My mother was English, my sister lives in England. I worked in England for 20 years so I have lots of relatives, friends and workmates and the majority of them can understand why Scotland wants independence especially with another Tory party now installed in Westminster

So we've got 74 deregulated SEZs and 12 Freeports set up by Sunak and Starmer immediately after Brexit, which is literally carving up the UK into corporate-governed feudal enclaves. Thread

Leaving the ECHR would allow the State Pension, the Minimum Wage, Sick Pay, Maternity Pay, Paid Holiday and working hour limits to all be abolished. They would make hundreds of billions from this. That is what they want.

The Conservatives wrote off £4.3bn in Covid Loans given to their mates businesses. But they chased a man who owed 2p and it cost them 100x as much to get it back. That is the blatant corruption and persecution we have in the UK.

Wow, Wyden catches the SSA nominee Frank Bisignano in a lie in his first question. He asked Bisignano if he was involved in discussions about DOGE? Bisignano said no. But Wyden has a statement from a senior official that Bisignano insisted "on personally approving DOGE hires at the agency."

His DAD is a chancer and a charlatan, denied a Knighthood, for 'Tax Reasons'. You're silly or gullible, if you think Anas Sarwar hasn't learned a lot from him. He's only Labour because it was easy to become Leader. He refers to his Dad as: "My Role Model". He's Conservative with a big C.
