You could also disgrace yourself by running interference in the commons while your boss bullied the speaker into abandoning the rules so his party wouldn't be embarrassed by not calling out war crimes. You utterly repellent, snivelling, hypocritical, sub-average disposable henchman cunt, Chris.

The leader of a UK government that was elected on the votes of less than 1/3rd of voters is telling the 54% of Scots who support independence that he won’t ‘let’ us vote on our own future. UK ‘democracy’ is broken.

“If the people of Scotland return an SNP government, regardless if it’s a minority or majority, then that would be a mandate for a second referendum. It’s not up to the likes of me who live in England. This is the decision for the people of Scotland to make.” Starmer, STV, 2025. What a hypocrite.

Starmer rules out a Scottish independence referendum. Starmer rules out referendum on Irish reunification. Starmer rules out return to the EU, Single Market or Customs Union. Never asks what we want - just tells us what we're "allowed". Let's just call him Viceroy Starmer.

What's the point of a Scottish Labour leader if they're going to ditch decades of party policy the moment No 10 asks them to? There's a reason Welsh Labour - whose leader has all but condemned Starmer's speech - have lasted longer in power than Scottish Labour did.

The UK will never reform itself. Every few years, Scotland waits. For the next Westminster government. The next opportunity. The next promise. But nothing changes. Because we don’t decide our future — we wait to be told it. Time to stop waiting. Time to start building.

As Wes Streeting trumpets the role of the private sector in “saving the NHS”, it’s worth remembering what happened the only time a whole NHS hospital was handed to the private sector to run. The care failings - gaining the worst CQC rating ever - were *chilling* (& barely reported at the time):
Circle's medical services were found to be delivering "poor emotional and physical care which was not safe or caring... people were not treated with dignity and respect... some patients were afraid of certain nursing staff'".
Some of the examples witnessed by the
CQC in their two-day inspection were chilling
"We heard the staff member say to the patient 'don't misbehave, you know what happens when you misbehave'. We later asked the patient what they thought the staff member meant by this; the patient became withdrawn and was unable to
provide us with an answer."
"A patient on Apple Tree Ward, who required support during the night to go to the toilet told us that staff were 'often too busy'. They said 'they tell me to go in my bed and they will change me when they have time'."after they were seen in A&E, they then waited far too long - up to 12 hours - to be admitted to hospital. On this measure (so-called 'trolley waits') Hinchingbrooke had one in 5 patients waiting between 4 and 12 hours, compared to a national average of only one in 20 patients.
So much for key targets.
And whilst waiting in A&E, an unusually high number of patients (double the national average) left before being seen, fed up of waiting - and presumably unimpressed by the waiting-management computer system Circle had boasted was modelled on the Argos tills. (Circle's senior management team had been hired from Argos, Avon, Faberge, Tesco and fashion-website Asos, bragged Ali Parsa in an article entitled
"Government should not be running hospitals").Dangerously sloppy procedures were everywhere at privately-run
Hinchingbrooke, the inspectors found.
Incomplete patient notes, missing care plans, infected catheters, unwashed hands, broken clinical guidelines. Fluids were repeatedly out of reach of patients despite the inspectors' intervention. On other wards, call bells were placed out of reach. Diabetic patients were left without food. Patients missed vital medication rounds. Lifesaving resuscitation equipment was not checked regularly.
Many post-surgical patients were waiting over 30 minutes for a response to a call bell (Circle's own figures claimed the maximum wait was 8 minutes).
Many patients were being moved between wards in the middle of the night.
"One patient on the acute surgical and trauma ward said that they had been on seven wards in the first three days of admission, and had been moved at 12.45am, 3am and 5am on different days."The CQC was keen not to blame the permanent staff themselves - though it did note an over-reliance on bank and
agency staff (a problem Circle repeatedly promised to fix) who were involved in many of the most worrying failings. "All nursing staff told us the trust had difficulty recruiting and retaining staff... one nurse told inspectors "we can't keep staff".
The report reflects the recent staff survey which found morale amongst the lowest in the country.
Staff told the CQC that shortages also meant little time for training. For example, "Staff at ward level were not competent in caring for people at the end of their life, because they had not received the training required to enable them to undertake this role."
