"Donald Trump’s second term has so far been a case study in how systems built for those whose rights have been diluted or taken away eventually devour those who were assumed to be safe from such violations."

I've highlighted this incase a number of Scottish Labour supporters need it underlined in crayon.
Scottish produced energy will be used mainly to benefit England.

Labour could raise an immediate £40 billion by simply imposing a 1 per cent wealth tax on the people worth in excess of £10 million
Scotland cannot be independent because BREXIT was such a mess.
This is one argument I have received for staying in the union.
A government not elected by Scotland messed up something Scotland voted against but was forced on us.
Is not a reason for us to do our own thing.
Can’t make this up.

Straightforwardly BNP-level rhetoric on "remigration" in the Telegraph (endorsed, as @rolandmcs.bsky.social points out, by Daniel Hannan).
“The world has changed” says Chancellor on #bbclaurak.
Yes it has - so why stick to outdated counterproductive austerity agenda & arbitrary fiscal rules? You can’t cut your way to growth. Taxes on extreme wealth of super rich would be fairer & more effective than more cuts @patmillsuk.bsky.social
Fair question.
Rachel Reeves is falling apart in front of our eyes, as she crashes and burns live on TV

Does this make me a terrorist?
So tax breaks for tech bosses and welfare cuts for the disabled
If you ever wondered how the KGB manipulated foreigners and got them to repeat Soviet propaganda, spend some time listening to Steve Witkoff talk about his wonderful conversations with Vladimir Putin.
Economic numpty Reeves still spouting the BS. If you are going to fix #BrokenBritain you need to invest in the country and avoid cuts. For example, Labour could create many thousands of jobs in a shift to a green economy. But instead we get the oligarch's AI BS.

My (highly) personal opinion. Too many UK firms run by accountants from public schools. Lack of investment in technology and training.
This. Is. Very. Good.
It doesn't matter if it is Rwanda, or Balkans, it doesn't matter if it is classed as offshoring or outsourcing and it doesn't matter if it is Tories or Labour doing it, shipping people who were seeking safety to a random third country is inhumane, and potentially illegal.

Xavier transitioned and became Vivian Jenna Wilson. She is alive and well and lives in Japan.
No loving parent would ever write such a disgusting thing as this, and it speaks volumes.
If benefits cuts are pushed through
there is no reason for any Minister, MP, member
to remain in a shell of a Labour party
totally lacking in empathy, care, justice, fairness
"Labour ministers could resign over benefits cuts as tensions grow"

Truer words were never spoken.
UK Tourist Returns Home from US in Chains Like ‘Hannibal Lecter’.

"Her attempts to attract attention come tinged with desperation, as when she made the Truss-ish declaration to one rightwing audience that the survival of “our country and all of western civilisation” depends on the revival of the Conservative party."
