A provisional government and delivery unit in parallel with parliament, with Indy-supporting MSPs. Focusing on areas of retained powers. Prior to declaring Indy a year later? What's not to like. Interesting thinking.

The United Kingdom ratified the ICCPR in 1976, which means it’s legally bound under international law to uphold its provisions.

Hilarious editorial from this English paper. Editor clearly surprised to notice how popular Indy parties are in Scotland and Wales, with no real understanding why.

Love how it calls the failing England-based parties "the established parties".

If Rupert Lowe thinks a Norwegian would come to this bin fire willingly. Well honestly 😜🤣🤣😜

Sunder Katwala (sundersays) @sundersays.bsky.social · 45m

Rupert Lowe proposes UK in principle should hear refugee claims only from French, German, Belgian, Dutch & Norwegian people, originally from those countries, so won't need an asylum system as nobody is eligible. (I can't see the point of pretending he'd want European refugees if there were any!)

Private Eye offers up an excellently scornful commentary on the relentless polling. It’s become ridiculous and has oversimplified our politics to dangerous levels of stupid and irresponsible.

SHOCK POLL:
NIGEL FARAGE WILL BE PM TOMORROW
IN an amazing poll conducted
by The Pointless Polling Company, it was revealed that voters' intentions
may well change over the next three and a half years and at present it's 100 percent impossible to guess what the next government might look like.
However, 99 percent of journalists
agree that it would be much more fun if we had an election tomorrow and everybody resigned and everything was chaos and Farage had a go at being PM, just for the hell of it, because it was so much fun when
Brexit happened and then the government kept falling every five minutes and we could write endless pieces about (cont. p94)
