If you are in England, Wales or N Ireland, and you don't want to vote for any right or extremist, who do you vote for that will win your seat?
Luckily, in Scotland I can vote SNP or Green, depending on who is most likely to win the seat.
When I lived in Wales, it was Labour under Wilson or Kinnock

It is possible to cherish the BBC as an institution while also saying that BBC News is failing very badly, day after day, in its duty to inform and that it always fails in a right-wing direction. It desperately needs to recover its integrity
My name now added - is yours? πŸ‘πŸ˜Š
Scotland is a nation - and nations have the right to decide their future.

Today I have launched and signed the Right to Decide declaration.

Let’s make Scotland’s voice heard loud and clear. Add your name here: yes.scot/decide

A man on the streets of the UK is asked about the β€œproblem of immigration” and dismantles talking points with ease.

Before, BBC journalists prided ourselves on people being unable to guess our private personal politics by programmes or content we made.

We grilled politicians equally and fairly. We spent hours assessing running orders for relevance and news value.

That has changed Democracy is the worse for it.

Every single person that voted FOR Brexit, whether left wing, right wing or just downright braindead, are responsible for the rise of Reform, their capture of the thick and stupid with help from corrupt media & it will be the utter demise of the UK & its economy.

Be careful for what you wish for!

This is an illustration of why I worked so hard as a front bench MP - on two separate occasions - to save @Channel4 from privatisation. As a journalist I know it will go places the highly political BBC fears. Q.E.D. β€˜Gaza: Doctors under Attack.’

If Westminster rule delivers terrible outcomes under the Tories, no discernible philosophy or change under Labour, and the prospect of Farage as Prime Minister, what exactly is the case for Scotland remaining part of the UK?
