Has anybody heard Penny Mordaunt's speech to the Tory conference?

Deranged.

"... historically, as far as the English are concerned, they [the Scots] are like a turd that won’t flush. It’s like a boil that you have to keep lancing over and over again."

“... it’d be funny if Westminster gave them their independence and... later that day, you sent in the RAF and the parachute regiment and [invaded] them entirely. And that’s it – put an end to any idea of sovereignty.”

Imagine what these Reform Party psychos are saying in private.

"Delivering a speech in Washington DC, [Braverman]... spoke of the UK’s resources being stretched thin... due to “high birth rates among foreign-born mothers”.

"She also highlighted “threats to public safety”, noting “heightened levels of criminality connected to some small-boat arrivals”."

“If cultural change is too rapid and too big, then what was already there is diluted. Eventually it will disappear.”

This is racism. Pure and simple.

"RAF shot down Iranian drones heading for Israel, Sunak confirms."

So the RAF is now in combat defending ISRAEL against Iran, which is responding to Israel destroying Iran's consulate in Damascus.

This is what the Tories and "Labour" define as the "defence of the realm".

Any questions?

Paul Kavanagh on conscription.

"Better Together types can go first and while they cower in a muddy trench being yelled at by a sadistic sergeant on a power trip "while subsisting on tasteless field rations sourced from a company whose director is a school friend of the defence minister, they can tell the rest of us about ‘Union benefits’."

The photo accompanying this report verges on being a racist trope. At the very least it's disrespectful and insulting.

The [US] State Department recently approved the transfer of 1,800 MK-84 2,000lb (907kg) bombs to Israel, with the decision reportedly coming on the day of the WCK strike [sic]."

The Guardian: "Biden calls for ‘immediate ceasefire’ in Gaza."

"The #SNP motion calls for a ceasefire. The Labour motion does nothing of the sort. In particular, its motion defends the right of Israel to continue with its actions in #Gaza if Hamas does not cease all its action. But, under international law, Israel has no legal justification for its continuing action in Gaza because it is no longer acting in any form of self-defence."

"This is an utterly intolerable motion from Labour."

• Richard Murphy nails it.

Starmer cited in The Observer: the Tories lack "faith in the strength of British national identity [sic] to “withstand discussion”, and this has weakened the Tories’ claim to patriotism.

"In a [Telegraph] opinion piece published ahead of St George’s Day, Starmer spoke of his “pride and gratitude” at being English."

British? English? British = English?

Starmer doesn't know his arse from his elbow and will crush any "discussion" of #ScottishIndependence.

Why Holyrood? Why aren't they climbing onto the roof of Westminster? Scotland can't do anything about weapons or diplomacy.

A reminder that Sunak was fined £50 for breaching lockdown regulations in Downing Street, while the average fine for the plebs doing the same thing was £6,000.

The same Sunak is probably in breach of contempt of court law in Scotland after his slur on Nicola Sturgeon this afternoon.

One law for them....

"[Scotland] would tend to be in chronic surplus to a quite embarrassing degree and its currency would become the hardest in Europe, with the exception perhaps of the Norwegian kroner."

Read the 1975 McCrone Report in full. Then reflect on why it was buried by successive UK governments for three decades and is still taboo at Westminster.

"The McCrone Report coverage has no paywall. We believe it is vitally important that everybody can access it."

“This election in Scotland is all about SNP failure. Our hospitals face record waiting times, standards in our schools are plummeting, the police are underfunded, and our roads are an utter disgrace."

Sue Webber's a gaslighting sour faced Tory hypocrite who thinks our heads button up the back.

This ludicrous BS is all these lightweight clowns have to offer Scotland. They're an insult to our intelligence.
