Good morning 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. Scotland was torn away from the EU. We said remain but we were completely ignored. Turns out Scotland was correct. What else will the UK inflict on Scotland against our wishes? Our ruin at the British Establishment whim is a fact. Can we must at least try and stop it happening ?...

Outstandingly dishonest even by Nigel Farage's standards. Farage knows that the men arrested at Fairford would not have been released if they were still suspected to be terrorists. He's stirring up fear, hatred & resentment against both immigrants & the police. Pure malice.

NEW: Jean-Marie Delbos, 80, was sexually abused by a priest as a boy and had not been to Mass since. On Sunday, he went to Pope Leo XIV’s Mass at Lourdes. That evening, when the pope met him and other survivors, he was so moved that he made the sign of the cross for the first time in 60 years.

Liar. Small boat crossings peaked under Johnson in 2022 reaching 46,000 in 2022. In current year they are 18,565 and falling. Also prior to Boris Johnson's Brexit there were none.
It's a disaster, and it can all be traced to
Labour ideology. Burnham has no mandate
from the people. He has no real ideas, and
no plan,

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020 — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.
