You may not like it, but this is what actually existing Anglo-Gaullism looks like 👇
Man I'm so old I can remember when Nick Clegg thought that a political project that would take 10 years to come to fruition just wasn't worth the energy
BREAKING: John Swinney has confirmed he plans to request another independence referendum from Westminster
The First Minister said he still plans to hold a vote on a Section 30 order, though the SNP did not achieve a majority
@The_Clermontian The powers of the Scottish Parliament are limited which weighs on turnout, they are also particularly limited in those areas where Reform are strongest (e.g immigration, energy and the economy) - tied for or outright 2nd is a tremendous result first time out
@The_Clermontian I wouldn’t be too disappointed. I suspect that a lot of people who would vote for Reform in a UK general election in Scotland did not turn out yesterday.
As the Tories are demolished in their heartlands, it’s obvious the ‘Kemi bounce’ was a fiction peddled by the Tory client press.
You can spot these people easily now - they’re the ones wailing desperately for a “pact” to “unite the right”.
If you see anyone doing that, they’re either on the Tory payroll (many of them) or part of the same club.
Laugh at or ignore them.
NO DEALS EVER!
@FraserNelson How can an "undocumented" migrant work when they won't have a national insurance number? Oh wait they are "working" in the black economy (they are therefore criminals ipso facto) and aren't paying a shiny sixpence in tax.
This is my hearing bundle from the Al Sweady inquiry. It brought an end to my military career after 17 years of exemplary service. The stress, pain, and heartache were overwhelming—driven in large part by Shiner & Hermer.

Accept the terms they’ve set and just have the UB barge fire doors down while assaulting security and let them vandalise the stadium in anyway they wish.
That’s how it goes right?
Excl: Tempers Daily has obtained internal Green Party projections estimating that migration could reach 5 MILLION a year under their policies, with a central estimate of 2.4 million annually. This is three times higher than projections reported in The Telegraph earlier this week.
The Immigration Lawyer money making scheme is out of control.
For once, the BBC has done some good work and exposed lawyers coaching illegal migrants to fraudulently claim asylum in the UK.
Reform UK will:
1) Make facilitating a false asylum claim a ‘strict liability’ criminal offence. There will be no requirement to prove intent in prosecutions, and this serious crime will be punishable by up to 2 years in jail.
2) Immediately abolish legal aid for asylum applications from those who enter the UK illegally or enter on a visa and overstay.
My party will control our borders, deport all illegal migrants and ensure British taxpayers are not defrauded.

Jobs held by non-EU nationals are up 238,100 in a single year, whilst jobs held by UK nationals are down 335,200 and jobs held by EU nationals are down 74,200.
This is probably a huge underestimate. It reminds me of when the Tories tried to model what would happen if free movement was extended to the entire world in a future Corbyn govt and came up with a number - scoffed at by fact checkers at the time - that they ended up beating.
