Rachel Reeves needs to learn lessons from her handling of the winter fuel allowance abolition | Institute for Government The chancellor did not construct a solid narrative for axing the winter fuel allowance.

Rachel Reeves failed to have a convincing narrative about why she abolished Winter fuel allowance - @instituteforgovernment.org.uk last autumn. www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/comment/rach...

Now she has not come up with a convincing one on why she was right to restore it. Aaargh

By ‘opportunities’ they mean ‘build nuclear stations safely far away from SE England in a country which already produces a surplus of safe electricity.’ F*ck off.

YouTube video by Richard J Murphy The wealthy might say they hate the national debt, but they don't because we pay them for it.

The wealthy say they are terrified of the national debt, but they aren't really. It only exists because they don't pay enough tax, and they'd hate doing that even more.

I’m sure it is purely coincidental that amongst the 24 key powers stripped from Scotland by Westminster after Brexit is control of planning for the disposal of nuclear waste.

Working-class millennials have more in common with working-class boomers than they do with public schoolies, trust puppies and nepo babies of their own generation. Tell me I'm wrong.

Starmer and Miliband’s £22bn Net Zero carbon capture plan sending lots of zeroes into the bank accounts of UK’s luckiest businessmen, as they buy 12 acre plot that the Teesside part is being built on for £12.43 (plus VAT). Details in latest @privateeyenews.bsky.social

I'm waiting for the video of Robert Jenrick chasing tax dodgers - including his former cabinet colleagues - and asking them if they think it's right not pay. But it doesn't seem to have been posted yet.

‘Ferry cost stopped us booking a holiday to the Isle of Wight’ due to costs nearly FOUR TIMES times as much as a CalMac equivalent Professor John Robertson OBA, Honest Ferry Correspondent From MSN today: I’ve read that the number of visitors to the Isle of Wight staying in overnight accommodation during July, A…

So Jenrick does a PR stunt and the BBC lap it up and do a prime time hour long phone in giving him the publicity he was after. But then again it fits in perfectly with the BBC agenda under Robbie Gibb.

Labour’s Corporate Capitulation: How Starmer’s BlackRock Partnership Betrays the Post-Corbyn Vision The Labour Party under Keir Starmer has fully entrenched its partnership with BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, marking a stark betrayal of its post-Corbyn distrust of multinationals.

I've written a deep dive into Labour's partnership with US Blackrock; corporate land grabbing, freeports, AI Growth Zones, and US Vassalism. Please read, share, and, where possible, subscribe. I'm a volunteer uncovering the zonification of the UK.

The second and third largest parties in Holyrood are the Tories and Labour. Yet the BBC excuses them from it's election candidates debate in favour of Reform. Which has no MSPs.

Remarkable bias from the British national public broadcaster.

Poster asking if Scotland is a colony of England, with links to a video on the topic.

Either Scotland is an equal partner in the UK, in which case we should have the right to withdraw from that partnership at any time, or we are a colony of England, in which case UN law states we have the right to vote on it without interference. Which is it? You choose.

The problem with insisting that someone is strong enough to fight or defeat cancer is that it implies that others who aren’t strong enough are just not trying hard enough. Cancer doesn’t care if you have a strong will. And this attitude just makes things harder for the sick.

GB News, "If Net Zero is so blessed, why does the UK have the most expensive energy?"

Dr Rupert Read, "GB News won't tell you the truth because you're owned by Paul Marshall who is a fossil fuel magnet"

The most important thing a private healthcare system requires to succeed is unhealthy people. Without them Private Healthcare is bankrupt.

Forcing a deficit onto Country that cannae borrow. That's like transferring some of your mortgage over your next-door neighbour with no benefit to them.
That's exactly what Westminster does tae Scotland!

What I'd love to see: a synchronised schedule of democratic campaigns for Scottish independence, Welsh independence and Irish unification, with a vote held for each on the same day. UK corporate media would go spare, & crumbling UK state might collapse under the strain of fighting on three fronts.

SNP 1 alternative pro-indy party 2 is the way I'll be voting to keep the unionist list MSPs to a minimum.

"This lady has certainly got a good handle on #Farage and his dishonesty - and not just from the recent elections but going back all the way to 2016 and his lies over the extra £350 million for the NHS. She was nurse so knows that was a lie!
