Psst..
The request for a section 30 was NOT just from the SNP..
It was from the Scottish Government who had voted on the issue.
Democracy is the theme in Scotland.
Dictatorship is the theme in Westminster.
The World is watching you.
On these islands, the break up of the UK will be the defining political event of the next generation
It's now inevitable and will severely limit - maybe end - London's reign of imperial terror, which has lasted more than 400 years
All progressives should be 100% behind it
Wes Streeting just called Plaid Cymru and the SNP an existential threat to the country! Let’s brush under the carpet shall we the rise of the far right, the fact that Westminster has shafted us for far too long! And Labour?
Independence pending ✊🏼🏴🏴
Today the UK politically underwent a political earthquake. For the first time in the history of the so called union, there are nationalist administrations in Scotland, Wales & the six counties in Ireland. Coupled with the rise of fascist Deform in England, today the UK ended.
I have contacted SNP leader John Swinney and Plaid Cymru leader Rhun ap Iorwerth to congratulate them on their enormous mandates.
For the first time ever, there could be three pro-independence First Ministers across these islands.
More and more people are looking towards a future beyond the constraints of the Union.
I look forward to continuing to build the friendship between the people of our nations, and to working closely with both John and Rhun in the time ahead.
I'm Jewish.
I condemn genocide.
I condemn the Labour Governments role in the Genocide.
The Prime Minister repeatedly conflating criticism of the Israeli Governments genocide and actual antisemitism is disgusting - and makes so many of us as Jewish people feel less safe.
The British press could stop Nigel Farage leading in the polls so fast.
If they just treated him like Jeremy Corbyn and Zack Polanski for a couple of weeks.
Why don't they.
I have referred Sky News and GMB to Ofcom over disgraceful and baseless smears that have been made about me.
There is nothing antisemitic about supporting the people of Palestine.
I will continue to speak out against racism, apartheid and genocide.

To make the jump from a mentally ill man attacking 3 people, two Jews and a Muslim, to saying peaceful Pro-Palestinian marches must be banned as a consequence, is totally irrational, bizarre and downright Orwellian.
This lunacy from our politicians must be challenged.
In the last week @ZackPolanski has been 'scrutinised' by fair & impartial journalists including an ex-Labour minister married to a current Labour minister (ITV) and a guy whose Best Man was Peter Mandelson (Sky).
It really is a cosy wee club & they loathe being called out for it
Absolutely fucking insane that they are just pretending the third Muslim victim doesn’t exist. They are clearly terrified of their complete failure to control the narrative and the shit they are willing to do to regain control just mindblowing.
@NatashaC@lewis_goodall@LBC Scotland is a country. Whether Indy or unionist, we must have a right to self determination. I am glad steps have been made to get the UN involved because Westminster have and will continue to ignore and block the wishes of democratically elected Indy majorities in Holyrood.
The noteworthy thing about Wes Streeting's dismissal of Scottish democracy isn't that he said it, it's been said before by BritNats, but the Scottish media's indifferent response.
These neo-colonial put downs should be debated. They should be analysed. They should be the subject of documentaries and the focus of news headlines. They should be condemned.
Instead they're just parroted as though a legitimate position for a Westminster Govt in a so-called voluntary Union. Interviewers taunt the SNP with "What ya going to do about it eh?"
Scots are being told their political views are limited to what English MPs limit them to. It's arguably the biggest democratic outrage in the UK since women were denied the vote.
Hi @UN today a Labour @GOVUK Minister launched an attack on the people of Scotland's right to choose their own future: https://t.co/sGsDi4Ll8c As a Scot whose democracy is now being denied, I would ask your Special Committee on De-colonisation (C24) to investigate immediately.
When Alex Salmond said the 2014 independence referendum was a "Once in a generation opportunity" it wasn't a promise it was a warning. An Englishman in England telling Scots who want their own country they have no right to even put the question to the test. Welcome to the colony.
