If Reform can go from nought to sixty in 5 seconds (in terms of support & prominence) why can’t the millions of left-leaning people do exactly the same for @greenparty.org.uk ?
It’s not beyond the realms of possibility.
The old two-party monopoly is dead.
Be part of the change. βœŠπŸ’š

One of the most blatant lies I can remember from BBC Scotland (and that's saying something.) Basically a copy/paste of a Scottish Tory press release. The actual figure involved was Β£23,000 over 3 years. The BBC has added wages that would be paid whether the staff involved were in Turkey or not.

The top benefit claimants in the UK.

1. The Royal Family Β£500m a year.
2. Billionaires Β£320m a year EACH.
3. MPs many claiming more than Β£50,000 a year in PERSONAL benefits.

Yeah lets crackdown on these ridiculous benefits multimillionaires/billionaires

Fox News just congratulated George Santos on getting out of prison after his commutation. He was convicted of ruining the lives of disabled veterans by stealing their charity money. That's what they're celebrating. πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈEvery veteran should hear this. $373,00 in restitution was also canceled

If you're a bit silly, you probably don't realise, the UK Government uses Scotland, to dump and hide dodgy stuff.

Decrepit old Nuclear Power Stations and Weapons, Old and Rotting Nuclear Subs, from the 1970s.

Scotland has NO SAY, over ANYTHING.

Only a fool doesn't want Independent Scotland.

The fragment has been categorised as "significant" and was found during monitoring work around the nuclear power plant, near Thurso.

Reform get absolutely annihilated in Caerphilly but the Media make it a story about Labour.

Are they trying to cover up the embarrassment of Farage being absolutely certain his party would win?

I received a letter from a company "allegedly" afilliated with NHS Scotland. They said i had been picked randomly & they wanted to keep me safe from future diseases by testing my blood & monitoring my health in perpetuity. They offered a Β£10 voucher for taking part. Am I right to be suspicious? πŸ€”

Thoughts post-Caerphilly:
* Reform over-hyped by rightwing press
* Nationalists now lead in all home nations
* Labour doomed unless Starmer dumped
* But Labour more likely to go Make England Great Again
* huge boost for Scots&Welsh Indy & Irish unity
More here: www.heraldscotland.com/politics/vie...
Labour’s choice: Tack left and dump Starmer or go full β€˜Make England Great Again’
The Caerphilly by-election signals imminent destruction for Labour, but rather than take the necessary action, the party will just head further…

Terrible result for Reform in Caerphilly. Trounced by 4,000 votes. Working class Wales kicked Reform all the way from the Rhymny Valley to the sea. Reform threw Farage, Tice and all its top people at Caerphilly and spent a ton of money and were hammered.

I lost the whole validity of Scotland being in the UK, after being ignored for:

* Brexit

and

* The Deposit Return Scheme.

There's absolutely no point in Scotland being part of Great Britain, any more.

Independent Scotland WILL be one of the Richest Countries in Europe.

Face facts.
So 🏴󠁧󠁒󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿, if we were already independent would we

Posts like this from folk in England make me wonder why its taken Labour losing to Plaid in Wales for them to notice "fissuring in British politics". Scotland has been increasingly "fissuring" for decades, without comment.

Are we just more remote?
Maybe they are trying to avoid talking about the @plaidcymru.bsky.social result. If Deform had won im sure they would have been filling folks heads with wall to wall Farage! Obviously they backed the wrong horse and have nothing to fill the void of their disappointment!! 🀭

The by-election result from Caerffili/Caerphilly tells us some important things

1. Reform can be beaten with a progressive alternative.
2. Labour is lost if it doesn't abandon Starmer's move to the right and return to the left.
3. The Tories are dead and beyond repair.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 81st day out of the last 93.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Another rich cnut telling us to protect their profits while folk are struggling to pay bills and feed themselves. This capitalism "game" is reaching its end of days! They keep money out of the economy so #taxtherich or let them all leave. The UK will still be better off.
