At last, the positive case* for the Union is discovered.

You couldn't make this shit up while they freeze the old poor vulnerable unemployed disabled low paid to death they claim all their energy bills from the public purse. That's our money LET THAT SINK IN WE PAY THEIR ENERGY BILLS 🤬🤬
Straight from the Trump playbook.
BREAKING: Reuters is reporting from two Syrian sources that there is a very high probability that ASSAD HAS BEEN KILLED in a plane crash.

Aye I'm not a fan of Tesla..everything on a touchscreen is asking for trouble...if that fails so does everything else.

Starmer's disregard for clarity with the public belies his deep interest in corporate policies tailored for the asset classes.
He is utterly duplicitous.
Totally agree. If they won’t play by the rules they set down themselves then why should we?
42 years..
They have always been looking over our shoulders. Now they are interfering, soon they will takeover or just bypass our parliament.

Ah but is it the car or is it the kind of people that drive the car?
For example, Audi make good cars, but when they are driven by idiots they become speeding, non indicating menaces..
Starmer's Faustian pact with Blackrock means he has sold the UK's future to the absolute worst criminally corrupt corporate organization on the planet, not one news outlet is covering this with the urgent attention it requires.
🇮🇪 On the 6th December 1921, Ireland declared its independence.

Dear Keir Starmer,
Quick question - these 150 national infrastructure projects you mentioned this morning. Will they be a copy of the PFI projects, involving private companies and saddling the public with billions in debt?🚨
I wish I had a silver bullet... I can think of a use for it..
When you hear 'Our Country' being mentioned, at the Houses of Parliament, in London, they're usually always talking about 'England'.
You understand this? Do Scottish people 'get' this?
When you spent billions and destroyed your brand to recreate 1930's Germany and got 1780's France instead.
The Royal Family is such a joke that the only person who has served on the frontlines wasn’t allowed to wear uniform, but all the people who didn’t were.
Labour haven't confirmed that they have no plans to Frack in Scotland. This would pollute Scottish water, ruining the £7.1bn Scottish whisky industry.

Screenshot of a tweet by Oliver Darcy stating that after the LA Times published a piece about Elon Musk, a new rule was implemented. Headlines for opinion stories must now be emailed to owner Patrick Soon-Shiong for review before publication.
This is what oligarchy is folks.
Absolutely - but SNP need to be persuaded of this in the face of their determination to be the only party that can lead.

How do we get out of this union NOW rather than just wait until it's too feckin late? Can't we all write to the UN and EU to beg to be rescued! 😫
Top three right wing parties all vying for dominance in the coming decades is surely reason enough to make sure we never let any of them near government in Scotland. Let’s decouple and get on with our sovereign right to rule our country under a progressive social contract between state and people.
I assume it's doing the same in Northern Ireland and Wales?
