'Scottish' Labour touting for votes. Sarwar is a mere branch-manager. When his London boss says 'no' he just says 'ok Sir'. A vote for 'Scottish' Labour is a vote for WM House Jocks employed to dupe Scotland on behalf of Starmer. Don't believe anything they say in 2026. #LyingRedTories

I’ve criticised Reform UK extensively. I hold all politicians to account about their actions concerning the NHS. Check your facts before you attack campaigners. Here’s a piece I wrote and made freely available ahead of the General Election, for example: open.substack.com/pub/jujuliag...

This Labour government is attacking Reform for talking about changing the NHS to a different healthcare system. Just to be clear, Labour is also changing the NHS model- turning the NHS into an enormous cash cow for private companies, mining our public asset to make shareholders richer.

Scottish independence isn’t anti-English, it’s pro-democracy. I believe all four nations deserve to shape their own futures as equals, not as colonies. That includes Scotland’s independence and Ireland’s reunification. Neighbours. Not subjects of the union.

Thames Water has been given their £3bn loan by the Court of Appeal. In 6 months they will back begging for another one, £2.1bn has gone straight to paying their debts and they are losing nearly £200m a month. The UK's court system is corrupt, bought and paid for by the rich.

One rule for the rich, another for the poor and disabled. It genuinely surprises me sometimes that the British population hasn’t launched an insurrection. (The only more amazing thing is that Scotland hasn’t)

Welcome to autocracy. The Republic we have known for the last 240 years is gone. This is going to keep getting worse. Much worse. The courts mean nothing, the law means nothing, Congress is irrelevant. He is a malignant psychopath.

Openly ignoring and defying the Judiciary. Breaking his oath to preserve and protect the Constitution of the United States. Granting himself unchecked power. This is authoritarianism.

Trump has REPEATEDLY stated that Canadians would be better off joining us. I say Trump is full of shit. Has anyone else noticed Trump lies and is full of shit? Trump is more full of shit than a backed-up constipated elephant's bowel. Trump is more full of shit than a backed-up portable toilet.

His track record speaks for itself. While we continue to resist, we should take comfort in that he is deeply incompetent, not very bright & his policies are hurting even his most devoted supporters. Let's not get in the way of his inevitable self-destruction.
