Saturday 28th Feb. There are 150 responses to the voter poll since it went live on Thursday. Clearly this is a very small sample size so far, but as time goes on, the survey will become more useful. I've done some number crunching and the key findings are here.

What. Utter. Sh*te. Look out England. You're in for the same extreme negative reporting by the establishment and their media pals that we've had in Scotland for decades. No straw is too low for them to grasp, nor barrel so deep to scrape.

Channel 4 News last night. Completely dominated by English politics and references to โthe countryโ etc etc.
A great symbol for Starmerโs โone nationโ delusion and the so-called โunionโ - where only England matters.
Outwith England we might as well be watching news from France Spain or Germany.

The UK can't be dragged into another protracted Middle Eastern war by a US President. Keir Starmer needs to rule out the use of UK bases for any future unilateral US strikes.

The Iranian regime is undemocratic, repressive and we need a diplomatic solution to ensure it does not become a nuclear power.
All nations must uphold the rules-based international system โ and the US and Israel must demonstrate how their actions align with that. (1/2)

BREAKING: I'm hearing reports that Israel has bombed a school full of children in Iran, killing 40 girls. I'm unclear if we're pretending there were tunnels below that school, but at least those girls were liberated, right?

Nigel Farage will happily send UK troops to die and spend your money to fund insane US and Israel wars.
But he won't fund healthcare or protect children.
A sick, sick man.
