And how about those zonal pricing reforms Ed? Don’t talk to me about betrayal

Good. Next the incest shit please

This is quite regional within highland council it should be noted. Caithness for instance has loads of homes. Aviemore: almost none. As such, it’s likely to be struck down like Edinburgh’s attempt at a blanket ban too

Yes, Starmer the kid starver is doing his best to alienate his whole operation with this proposal. Why he is sticking so rigidly to these self imposed rules I’ll never know, a slight relaxation will not spook the markets, especially if he shows it will add to productivity or boost capital expediture

Ouch, even the whips are quitting

Crank is hard to define. But go read his subsequent career section

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig_Murray

He’s a crank. Literally stood for parliament as a stand alone candidate. Then advocated for Alba. Recently joined with George Galloway. Was in jail recently. What more do you want on him?

They ain’t anywhere close to terrified btw. Craig Murray is a crank and he’s been many many times more discredited than proven correct. He’s not wrong that international law is being ripped up before our eyes, but nobody is enforcing it, so what do we expect?

As ye wudnae sae didnae tae yer ma, did ye?

Yes, understandable, but he could have not answered too

I dunno, maybe people in Scotland keep electing pro indy majorities or some other antidemocratic guff. Holyrood is going to the polls next year

Didnae say we weren’t. Wouldn’t use that word to describe us today. Unlike Starmer

Tub thumping to appease Trump. Can’t see it actually working against TACO. And drones are obsolete almost as soon as you build them with advances in so many components. Why would we want to horde 10m obsolete drones?

He’s be better building shell capacity currently, that would actually help Ukraine win the war, and put us on a better war footing. And drone research facilities instead

As a manager, fuck Thursdays too

Thursday is bigger in Edinburgh too. Friday is a ghost town in many an office

No surprise to me in 2025 after seeing them side with No in 2014 in Scotland. Morally bankrupt, liars, and religious fundamentalists are all they have left in Scotland. A wasted vote

We need to start taxing these and making them uninsurable. Money talks, and the damage these investors are doing means they need to be held accountable for these investments

Given Salmond has died, Sturgeon retired, and 2014 was pre-brexit, pre Truss, pre Boris, pre Starmer. We have at least had a political generation between 2014 and today. With the orange goon at the helm of tanking the world, the timing isn’t great for independence, but who knows when a vote would be held, and how long negotiations would take either.

But Scotland will rejoin the EU. That’s it, that’s the selling point, the only reason to campaign on. We’ll setup Pound Scots and peg to the euro to enable transition as soon as we are able, to answer the next inevitable question.

Who will head this campaign? Can’t see Swinney leading it. Will Starmer acquiesce to this request? Can’t see him currently doing so, but also can’t see him making it through another GE currently, except of course the Tories are looking even more hopeless right now.

With Holyrood going to the polls next year, an independence majority is again likely. A request for a referendum is likely to be made again. Could Starmer grant one to settle this matter forever ala Quebec? Will Labour be able to refuse one given the kicking they are going to receive?

Wow, he’s done so much in and out of government. Why lose it all to be a nonce?

This is really bad. Like really bad. I would not be surprised to hear Starmer send in the SAS to extract kinda bad. Refusing entry is one thing. Detaining is heinous on a diplomatic visa. I only hope they are on a plane this morning
