Those urging sympathy for Rachel Reeves would do well to remember how the BBC treated Nicola Sturgeon when she shed tears at the Covid Inquiry By Liz S Rachel Reeves in tears in the debating chamber in the HOC. โ€œpersonal matterโ€ apparently. However why then was she in the chamber if the โ€œpersonal matterโ€ was so upsetting for her that she โ€ฆ

Never forget Labour's willingness to work hand in hand with the Tories in order to keep Scotland within this despotic colonisation of the Westminster parliament so that they can rip all of our resources for England's benefit.

A Facebook post from Stephen Flynn MP which reads:

"They told us weโ€™d never leave the EU.

They told us weโ€™d never have Boris Johnson as PM.

They told us Labour would deliver change.

They will tell us they can stop Nigel Farage holding power.

Britain is broken. 

Letโ€™s take control of our own destiny as an independent nation."

Whether I like Reform or not, is not the point. It would be a simple matter for them to register themselves as a political party. The fact that they don't do so leaves a grey area - are they, or are they not, subject to the laws regarding donations to political parties?

The question I'd like WM to answer is this; given that you accept that the UK is a 'union of equals', what is the legal route out of it, for a nation which wants to leave? WM has never answered that - instead of asking them, maybe its time we told them that 'we leave when Holyrood decides'.

I like that you wrote 'laughters fill' rather than the more obvious 'laughter fills' - just shifting that one letter 's' immediately conjures up the sound of many different people laughing - a tiny but lovely touch.

FUN FACT: Since 2019, Nigel Farage's Reform has taken more than ยฃ2.3 MILLION from oil and gas interests - making up an astonishing 92% of the party's donations.

Reform are NOT for ordinary people.

They're in the pockets of the big oil lobby.

I think Reform is just a mouthpiece for fascist
Big Money in general, and since it's a limited company and not actually a proper political party, I don't see how it's fair that they are allowed to field candidates for election at all.

Brian Eno 2h. On the Arrest of Young People at a Quaker Meeting House Last night, six young people were arrested by police during a peaceful gathering at a Quaker Meeting House. They had assembled to talk, reflect, and organise around two issues of overwhelming moral gravity: the climate emergency, and the continuing destruction in Gaza. That the police chose to forcibly enter a Quaker space-a site known throughout history for its deep commitment to peace and nonviolenceโ€”is both alarming and telling. These young people were not disrupting the peace. They were enacting it. We live in a time where the greatest threats to our future go unchallenged by those in power, while those who speak out are increasingly met with suspicion, hostility, and force. When the state begins to treat moral concern as criminal intent, we should all be paying close attention. The people arrested last night were not extremists. They were citizens who care-young people who see the interconnected crises of climate collapse and human suffering and refuse to turn away. They gathered not in violent defiance, but in peaceful conscience. I stand with them. I believe their voices are not only valid, but vital. If the institutions meant to protect us cannot bear to hear these voices, then it is not the protesters who are disrupting orderโ€”it is the silence of those who look away. - Brian Eno
