Pigs in the trough.

TBF it's not even Reforms fault. The UK was toast as soon as centrist Liberals focussed on defeating "the left" rather than defeating fascism

This REALLY makes me angry! Finding from outside my country (Scotland) or in the case of the UK, outside the UK is fundamentally WRONG!

Should have said 'FUNDING'!

The right-wing who now control the Labour Party had years to come up with a transformational programme for govt. They came up with nothing other than more of the same. Starmer is as much a vacuous liar as Johnson was. Two parties serving corporate interests. No wonder fascism is on the rise.

(YouGov, 2-3 February; usual caveats apply to sub-samples)

Ach, Ah winny wurry too much aboot Fartage.

He's just a fart in a puddle masquerading as Hot Tub.

I find this a more shocking refusal by Starmer.

He's leaving the door open for Musk to pour millions into Reform.
Starmer couldn't be any weaker if he tried.
Get us out of this shitshow now.

This was so predictable: a dud Labour government, allowing Reform/Tories to benefit. Scotland: there's only one way out of this downward cycle...independence!
