When an illegal war, likely to cause mass murder, is launched, we have a choice of 2 positions:
1. It's wrong and has to stop.
2. Hurray! Let's join in.

Much of the UK Establishment - Conservatives, Reform, the billionaire media - went straight for Option 2.
Which tells you all you need to know.

The choice is simple: full, autonomous Independence or subservience to a foreign oppressor addicted to Scottish assets.

It appears that devolution was an event after all, and not a process.

When will unions stand up to protect the rights of working people? They are under attack from the Starmer regime.

The Duchy of Lancaster collects the assets of people who die without a will in the North-West of England. This is how King Charles ended up owning the huge Wigan illegal waste dump he refuses to clean up. There is a word for describing this: feudalism.

WAKE UP SCOTLAND!

What the UK Government will do if it is judged it will go down well with the English electorate (the voter segment that wins general elections)
1. Bring Scottish NHS into one UK wide, one size fits all post NHS health service.
2. Privatize Scottish Water the last big public utility treasury casher.

Greed what it’s all about

From mandatory ID cards to arresting pensioners for holding up cardboard signs to cosy deals with US tech spy firms:

It's good to see lawyers pushing back on their increasingly authoritarian Govenrment.

We must protect jury trials.

This very straight news piece buried deep within the FT never uses words like corruption or insider dealing but every detail is quietly devastating. Why is the FT virtually alone in the UK media in covering this important story?

Iran war sends oil prices climbing. These countries are better protected thanks to renewables Uruguay bets on wind, hydro; Denmark has significantly reduced reliance on fossil fuels.

Keir Starmer: Leaked memo says ministers can go against Wales and Scotland The memo was obtained by Plaid Cymru, which has accused Labour of turning its back on devolution.

Westminster had been overruling devolved decisions for years - more than 13 times - but now they're going to make it official. Are you Yes yet? #Scotland #Hokyrood26 #SNP1SGP2

KEIR Starmer has been accused of a "direct assault" on devolution after a leaked memo revealed him suggesting the UK Government should be prepared to go against the wishes of devolved nations when making decisions about them.

FACTS:

Net Zero barely nudges your bill.

Fossil‑fuel wars send it through the roof.

So when Farage and his ilk slags off renewables while fanning conflict, remember who actually hikes your costs.

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.

Everyone knows who and what Reform UK stand for:

⚫️ The wealthy few.

⚫️ Scrapping international human rights protections.

⚫️ And privatising the NHS in favour of an insurance-based system.

The worrying part is that some still think it’s worth it because they believe immigration will be stopped.

The literal tankers of 💷💷💷💷💷💷💷 🥃 leaving Islay’s shores - and all Scotland gets back from UKGOV is crumbs from the table

Scotland will contribute £14,000,000,000, in VAT alone, in 2026. It ALL goes to Westminster. Brexit also starved us of staff. Scotland didn't vote for it.

In spite of this bonkers UK Tax landscape, Scottish Hospitality is BOOMING.
