also get representatives and Cornwall recognised.

Exactly the same in Scotland. They don’t like the Devolved Governments doing anything that makes the English Parliament look bad. Even down to cancelling our Deposit Return Scheme. Then trying to blame Scottish Govt. Charlatans. Last vestiges of a dying Empire. Independence is normal.

Why is there no devolved English government and Secretary of State for England in this ‘voluntary’ union.

Indeed many of us felt when devolution was first implemented that the roles of SoS for Scotland, Wales and NI should have been abolished or at least restricted to areas of clearly reserved matters. Instead, they have simply worked to undermine the devolution they said they supported.

The Secretary of State roles should be scrapped completely and the UK PM should deal directly with the Welsh, Scottish and Irish First Ministers on a monthly basis in a dedicated meeting with each, individually.
It is NOT supposed to be a Viceroy role.

It’s high time that the Secretary of State model is abolished, I can’t remember the last time the role was carried out as it should (Wales voice in the cabinet).
Instead it’s always the UKGov’s voice in Wales, often enforcing political shithousery on Wales.
Scrap it.

Europe Sounds the Alarm as the United States Sides With Putin
While Russian drones target NATO allies and Ukraine’s president, Trump’s America abandons its commitments and openly embraces a strategy that weakens Europe and empowers the Kremlin.

Cabinet minister Pat McFadden said the prime minister has been ‘pretty clear’ that the UK won’t be rejoining the customs union.
Clinging to those red lines while the economy suffers & US stirs up trouble with Europe is starting to look very unwise.

Even with Scotland’s relatively large 65+ population - the group least likely to back independence - the overall picture is clear.
Across the full voting population, current polling shows YES would win a referendum with almost 59% support.
Scotland has already moved on.
