Irrespective of whether Nigel’s Fascist Party rebrands again, he has dragged uk politics to the far right. The tories are showing off their swastika knickers, and labour, under t’Starmer clone, are not far behind. We now have US style politics, a right wing party and an even further right party.

The 6th Reason resonates, it’s why shyster politicians within ukgov (and its compliant media) dismissed expert opinion in 2016, during Covid, and over immigration. It’s why they hate Nicola Sturgeon, she listened to experts, promoted their advice, and worst of all, showed up a PM’s incompetence.

We are witnessing irreversible loss. Act now: Support reforestation, demand policy enforcement, consume responsibly, and amplify voices from the field. Our children's documentaries shouldn't be elegies. Protect forests = protect our future. What will you do today? #EnvironmentalSustainability
Every single second, the world hands $6,000 to the fossil fuel industry in subsidies. That’s $5 TRILLION every year. Renewables? Barely a fraction of that. We are literally paying to cook our own planet. When does this madness stop? 🌍💸 #ClimateCrisis #FossilFuels

From the perspective of the BBC in 🏴 Scotland, any success by our government is NOT a matter of public information and must be hidden. The usual tactics are selective presentation of data, usually via a "friendly expert" with links to a London party. Currently it's the pilots of GP walk-in clinics.

So the unelected labour in Scotland leader is to step down from his unelected role as an MSP to become an unelected lord & a member of Burnham's cabinet. This is called democracy in the uk these days.
This is to be expected given NI's access to the EU, however we will never fulfill our economic potential while we remain in the UK. Northern Ireland needs a United Ireland in the EU. Northern Ireland needs to leave the UK. www.europesays.com/uk/1102003/
