With a leaked Labour government memo revealing Starmer's plans to override the devolved governments and impose is will on Scotland and Wales even in devolved matters, devolution has run out of road. It's independence or incorporation into a unitary UK.

Do you remember the 2024 General Election pledge that they would create 70,000 jobs for Scotland and secure Scotland's energy future?
Labour has slashed 95% of its GB Energy plan, abandoning the clean-energy targets and promised bill cuts.
A huge U-turn that risks Scotland’s energy future.
Yep. My thoughts exactly
It's especially perplexing to me as someone who actually uses that route regularly and think it's a very pleasant stretch, that's made my trips into the Buchanan Galleries/Queen Street station end of the city centre much nicer than when the best bet for years was to take the road instead
I remember that view so well. Tragic. I’m just glad there was no loss of life
Really hope the horrible Glasgow fire scenes cause a national discussion about vape shops.
Every high street in the UK has been padded with retailers of unregulated, mass made devices with incredibly flammable batteries.
Like having a fireworks factory on every street corner
Couldn’t agree more
"Seeing an attractive woman on our side, they describe her being gang raped by asylum seekers. After the hotel riots last year, 41% of those arrested had been previously reported for domestic violence. We recognise the anger in the men behind the barriers. We’ve seen it before."
Love her poems
Women Bathing by Imtiaz Dharker All our lives, in every city, out of every landscape the waters of the Alhambra have been murmuring to us. From fountains, from watercourses, from the secret pools in courtyards, voices calling across centuries. The other women are bathing in the moonlight. ‘Come,’ they say, ‘Come out of the day’s heat, out of shaded rooms, let’s escape and slip away, let the veils fall, one by one. Slide into the pools that lie like mirrors of the sky, and let the moon wash over our bodies.’ Bodies lush, generously-hipped. Bodies like pomegranates, bursting with promises.
All our lives, in every city,
out of every landscape
the waters of the Alhambra
have been murmuring to us…

I’ve just recently discovered Scrubs. I know I’m late to the party but I’m really enjoying it
Thought this was worth posting again
We are still paying off the last Labours credit card.
