Across these islands, the political landscape has changed. Scotland, Wales and the north of Ireland are led by First Ministers committed to independence from the UK. Scotland has the right to decide its future and no Westminster government can simply deny democracy.

Listening to Farage's Kerr in the EU debate in Parliament today, it's clear he has no interest in our Parliament or in working constructively on anything it does. Like all his right wing colleagues, he fails to understand the concept of representative democracy. His priority is purely to disrupt.

He has basically copied his new policies from Scotland and made them look like his own the mans just another fraud, instead of being honest and saying these are good policies in use in Scotland and we should adopt them in England, they can’t have Scotland looking more progressive than England.

So the ‘negotiation’ involves blowing smoke up Putin’s arse, asking him what he wants then attacking Ukraine for refusing to concede it. Never forget the huge swathe of UK media & political figures who celebrated Trump’s ascent while claiming to care about Ukraine. Absolute heels, the lot of them.

The UKGovt must publish the criteria for a Scottish referendum. One Englishman elected by local people in a Manchester CANNOT decide the future of Scotland. That isn’t democratic at all. Secret-behind-closed-doors decisions by the Labour Regime in total power on 34% isn’t empowerment or democracy.
