Macron: “Brexit is the biggest lie of the last 30 years. “Those who said, "We will be richer" - eight points of GDP less ten years later. "”We will solve the problem of immigration" - it is more complicated than before. "”We are going to crush it in international trade" - it is worse.”

🚨 New polling has found that support for Scottish independence rises to almost 60% if Scottish voters become convinced that Northern Ireland is moving towards a united Ireland & Wales towards independence. 🔎 Constitutional change is inevitable: www.believeinscotland.org/celtic_exit_...

The more I think about it I can't help wondering if it was a set-up by the US & UK to test the vulnerability of the airfield given the airfield being used by US planes against Iran:: -Culprits all from London -Almost got off scot-free -No explosive devices - Friendly local farmer phoned the police.

Most of Burnham's promises were for policies to be introduced after the next GE, the national care service, reform of the voting system, closer ties with the EU, all put off until after the next GE - political code for ‘never’. It was a very traditional Labour speech, the jam is always tomorrow.

The leader of a UK government elected on 32% is telling a Scottish government elected on 36% that a 56% pro-Indy Scottish parliament can't hold a referendum that 68% of Scots want. UK democracy, ladies and gentlemen.

In Scotland, we provide free personal care for older people without punishing pensioners. Andy Burnham removing the triple lock would simply repeat the mistakes of Keir Starmer. The blame for the UK’s financial mess lies with successive Westminster governments, not pensioners.

Queue end of Labour - especially among older voters dependent on pensions & who don't have anything much in the way of savings. Might it be it become bye bye "bank of mum & dad" hello "bank of kids" when the younger generation looked after the oldies before state pensions? Can't see that happening.

What happens in drought conditions? What takes priority - humans or dara centers? Arguments have suggested sea water could be used to cool the latter if it's needed - but can you use salt water? Or are massive desalination units going to be needed? Where, and at what cost?
