Nigel Farage wants the UK out of the European Convention on Human Rights.
He has also attacked animal welfare and environmental protections. When someone tells you they want to remove protections, believe them.

🇨🇦🇺🇦 Zelensky: Thank you for the meeting, Mark!

Russia keeps tormenting our cities and our people. Moscow has turned down even the proposals for a Christmas ceasefire and is intensifying the brutality of its missile and drone strikes.

I'd be absolutely fine with this. And with Independence, Scotland would have the added bonus of no House of Lords too 👏

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%

Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%

Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.

As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

Our country needs a better quality of politician. People with principles who don’t bend them depending on perceived prevailing winds

We also need to dump our 2 party system for PR.

If Brexit was just “what the people wanted,”
why were its consequences hidden, its promises abandoned, and its damage denied — while no one in power faced meaningful responsibility?

"Unlike foster carers, most kinship carers are not entitled to a financial allowance"...

Whilst the article does mention Scotland, it fails to point out that here carers of "looked after" children receive 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘢𝘮𝘦 financial help as foster carers.

Burnout is not a personal failure. It is the result of an economic system that steals time, daylight and energy from our lives.

Light is a public good. Time should not be a privilege. A society that denies people light cannot be surprised when they struggle to heal.

Just look south to see how Reform behaves if it gets power.
Reform led Derbyshire Council are planning to shut 8 care homes. Reform led Lancashire Council are shutting 5 care homes and 5 day centres.

Perhaps the people of those counties might want to reconsider who to support at the next local elections? 🤷‍♂️

We can talk about the economics and whether the EU would allow it but, from a domestic politics POV, rejecting the idea would be perverse.

The only groups Labour might hope to appease wouldn't be and are a minority.

When an insurrectionist, along with his election deniers was elected, the constitution became null and void. They just do whatever they want without congressional approval. Trump even openly said he doesn't know if he has to uphold the constitution.

Reform UK have repeatedly said that Kent is their "flagship" council and "the shop window" for how they intend to run things.

When they are exposed as planning to slash social care for old people, in order to hire their cronies as advisors at £150k a pop, I think people should believe them. ~AA
