Two days after the 2014 Indyref Gordon Brown claimed papers were being drawn up that would give Scotland "Home Rule". It was a lie. It will be a lie when Andy Burnham promises 'Home Rule'.

They've taken back powers since 2014 through Brexit and the UK Internal Market Act.

Brazil created nothing in that first quarter, just accepted two generous gifts from Scotland. For the LOVE OF FUCKING GOD, stop pissing around at the back. Lump it up the pitch and fight for it in Brazil’s half, not in front of our own goal.

He says “up the RA” for £86

…imagine what he’d do for £5m.

For those who doubt it, this is the timeline of corruption:

Late May 2024: Christopher Harborne secretly transfers £5 million to Nigel Farage.

3 June 2024: Days after the transfer, Farage announces he will stand for Parliament.

4 July 2024: Farage is elected MP for Clacton.

29 May 2025: Farage announces that Reform UK will become the first British political party to accept donations in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

29 May 2025: Speaking at the Bitcoin Conference in Las Vegas, Farage unveils plans for a Crypto Assets and Digital Finance Bill, including reducing capital gains tax on crypto assets from 24% to 10%, creating a Bitcoin reserve at the Bank of England, and preventing banks from debanking crypto users.

September 2025: Farage publicly namechecks Tether and Bitfinex, companies in which Christopher Harborne is a major shareholder, and says he is going to the Bank of England to argue against restrictions on crypto and against the proposed digital pound.

13 October 2025: At the Digital Asset Summit in London, Farage says he wants to “bring crypto in from the cold” and immediately halt work on a UK central bank digital currency (“Britcoin”).

25 October 2025: At the Zebu Live crypto conference in London, Farage positions himself as a political champion of the crypto industry and repeats calls for lower crypto taxation and wider adoption.

3 November 2025: In a speech in the City of London, Farage again calls for crypto deregulation and for the UK to become a global crypto hub.

If it could be proven that the £5 million secret payment influenced Farage’s actions as a sitting MP, that raises extremely serious questions. Potential issues could include parliamentary standards breaches, tax issues, bribery or corruption offences. Under the Bribery Act 2010, the most serious bribery offences carry a maximum sentence of 10 years’ imprisonment.

This is not a normal statement from a normal cabinet member of a major nation. 

This statement from Israeli National Security Minister Ben-Gvir is the statement of a war criminal. 

The racist, extremist Israeli government does not deserve one nickel of U.S. support.

Farage: I can spend my £5m on Ferraris if I want it's none of your business.

Reform voters: He's one of us.

Starmer’s election victory was never an endorsement of him or Labour - it was purely a rejection of 14 years of Tory failure. Just two years later, he resigns as one of the most unpopular PMs in British history. Squandering a massive majority in record time. A historic collapse.

🚨 French authorities have confirmed Israeli interference in May's Scottish elections.

Will @YvetteCooperMP follow France's lead and summon the Israeli ambassador? Or will she continue Labour's tradition of letting them away with absolutely anything?

[Ross Greer @Ross_Greer]

Now that Israeli interference in the Scottish election has been confirmed (by the French intelligence services) I wonder if everyone blaming this solely on Russia and Iranian bots will care to update their posts?

Someone wanna tell @itvfootball that Scotland won our Qualifying group- and we didnt Qualify because the tournament has been expanded - so f##### disrespectful and condescending

[MSM Monitor @msm_monitor]

Nobody seems to care that Anas Sarwar called for his own leader to resign at the start of an election campaign and then led Labour to its worst Holyrood election result in history. Watching STV and BBC Scotland it's as though it never happened and there isn't a HUGE civil currently being waged between Starmer, Streeting and Burnham.

Are Labour MSPs happy with Sarwar? If so, who do they want to replace Starmer? Burnham or Streeting? Someone else?

A peculiar lack of interest in a party that's tearing itself apart.

Listen as Ross Greer blasts the BBC live on air over the broadcaster’s framing of racist disorder and violence in Belfast and across Scotland last night

The BBC described those who were masked and taking part as 'anti-immigration campaigners'

[Ross Greer @Ross_Greer]

Anas Sarwar to the SNP this afternoon: If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear

Every Labour MSP then voted against the Green proposal for a review covering the finances of ALL political parties (it passed anyway).

Do Team🥀 have something to hide/fear?
