The next BBC charter renewal should stipulate that the US may only be covered in the foreign news section | my latest for @TheCriticMag https://t.co/KSp89M3RlQ
Note to unionists who say they are against Brexit because they believe in European nations working together:
🏴🏴🏴🇮🇪 are European nations
🇬🇧 is a legacy imperial union
🇪🇺 is a modern confederal union
The UK union is no longer relevant.
The way Scottish unionists like @thecoastguy invoke the "strength of bonds made by shared language" says a lot about how their vision of Britishness disregards Wales.
Starmer is a typical British exceptionalist. How can we "lead" while setting an example we don't think others should follow?
If anything, it is the time for leadership from the US and EU.
The United Kingdom is at its best when the world knows we have the courage of our convictions and a clear moral purpose.
For the United States of America and for Britain, this is the time to return to the world stage. This is the time for us to lead. https://t.co/ZeB5fFtmuo
@GoodwinMJ The SNP hasn't become an abstentionist party and doesn't question the legitimacy of the current constitution. Respecting the result of a vote doesn't mean abandoning your convictions.
@TomTugendhat@BBCPolitics@BBCScotland Leader of the Scottish Conservatives isn't a constitutional role like Leader of the Opposition, and Douglas Ross isn't even an MSP.
@paul_lever@FHeisbourg The demand used to be for ‘Super Canada’ or ‘Canada +++’. It only got downgraded when they wanted to portray the EU as unreasonable.
@dhothersall @Keir_Starmer What Starmer means is that Labour created devolution thinking that Scotland could be run as a branch office of the Labour Party.
@DTAl1928 @fozzyuk99 @RHANews@michaelgove @RHARichardB It sounds like their ideal would be to go back to a pre-expansion EU, but Brexit won’t achieve this.
