When the world is literally on fire, with the UN pleading for a move away from fossil fuels, of course it’s not right. It’s only Right, which is bitterly disappointing from the SNP but hardly surprising. Pandering to populism, unable to do anything to take independence forward and without vision.

“Rarely has a British political party unveiled a programme that combines cruelty with impracticality on such an extravagant scale.” Chilling on Reform’s increasingly confident fascism. High on viciousness and greed. Very low on wisdom. A ruinous combination. www.independent.co.uk/voices/zia-y...
Photo of Yusuf at a lectern saying “shadow Home Secretary” (Wot?)

Reform's plan for a 'British ICE' combines cruelty with stupidityProject forward to 2036 under a majority Reform government and the picture darkens further. Britain would be smaller, older and whiter; more isolated from Europe; paradoxically, more vulnerable to foreign interterence and less able to fund its own defence.
The welfare state would shrink to a skeleton. Charity would fill the gaps.
Flags would proliferate; rights would not. The police and courts would be politicised. The BBC could disappear.
The NHS would survive only as a minimal safety net. Protections against discrimination would erode - you might indeed be sacked for being disabled.
Migrants and even their British-born children could find their rights curtailed unless they were deemed to
"contribute" sufficiently. Meanwhile, the wealthiest would enjoy a generous, low-tax regime.
