"not only dealing with devolution in bad faith, but undertaking a direct assault on the democratic views of devolved governments"
The only parties on Scotland's side are the Scottish ones: the SNP and Scottish Greens.

It's no longer OK for you to sit in the house of Lords because your dad did.
But if your mate put you there?
That's fine.
Neither of these really feel like democracy to me.
4/ Ok, so what ARE the goals? It seems, primarily, destroying lots of missiles and boats and drone factories.
But the question that stumped them: what happens when you stop bombing and they restart production?
They hinted at more bombing. Which is, of course, endless war.
The man is just another lying snake in the grass from Westmonster.
Excellent analysis of Starmer’s view of Devolution. Westminster wil never change, so becoming a normal, self-governing country is the only solution for Scotland.

Westminster is planning to overrule devolution. All those things that ScotGov chooses to do differently and better for us are at risk. Are you *really happy with that, Scotland? #Scotland
Contrary to what politicians & the media would have you believe, Social Security spending is not spiralling out of control. Who says so? The OBR.

Did #bbclaurak speak in these emotive terms about Palestinians in body bags? Did she ask the Israeli president (who was also on the program this morning) about footage & images she's seen from Gaza & ask how on earth he justifies that?
Of course she didn't.
Warmongers don’t change. Having taken the UK into Iraq at the behest of the USA, Tony Blair now wants to do the same in Iran.

FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?
Thoughts & prayers with BBC Scotland at this difficult time.
Here’s Wee Ginger Dug highlighting how they’ve been forced to downplay the results of their own poll on independence.

Screenshot of an X post by Acyn quoting CNN: “We’re told that Pentagon briefers did make a stark acknowledgment, and that was that there was no indication that Iran was preparing to preemptively strike U.S. bases.” Below is a CNN split-screen segment showing a female anchor on the left and a male correspondent on the right. A red “BREAKING NEWS” banner reads: “SOURCES: BRIEFERS TO CONGRESS UNDERCUT WHITE HOUSE CLAIM OF IMMINENT IRANIAN THREAT.”
Just like Venezuela does not send fentanyl to the U.S. and Iraq did not have weapons of mass destruction. It’s all been false flags to justify military aggression and war.
Spain's decision to expel US assets being used to attack Iran exposes an uncomfortable truth for countries like Germany, Italy, Britain & Belgium.
The rest of Europe is still indirectly collaborating in the 🇺🇸🇮🇱 attack by allowing bases here to be used.
Has Trump blundered in attacking Iran? Here’s an interesting piece suggesting that killing Middle Eastern leaders usually brings about even worse outcomes.

How much humiliation will Anas Sarwar put up with in his quest for an ermine robe? Once again, his London Masters tell him to get back in his box. That’s how Westminster views Scotland.

Seeing how Nigel Farage reacts to defeat in a by-election is a good indicator of how he’ll treat democracy when he becomes PM.

Can't wait to see Zia Yusuf deport his parents then himself!
But then their hateful bullshit rhetoric is never aboot them or theirs. Its always aimed at others to protect themselves and protect millionaires & the Epstein Class to keep the grift🙄
Don't be distracted by the awful things Reform are saying about immigration from the awful things Labour are doing with SEND.
The BBC: censoring pro-Palestinian comments but happy to let the world hear a racial slur. It makes you wonder which type of audeince they are pandering to.
No, actually, I don’t wonder.

Donor suspended from Tories pays £50,000 for dinner with Kemi Badenoch.
That is 2+ years of minimum wage.
Monies at this scale are paid to buy influence and favours.
Criminalizing purchase/sale of political parties and legislators is a necessary step for ending political corruption.
Oh wow!!! maternity pay for teachers in England increased to eight weeks by Labour!!! Under The SNP in Scotland they have been enjoying 13 weeks since 2002.
Oops. Turns out Persona, Discord’s age-verification service, was secretly screening selfies against government watchlists AND accessible by the feds. It's backed by Peter Thiel.
“The state wants to see everything. The corporations want to see everything. And they've learned to work together.”
This policy from Reform Ltd is good news for white, heterosexual men. Not so good for everyone else.

Yet more evidence as to why you must not trust the BBC.

Here’s an interesting suggestion on how to replace the House of Lords. It won’t happen, of course, but an independent Scotland might be able to establish a better form of Government scrutiny. https://www.thenational.scot/news/25850927.not-get-rid-house-lords-instead/?ref=rss
Ooft! Wee Ginger Dug pulling no punches in this analysis of Sarwar & Starmer. Well said.

People in the UK are more concerned about immigration than people in any other country. I wonder what could possibly have caused this? Looking at you, BBC.
