I believe that Scotland should give Westminster an ultimatum.
Rejoin the EU or Scotland will do it alone,whatever it takes.
Do you want the battle?

Surely with today's technology it's possible to see where the Russian attacks with drones are being launched. If it's possible then it can soon be stopped.

There is a centuries old ploy used by autocratic disruptors. Create false narrative and break old bonds destroying the standard of living and social fabric. Blame the 'other' for the results of your ploys. Persuade the now disgruntled people that you can fix it. Take control! Make yourself wealthy!

Starmer blaming #Brexit for tax rises may be accurate but when only 37% of a now disproportionately dead electorate voted for it almost 10 yrs ago, based on undeliverable lies, the questions are why should the rest of us stomach it & where is Labour’s plan to change that? archive.ph/2025.10.10-2...

Brexit Bin 🇪🇺 🇬🇧 🇩🇪 @brexitbin.bsky.social · 22h

"Brexiteers boasted that leaving the EU would be worth hundreds of billions a year. Cambridge Econometrics estimates that over the next decade Britain's economy will be £300bn smaller than if we had not left the EU. This is self-harm on a heroic scale."

We all know Brexit’s to blame for the crisis facing UK steel – it’s time for politicians to be honest and reverse it | Simon Jenkins

With British industry faltering, the excuse that the public wants this is risible. Parliament must force Starmer to act, says Guardian columnist Simon Jenkins

He doesn't LOSE it. He was never in line for it for many reasons. People don't lose Nobel recognition, there are simply much more deserving cases. That's the post!

Farage's lies continue to bite and to reduce the quality of life of UK citizens.

A reporter asked the chair of the Nobel Peace Prize committee why Trump didn’t win, and the guy basically said it’s because he has no courage or integrity. Absolutely brutal.

On behalf of all the Palestinians and Israelis murdered by Hamas and Netanyahu's IDF, I hope the murderers and those who sent them, rot in hell.
It is difficult to put into words the depth of disgust I feel for those people. Evil beyond imagination! Fascist Filth!
Shame on those who sustained them!

Let's see if he starts doing what the electorate wants and gets us right alongside the EU in readiness for the rejoin.

💩Thames Water's creditors are trying to strike a deal with Ofwat that could let them off complying with pollution rules until 2040.

There's a better way than their dirty tricks!

Public ownership - because we should have a say in how our water is run.

If you live in the Thames Water area I suggest you support this 👇 solution to the company's debt mountain.
Privatisation of public utilities is a moral outrage.
By the way, both right wing Parties do this stuff to feed their greed.

Being anti-fascist is clearly a threat to the fascists now exercising authority over the citizens of the USA.
You'd think people would have had enough of fascism with Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Mao, Franco, Salazar, Putin, Jong UN, Xi, Orbán, Lukashenko, Bolsonaro.
Now Trump wants a go! Ooof!

I'm pretty sure he's expecting not to win it. He seems to think it's going to someone who's done 'nothing' to deserve it. He probably recognises that being a fascist authoritarian, a world class liar and a 34 count criminal is a wee bit of a hindrance.
Who knows? Maybe it isn't! 🤷

It's almost intractable. It's entirely political and therein lies the problem.
Political views are largely based on emotional development and response to experiences.
I contend that the leadership of BOTH sides are FASCISTS and THAT is the enemy of all meaningful civilian life.

Verbally attacking Jewish students on University campus in response to the Israeli/Hamas war is unworthy of the student body.
Both sides in the war, AT THE HIGHEST POLITICAL LEVEL, have failed their own people and demonstrated a complete disregard for the lives of others.

Russians need to rise up and repudiate Putin and his criminal gang. He is sending Russian boys into the meat grinder. Soon there will be too few Russian boys to keep the population numbers healthy.
