Absolutely insane.
Labour would have purged and smeared someone like Zohran Mamdani.
Wes Streeting's politics align far more closely with Andrew Cuomo.
The lessons from Mamdani are about how to defeat both the right - and the bankrupt "centre".

And if independent countries like Ireland, Denmark and Finland can be wealthier and fairer than the UK, so can Scotland.

"The Israeli Premier League derby between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Hapoel Tel Aviv was cancelled by police after "violent riots" before kick-off."
There are MANY politicians who owe West Midlands police a profound apology.

By Oliver Kornetzke August 18, 2025
Behold. The festering carcass of American rot shoved into an ill-fitting suit: the sleaze of a conman, the cowardice of a draft dodger, the gluttony of a parasite, the racism of a Klansman, the sexism of a back-alley creep, the ignorance of a bar-stool
drunk, and the greed of a hedge-fund ghoul- all spray-painted orange and paraded like a prize hog at a county fair. Not a president. Not even a man. Just the diseased distillation of everything this country swears it isn't but has always been-arrogance dressed up as exceptionalism, stupidity passed off as common sense, cruelty sold as toughness, greed exalted as ambition, and corruption worshiped like gospel. It is America's shadow made flesh, a rotting pumpkin idol proving that when a nation kneels before money, power, and spite, it doesn't just lose its soul-it sh*ts out this bloated obscenity and calls it a leader.
I get the impression that Oliver doesn't like Trump

A great honour to attend the raising of the Palestinian flag at the soon-to-be Palestinian Embassy in London, with my friend Ambassador Husam Zomlot.

Anywhere that has rampant resource extraction, no independent broadcasting and most crucially, no democratic route to self determination in a supposedly βvoluntaryβ union seems pretty damn close to a colony to me.

Its worth noting that in Britain, Mamdani would have thrown out of the Labour Party by a small room full LinkIn weirdos and then replaced by a former private healthcare lobbyist who would go on to lose by 5,000 votes to a Reform candidate who was a convinced sex offender.

Extreme centrists dominate politics, demanding we maintain the status quo when we need change
No one talks about extreme centrists. They should, because they're the people who want to maintain the status quo when it's glaringly obvious that we need change.

Starmer says no independence referendum while he is prime minister
The prime minister insists it is more important to focus on the economy than the constitution.
Starmer confirming that Scotland is NOT an equal partner in the UK which has the right to vote on withdrawing from that partnership at any time we choose, but simply a colony of England.

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.

Is there much co-operation between the Scottish and Welsh independence movements? If not, I think there should be. I like the idea of independence votes for both countries happening on the same day. WM trying to counter simultaneous campaigns would also be much harder than one country at a time.

Iβm going to say something that shouldnβt be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period
