Getting so many followers from Palestine desperate for donations and my heart goes out to every one of them. I've donated to UNWRA & hope that all of these people can be helped. You can donate at

He'll be gone long before that. Powell as Deputy Leader is the first nail in his (& McSweeney's/Mandleson's) coffin.

He's always been a weak, hesitant Leader & as he falls, there'll be a left-wing pile-on, which, ironically, will come with great Momentum. A Socialist Mayor in NY will show the way.

If BBC were doing their job, Reform wouldn't be leading in UK polls. Reform's platform is based on a froth of racist piffle. Voters are BBC's paymasters & should complain that political coverage is not analysing, it's amplifying Reform. It's lazy journalism complying with the diktats of BBC's BoD.

The BBC is leading all its news bulletins on the escaped criminal asylum seeker. He needs catching and deporting.
Its prominence is because
-Embarrasses the government
-Requires zero analysis by Chris Mason
-Pleases the Reform loving management

The poorest 20% pay a higher proportion of income in taxes than the richest 20%.

It's disgusting that in a "Union" as rich as the UK that child poverty rates are so high. Kudos to the Scottish Government who continue to prioritise reducing child poverty here and also mitigating for Westminster's 2 child cap.
We could do so much better without the constraints of Westminster!

Should the British government publish the criteria they use to determine whether or not to call a border poll?

Sinn Fein 100%
SDLP 90%
Alliance 79% 😶
UUP 33%
TUV 19%
DUP 18%

Majority in NI support publishing border poll criteria – but unionists far less interested than nationalists

A majority of people in Northern Ireland think the Secretary of State should publish the criteria for calling a border poll, according to a poll.

Reform is just the latest incarnation of a century-old movement of British white supremacy. They've been called the British Union of Fascists, the National Front, the White Defence League and many other names in the past. But their hate-filled message of racism and bigotry is always the same.

We must make racism disgraceful again. This kind of shameless ugly inadequacy from Pochin should be career-ending, not career-enhancing. Honestly… the Little England nastiness is repulsive.

The people of Caerphilly obviously recognise the danger of a Farage led Government, maybe the media could start doing their job and challenge Farage on his tin pot dangerous policies and downright racism.

It's hard to believe that this is her main concern.

How mendacious of Reform to divert the genuine concerns of voters, facing a daily CoL struggle, into this dead-end of racism & envy.

Many people are on the breadline in UK & to feed them racialism will do nothing to make their lives better.

Connolly's younger volunteers and organisers are fantastic and deserve huge credit.

Smart, optimistic, strategic, disciplined, tapped into culture, positive message-bearers, excellent communicators.

It's so great to see people putting their energy into a movement that expresses hope. 🇮🇪

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.

Dounreay waste particle 'most radioactive' find for three years

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

Even with limited powers, we’ve made real progress in Scotland - the only part of the UK where child poverty is falling.

But Westminster’s failed Thatcherite policies are leaving too many Scots struggling.

Let’s build a fairer society with independence.

You can bet if the SNP do too well for WM's liking and end up with a decent majority next year the conversation on the BBC the day after will be the same - not on an SNP win. The BBC seriously don't like their favoured status quo being disturbed - it takes them into different, unfamiliar territory.
