“I said Zia Yusuf gave a robust defence against the suggestion that Reform lied about promising to cut council tax. What did I say Roy?”
“You said the arrogant little gobshite just told even more lies”
We should be learning from other countries...
Scotland's election debate has seen more heat than light, though Anas Sarwar disavowal of his links to the Starmer government remains striking. With the UK government likely to look even weaker after May 7, a new pan-UK constitutional debate may beckon.

Friday, 3 April 2026 Bad vibes In my last post I briefly mentioned that the government, and Rachel Reeves in particular, have begun to speak increasingly openly about the damage Brexit is continuing to do to the British economy. This, I said, was striking because the higher the costs are admitted to be, the more they mandate a stronger response than that of the reset. The converse also applies, of course. Such admissions, if unaccompanied by any stronger response, serve to underline the inadequacy of the reset. This is the hook upon which the government’s approach to Brexit is currently caught, and what underlies it is the continuing failure of the British polity as a whole to be honest about Brexit and much else besides. That, and the reasons for it, have been amply illustrated over the last fortnight.
Chris Grey in absolutely blistering form this week
Much of it is dedicated to the dishonesty pervading UK politics which is a result of Brexit. Mostly Brexit is being usedfor political point scoring rather than discussing what type of society the UK should be

It's our patriotic duty to write articles in the Daily Mail in return for the £2.3million we have taken from peoole with links to fossil fuels and climate change denial.
What's not to like?
I’m reminded of Churchill:
‘We shall f*cking fight those bastards on the f*cking beaches, we shall fight on the f*cking landing f*cking grounds, we shall fight in the f*cking fields & in the f*cking streets,we shall fight in the f*cking hills; we shall never f*cking surrender.’
Meanwhile Prof Tim Snyder is also issuing warnings about the same.
Nothing undercuts the grand, sweeping majesty of a Reform UK campaign launch quite like Nigel Farage getting mercilessly heckled before he's even properly warmed up👇

“The right to trial by jury is an important factor in the delicate balance between the power of the state and the freedom of the individual. The further it’s restricted, the greater the imbalance”
Those were the words of Keir Starmer. Now he plans to restrict them

Dear people of the UK, when you go to vote on May 7th, just before you write the X in the box, count to 10 & think about what's happening in America. A quick recap below:
Sadly there will be those who will vote for this unwittingly down South,
But the Scottish should almost certainly reject this.
God help us all.
Well worth reading and and sharing @pacarnahan.bsky.social's thread about how #BrexitDisaster forced the closure of his family business (based in central Scotland). It would also be nice to buy his books which this admin can confirm make a great read.
You have to feel sorry for James Dyson. Imagine buying up 33,000 acres of farmland to avoid tax, only for Labour to then close the loophole. We need more patriots like him, who drive up farmland prices and vote for Brexit then fuck off to Singapore.
