Scotland & Ireland. Believer in the European Project. Fighting for English 🏴 Independence.🇮🇪 🏴 A DEI type😎. Wary of Conflict Resolution.
…FPtP is the single change that can stop Englands descent into further turmoil. But there is no serious debate. Burnham’s ‘10 yr plan’ is predicated on a majority in WM with a vote in the 30 something % range. So the turmoil will continue. #ScottishIndependence
The British Museum has form! No doubt the French have armed guards protecting the Bayeux Tapestry and a large military helicopter on the roof.😊.
All big guys at the top in Whitehouse are rotten corrupt. Prosecute the little guy✔️
Niall’s point is that Burnham /Whitehall are up to the old fruitless tactic of trying to bypass EU institutions. That has failed repeatedly before.
Belgium, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, and Sweden are in the EEA and NATO. its v obvious England wants access to EU ReArm Funds.
It’s my opinion that those Right Wing Parties will come together; that their current seemly ‘fragmented’ state broadens their base. That worked in 2019 and is the playbook for the players behind the various wings.
Most Polls in England are showing Tory/Reform /Restore with support of 40-45%; 43.5% in Makerfield. I’ve not a single doubt that they will do election pacts to game the abysmal FPtP system. There is an overlapping pool of funders and they want power. That block got 58% in Aberdeen, 37.3%Arbroath 🏴😬
The rest of the world thinks your ‘thing’ for joke candidates is insulting to democracy. Then again First Past the Post is insulting to democracy. No wonder there is a perpetual drama in England.
Burnham doesn’t have a vote in #Scotland. #ScottishIndependence will be determined by the people of Scotland. England never exited any country elegantly.
Fast-tracking English City Mayors into Westminster to anoint them PM was tried before…
Never EVER trust @uklabour.bsky.social on devolution. Their hatred for it is in their DNA. #ScottishIndependence
Andy Burnham will be Labours leader in England to address Labour’s problems in England. He wants to make Manchester a Home County. Scotland? That’s the Oil, Water and Green Electricity place innit?
Westminster is now only about winning the battle for England. English Nationalism is the driver of all debates there. Scotland & Northern Ireland don’t exit in Westminster.
Most English accept that London is unfair to the England outside the ‘Home’Counties’. What chance has ‘remote’ Scotland? #ScottishIndependence @snp.org
He has a whopping majority of MPs under FPtP. They all want to retain their seats. Once they believe they can win again they will stop talking about PR.
Speaker Poots & DFM Pengelly are on quicksand. Any DUP person who is outed as being well aware of Donaldson’s London ‘lifestyle’ hypocrisy is on quicksand. Stormont reshaping is on the cards.
Step #1 of bypassing & gutting Holyrood. England wants to continue robbing Scottish Resources.
Reset R E S E T řęßëþ Nah! Still doesn’t work Down Souf. You can only have so many!!
Lord Morrow has been chair of the DUP since 2010. He is in Westminster regularly. Should we believe he thought Donaldson was an upright leader? Should we believe Arlene didn’t have ‘Intelligence’ on Donaldson?
1st two pieces in #Scotland section of the Guardian. We are England’s play garden. Nothing else worthy of report. #ScottishIndepdence
