Perhaps Labour could explain this disparity? Apparently it only cooperates with the governments of other nations when ๐๐ง is running them.
Will be interesting to see what happens if Plaid Cymru takes control in May.
At a time when the nuclear weapons are endangering us all, Switzerlandโs continued refusal to join the #NuclearBan contradicts both parliamentary will and long-held commitment to neutrality and multilateralism. That's why on Dec. 23 Swiss civil society is taking action: www.icanw.org/swiss_initia...

Yes, in a world that often feels bleak, with new weapons being built, threats exchanged, and billions wasted on nukes; the majority is standing up for the #NuclearBan. ๐ช๐

NEW: The UK Government is in 'moral retreat,' Amnesty International has said, after Keir Starmer urged Europeโs leaders to rehash how a major human rights treaty is interpreted in law

There is one overriding political problem, from which all others follow. Until it is addressed, every policy advanced by governments is window dressing.

As politicians across all parties add to the clamour for greater investment in defence, whilst at the same time fall in line behind cuts to welfare spending, It is more important to organise & call for Join Stop the War Coalition & Scottish CND to organise efforts ahead of 10th May in Glasgow.

Scotland needs more carers, but Westminster is driving them away.
Labourโs hostile immigration plans and their tax on jobs are hammering Scotlandโs social care sector.
With the fresh start of independence, we can build a migration system suited to our needs and interests.
Yet another one with face in the trough. See National article on ยฃ20,000 fraud.

Does anyone actually know what Keir Starmer thinks about Brexit?
My view hasnโt changed: Brexit is a disaster, Scotland belongs in Europe, so letโs become independent and join the EU with our own seat at the table.
What a creep!
As is said in the article: "Glasgow has always been proud of its reputation as a welcoming city that supports immigrants. Yet, Farage and co seek to divide and conquer โ by picking on children."

I see some politicians from English parties are still espousing trickle down economics as a justification for maintaining high levels of inequality.
