This is spot on. Many insist Scotland wanting to be independent is somehow anti-English. It’s not. We’ll be delighted if England does well, but in the meantime we’d like to, and are entitled to, make our own choices.

Seems an appropriate day to remind everyone that Scotland voted 62% Remain, and that support for it has *risen* since. After the last nearly 9 years of Brexit chaos I hope that many who voted No to Scottish independence in 2014 are reconsidering that decision. We really are not ‘BetterTogether’.

“Spain’s economy expanded by 3.2% last year. This outpaced Germany’s 0.2% contraction, France’s 1.1% growth and was also ahead of Britain, whose total GDP grew by 0.9% last year”.
What was crucial to this growth?
Immigration and the movement of people.

The Independent asked me to respond to the prime minister's comments about the risk of the UK becoming "an island of strangers, not a nation that walks forward together" I said the PM's comments may legitimise Reform's worldview and give it a home in the political mainstream.
