Quite right.
Devolution is a trap giving appearance of power at Hollyrood without ability to decide economic policy or borrow or spend taxes raised.
Size of Annual grant from Westminster entirely dependent upon political persuasion of Gov elected by English MPs rarely in line with Scottish voters

I'm not sure what the big deal is.........
Something north of 560 of the 650 MPs at Westminster represent English constituencies so of course Ministers can go against Welsh & Scottish wishes....what am I missing?

Too many people, including some news media, let the truth be trampled upon without thought for what is happening to us and our nation.

Israel, a depraved regime, supported to the hilt by the UK government, which goes out of its way to suppress even the mildest advocacy for the rights of Palestinians.

It's in the nature of folk being taken for a ride that they can't see it Tracey........& FYI Polanski's party isn't even standing in my country so I'm just a curious bystander watching the usual suspects go to work on the shills.

TBF, some decade or more after the event, I've little doubt that the BBC (& your good self) are being taken by the hand & walked gently down this road by interested parties who are currently in danger of soiling themselves at the thoughtof the Greens being kingmakers in 2028

in certain communities in my country it's a term of endearment....very much along the lines of the 'N' word within some cohorts of the African American community in the States particularly in so far as if you aint from there don't even think about it....

Is the U.S. ‘fighting Israel’s war’ in Iran? “At least three separate, high-ranking US officials close to Trump have now publicly said that the United States was forced into starting this war by Israel." jacobin.com/2026/03/us-i...

No particular reason for this other than a reminder of the late Queen's ability to subtly signal her disapproval of a guest without letting on for a moment what she truly thought.

Is it reasonable to assume that not all of those who support US action against Iran would also support UK involvement, in which case Badenoch could find herself at odds with a lot of Tory voters.

well you just leave him there coz you want a leader who is totally unacceptable to be in place because somehow that gives Bibi & his poodle the Tangerine Twat the excuse to continue bombing the bejeezus out of the civilian population of Tehran....which is increasingly looking like 'the plan'.
