Scots, English, fluent Spanish and less fluent French speaking supporter of #ScottishIndependence, profoundly opposed to #Brexit.

Trying not to be carnaptious all of the time - family, friends, single malt, photography, books, travel, music, cycling and walking help keep me sane.

I feel obliged quite frequently to post gentle reminders here that the electorate in the UK isn’t just limited to the Tories (blue red and orange) and that voters in NI, Scotland and Wales have other choices too.

Now it’s been announced ITV will stage a televised debate ahead of the UK General Election featuring only Sunak and Starmer. Their parties don’t even stand in Northern Ireland.

ITV can shove its "debate" up its hoop.

A gentle reminder to compañeros in the fediverse tooting from England or with an English perspective - we have more party options than the Tories (blue and red and orange) in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.

UK Deputy Foreign Secretary Andrew Mitchell at a Commons "Business & Trade Committee" defending the continuing sale of weapons to Israel.

The slippery mendacious patronising Tory shill doesn’t have a leg to stand on.

It's a classic demonstration of the barefaced casual contempt and ruthless cruelty with which the British Establishment treats everybody outside its privileged universe at home and abroad.

Let's face it, John Mason needs to cross over to one of the genocide enabling parties as soon as possible.

He'd be a perfect catch for the "progressive socialist Labour Party" especially after the great progressive socialist Natalie Elphicke was welcomed with open arms by .

As the continues to attack and murder defenceless Palestinians in , ignoring the International Court of Justice, what response can we expect from Starmer?

What would Starmer be saying / doing now if he were Prime Minister?

Would be on the side of the or the IDF? Would he just go into hiding as usual, leaving Lammy to address the issue with weasel words in The Daily Mail?

Tick, tick, tick... The big blue tent camper van time bomb keeps ticking away.

Meanwhile the BBC transmits wholly inaccurate and misleading reports to put an even more negative spin on the proceedings.

It's curious how the British "public service broadcaster" drops the ball on accuracy so frequently - when it reports on the SNP.

"Stephen Flynn has branded Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar a “sleekit salesman” after he admitted his family firm does not pay workers the real living wage.

"On Sunday, Sarwar was forced to concede that his own family’s business does not pay salaries which match the level Labour claims will “lift people out of poverty” as part of their “New Deal for Working People”."

"Cameron has been slammed for “wasting” taxpayers money “to watch a Prime Minister getting drenched in Downing Street”, after it was revealed that he had spent £60k on a private jet to Albania that was forced to fly back as Sunak called an emergency cabinet meeting on Wednesday."

That's at least 6 people's pittance of a UK state pension for an entire year.

"The polls have suggested for some time now that the Labour victory will be a landslide. The more voters support Starmer south of the Border, the less he will pay the blindest bit of attention to Scottish voters and Scottish issues. Left to his own devices, he has shown that he does not give a toss."

Richard Walker: "Keir Starmer will have the same disdain for Scottish issues as Rishi Sunak".

Streeting has let the cat out the bag.

Remember Streeting's admission when sneaks into Scotland today to attack the Scottish Government’s record on NHS Scotland and other devolved areas.

In the same week that Scotland's latest census data indicated that 66% of our population identifies exclusively as Scottish and only 14% as exclusively British, launches the UK Labour campaign festooned in union flags.

Will the "patriotic" union flag shagging be a feature of "Labour" campaigning in ?

" MP Patrick Grady tabled the Scotland (Independence) Bill on Thursday and asked for it to be given a second reading on July 4.

"As the title of the bill was read out, however, Deputy Speaker [of the House of Commons] Dame Eleanor Laing joked: "Oh dear."

"This led to laughs across the chamber."

Next time you see a Guardian headline about "Britons", remember this!

"Most people in Scotland say their only national identity is Scottish – with the number of people describing themselves as Scottish and British plummeting.

"[Scottish] Census data... show that 65.5% of the population had Scottish as their only identity – an increase from 62.4% in 2011."
