Now look, if a man of Nigel Farage's integrity says there was no Russian involvement in Brexit then there can't have been Russian involvement! I mean, think about it, why would Nigel Farage lie about Russian involvement in Brexit?! www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

What's all the more infuriating is that Scotland, as a supposed equal component nation of the UK, is not given access to the evidence, the British government refusing to release the files. WTF!

I'm very glad that Andy Burnham has been open about Russian interference in the Brexit referendum. Farage's reaction tells us Burnham has hit the nail on the head.

From someone who knew that fascism was coming to the UK since 2013... the point of independence is that we, in Scotland, can at least save ourselves. We can vote out the SNP - and I do predict they'd crumble quickly after independence - but we have no power to change what the UK inflicts upon us.

Sniggered out loud at this. What a warmer. Although it is a bit of a worry that politicians would perhaps rather see Scotland deprived of its benefits rather than strive to raise up those in the south to match. They'd see us all in penury rather than make things better for everyone.

“Tariffs are a favoured diplomatic tool of President Trump and Reform could face significant legal challenges if it follows suit” (page2) Farage is a desperate, vindictive bullshitter who only appeals to racists with no idea how the world and trade and law actually work. Cos that’s a bit hard.
Farage's tariff plan on migrants

Reform UK would impose tariffs on countries that refuse to accept the return of migrants, under plans expected to be announced this week.

Nigel Farage will outline new policies, including levies on goods and services, that would force countries to agree to deportations.

The party also proposes banning their airlines from British airspace.

The escalation of Reform’s hardline deportations policy comes as the Conservatives embrace a new political strategy designed to recapture voters with a focus on the economy.

Some 20,900 people have crossed the Channel in small boats this year, down about 40 per cent on the same period in 2025, according to official figures. Since 2018, more than 211,000 have made the crossing, of whom about 9,700 had been returned by June.

Reform intends to impose visa bans for people who legally want to visit the UK from Pakistan, Afghanistan, Syria, Eritrea, Sudan and Somalia until the countries agree to take back illegal migrants and foreign criminals, under plans announced in February. The list includes several of the countries with the largest numbers of asylum seekers in the UK in recent years.

So Badenoch vows to fight the SNP "for our union". What does she mean by "our"? Well, the Tories haven't been voted in by Scotland for over 70 years and the people do not have a majority wanting to remove powers from Holyrood. So "our" union means "England's" union. It's a colonialist point of view.
