#Scotland's First Minister John #Swinney (#SNP) on his anti-far right summit- "If we are passive about this we run the risk that those #democratic systems will be eroded by the challenges that we face". It comes as polls suggest #ReformUK say might get their first #MSP next year (they claim they're not far right). Disgracefully, #Tory party say they won't attend

BBC NewsFM defends excluding Reform UK from anti-far right summitReform claims the meeting is really an "anti-democratic" attempt to curb its growing electoral support.

14 years of Tory cuts and austerity and now Labour are in power it is more of the same. It simply doesn't work. Cuts do not generate growth. If people have less money in their pockets, they spend less, businesses suffer, jobs are lost and the tax take decreases. This doesn't feel like rocket science so why does it feel so difficult for government?

Unfortunately populist politicians are calling the tune - be they Labour, Tory or Reform. Humanity, and even simple rationality is going by the way in a wish by many British politicians to be seen to be 'doing something'.

Just in case you were forgetting …. Never….ever……ever…….forget the tories are scum, bottom feeding scum who couldn’t give a fuck about you. They Have no morals or shame- they are the filth of the earth, whose only interest is lining their own and their chums pockets. If they never get in again it’ll be too soon. Everyone should swear Thatchers rotting corpse never to let these people back into power

Has anyone ever thought of an idea, where a number countries - prob ones that neighbour each other, all band together and use that, err what name would it be? - for now let’s call it a union. Use that union to create a strong trading bloc that could get better desks from the US and China. While at the same time trading with each other easily and without boarders and yet each country keeping its individual identity!!!!

Great news on the exposing the current British elite’s links to the slave trade.

A certain rightwing Brexiteer #Dorset ex #Tory MP who really does deserve to be better known for his family’s cruelty, exploitation and the fact their wealth was entirely built on #slavery, is the subject of a new book…’#Drax of Drax Hall’ by Paul Lashmar.

If raiding a private meeting in a Quaker Meeting House and arresting people for discussing politics is acceptable, I suggest the police now raid the Palace of Westminster, where plots and financial support for genocide and mass destruction are discussed constantly. At least half of the people gathering there deserve prison sentences.

Unless I misunderstood the phrases ‘leave means leave’, ‘Better off out’ etc. unless I misunderstood the point of Richard Tice when he founded the ‘leave means leave’ pro Brexit group ….. then not being part the EU & any of it’s institutions was what he wanted. Unless he’s full of shit of course

Labour Party new strategy to curb illegal immigration … Don’t come here, it’s a shit hole, especially Norwich.
Now I’m no expert, but if my job was to run a nation and care for its citizens, I’m not sure this sends the message that I’m on top of things.
