We must cut MPs expenses.
We shouldn't be paying the housing costs on a millionaire's 2nd home.
MPs should live and work in their own constituency save for when they have to go to Westminster to participate in a debate or vote.
For Africa, climate change is not about the future. It's about now. Our crops failing, our lakes shrinking, our people displaced — while boardrooms thousands of miles away count record profits. We don't have a climate problem. We have a justice problem. #ClimateJustice
Worth approximately 86 pence per week for the 6 months of the VAT reduction so just £22.50 in total.
Meanwhile, the electricity cost cap has increased by £60.00.
Elsewhere, UKGov is taking in billions in fuel duty and VAT on petrol and diesel costs that are now out of control.
@shoefaced There was no referendum in 2014. There was a nation-wide opinion poll in Scotland. It was conducted under an orgy of British state-organised bias and included hundreds of thousands of people whose opinion had no bearing whatsoever on the wishes of Scots for their own future.
The diesel crisis originates in the region Israel and USA created the perfect storm in to deflect from a genocide, Israel's expansion outside of Palestine and Epstein client politicians.
Electricity prices - Russian gas removed from Europe.
All Reserved matters affecting Scots.
When you get to my age in life you've been through it all...you don't believe what the Media are telling you, you have seen propaganda in every form, you are a bit smarter than your younger self, you question everything. Don't for one minute believe what they tell you.
UK financial sector wouldn't back Scottish rocket builder Orbex but Portuguese company will and buys its assets inc its intellectual property.
Why the hell is Scotland still in the UK?

“When they proscribed as “terrorist” a civil disobedience group and police started arresting little old ladies as terrorists for protesting about it, I thought this too was a temporary madness which would pass. I witnessed outside the Royal Courts of Justice the police lifting up elderly people in wheelchairs to arrest them for holding a sign, and I thought ultimately the system will repudiate this madness.
It has not repudiated the madness. It turns out that policemen are happy to arrest octogenarian priests for expressing the wrong thoughts, and judges are prepared to impose vicious “terrorist connection” prison terms for property damage by persons seeking to hinder a genocide. The English Court of Appeal stated coldly:
The vast majority of those arrested had chosen to hold signs which read, “I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action”. We attach little weight to this when it comes to assessing the extent of the interference with Convention rights in this case. All those holding such signs either did or ought to have realised that what they were doing was showing support for Palestine Action. ..
We are now faced with a Ministry of Truth in the UK to enforce state propaganda narratives – like the ridiculous Skripal story, the ambulances false flag or the Fairford farrago. The one thing we know for certain about “RAF” – truly USAF – Fairford is that hundreds of tonnes of high explosive have been dropped from Fairford on Iran. The notion of “defensive bombing” – parroted by the entire media – is an Orwellian symptom of what we have become.
There is no escaping the fact that large numbers of people are very susceptible to the propaganda. ..
W social democracy is dying.
The democracy bit offers no meaningful choice at election in terms of wealth distribution or the structure of capitalist society. It offers no significant variation on the increasingly authoritarian nature of the state. It certainly offers no choice in foreign or defence policy. ..
I feel that the rather pleasant world I grew up in has been replaced by something much nastier and more raw. Literally dozens of my friends have been arrested these last three years, simply for what they say and think.”
Good summary of “free speech” & “Democracy” in the UK. Americans shd take note just like during covid these overreaches are studied & duplicated across the West. Remember the Canadians debanked for daring to question Covid restrictions. The blob eating away rights & freedom is global & those “defending” it often fake & bought like Charlie Kirks old co & legacy, couped from within & no stories by @RealCandaceO likely to move that dial. What is being done to Palestine protester in UK will be cloned & already test run in US & across the Anglosphere.
The tepid recognition of the genocide has not meant anything for those suffering there or in Lebanon & all Trump or US offered so far is a slower erasure & having their lands & villages stolen & given to others, marauders & then to be annexed, Christian & Moslem homes & villages.
As far as the REM sleep he mentions afflicting too many, the only lines that strike the most chords in me on things like this..
“Oh no, I’ve said too much
I haven’t said enough”
But try still to do a little more, one post at a time.
For decades I was one of a small bunch of often reviled people pointing out western false flags.
Now with Fairford and FlyDubai everyone sees it and I feel redundant!
When the Fairford plot fell apart before it had got going, I honestly thought that was the end of it. The whole thing was so stupid that the internet saw through our lies and we just gave up trying.
I mean our story was that “Middle-Eastern-looking boys” circled around a military base on high alert while the MoD ignored calls from the public, then blocked off a road with their vans until a plucky farmer chased them into the woods where they politely waited for 40 minutes for the police to arrive.
When social media users took the piss out of our script, the false flag was officially called off. The police released the lads on bail and said they were a bunch of British nationals with no explosives. Obviously, there was no way they would’ve been let out if there was the slightest indication of terrorism. Therefore, we couldn’t possibly change our minds again, or so I thought.
It turns out I was wrong. Andy Burnham is now saying there was evidence of Iranian involvement after all—just not enough to detain the lads for the legally allowed 14 days.
If you’re confused about how we got to this point, let me explain. My sources tell me that after Trump and Rubio expressed concerns about the lads being released, they got on the phone and said: “Andy, you’re ruining our psy-op. We need to pretend they are terrorists so we can continue using Fairford to escalate against Iran.”
I’ve got no idea how we convince anyone now. All I know is that Burnham apologised for fucking things up and politely asked Mossad if he can have its assets back. The whole thing is a huge, uncoordinated mess.
To make matters worse, the Israelis are currently dealing with their latest botched false flag, involving a pretend hijacking of an airliner.
Poor Netanyahu has an electorate to manipulate and he needs that escalation against Iran before polling day. He angrily told Trump and Burnham to get their story straight if they don’t want to face an “exploding smart phone incident”. Andy gulped and threw his iPhone in the bin.
To clarify, the official position is now that we think the lads are Iranian terrorists who tried to blow up a military base with no explosives, and they are free to try it again…. Hold on, I’m getting an update on WhatsApp…
We’re now saying it was actually a “dry run”. The reason the lads drove around in circles and made themselves super-conspicuous was “preparation”. They had to get close to the base because it’s not like they could launch drones from tens of miles away. Just know that if they do launch drones, our media helpfully flew over the base and showed the locations of all the stealth bombers.
If our latest story was remotely true it would be hugely concerning, but luckily no one’s worried because they all know this is a load of bollocks. I honestly don’t know who we’re tying to kid here.
Guru Murphy: Are you considering rejoining the European Union?
Lisa Nandy: Yes of course. The question of Europe was never settled forever, we are now 10 years on and those promises weren't delivered.
Not you Scotland you are stuck for as long as we decide what a Generation is.
They’ve been dumping shit in the rivers for six years and the punishment is a fine smaller than the CEO’s annual bonus. We get the sewage and the price rises, they get the dividends. It fucking stinks, in more ways than one.
Peter Thiel is an absolute cancer on the world.
Our governments are buying into not only his far-right ideological bullshit, but also the software his company Palantir makes to commit genocide, destroy critical infrastructure, and spy on every aspect of our lives. Thiel is all over the Epstein Files, he talks about how being evil is actually good, because it’s ‘competent’.
We are truly in the upside down

BREAKING: 🇬🇧🇮🇷 UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham officially accuses Iran of involvement in the RAF Fairford incident
Despite that the UK authorities announced that it was just random thieves smuggling oil and they were released.
🚨 375 birds freed & 18 poachers caught!
In just 4 weeks in #Cyprus, our teams seized 335 cruel glue traps & 37 nets.
Best of all? Safely releasing 107 trapped birds at a single site, including a rare endemic Cyprus Scops Owl
We won't stop until songbirds are safe.
If Scottish pensioners swally their triple lock being stopped to pay for end of life care they get in Scotland for England's benefit - then they will also swally their homes being sold to pay for it under the next English Tory Govt and co-pay private health insurance too.
Good morning from the heart of Africa.
I cross villages on foot in the rain and under tropical heat with no salary and no organization behind me,because the Congo rainforest still breathes for all of us.
It stores vast carbon, shelters over 10,000 plant species.
