The irony is that the people most angry about Westminster sending people to Wales are often the very same people who are fiercely against Wales having the independence to make those decisions for itself.

The BBC is just a stable boy to the Horsemen. Willing to shovel any amount of manure.
The BBC’s Middle East correspondent frames the Israeli elections as Netanyahu against “leftist” and “centrist” figures like Eisenkot, whom she describes as “softly spoken” and “lowkey”. What she leaves out is that he’s a former general and the architect of the Dahiyeh Doctrine, which calls for disproportionate force and deliberate targeting of civilians and their infrastructure. In what world is that left wing?

What Andy doesn’t mention is that the UK EEZ would cease to exist if Scotland was an independent self governing country. Here’s the Scottish EEZ mapped. Note the “stolen” waters partitioned by Blair and Dewar before devolution.
This is the official map of Scotlands territorial waters (dark blue 12 mile limit) and the UK EEZ (yellow boundary). There is virtually no oil & gas in Scotlands territorial waters (as I recall maybe one small gas(?) field off the coast of Moray). Less than 1% of oil and gas is in Scotlands territorial waters.

The core Sovereign Grant for King Charles from public purse to rise to £99.9m. 93% increase from £51.8m for 2024/25. 65% higher in real terms than in 2016/17. 25.3m people live below minimum income standard. We are in it all together, aren't we. leftfootforward.org/2026/10/…

The Sovereign Grant to the King doesn’t count as taxable income. Payments by the state to Britons, such as the state pension, carer’s allowance, contribution-based jobseeker’s allowance, and contribution-based employment and support allowance are taxable. leftfootforward.org/2026/10/…

BREAKING: Andy Burnham has clarified that Labour could never form a coalition with the Greens, due to their opposition to genocide and reluctance to quietly send arms to Israel while pretending to stand up to them

BREAKING: The Greens say all council power-sharing agreements with the Labour Party will end unless their local groups condemn the government's participation in genocide 👀
🚨 NEW: Labour says all council power-sharing agreements with the Green Party will end unless their local groups condemn the “Zionism is racism” motion

The dangerous & irresponsible blurring of challenging Israel & Antisemitism is deeply revealing. A Labour Government who apologised over their actions over Gaza is demonstrating that it was all performative. Andy Burnham still stands with Israel whilst it kills innocent people.

I'm the only Jewish leader of a political party. I'm a victim of Antisemitism every day and I've made it clear Jewish people are welcome in my party. You're a Prime Minister who arms a genocide and locks pensioners up for opposing it.
Andy Burnham rules out any partnership between Labour and the Green Party due to their controversial motion declaring "Zionism is racism". 🔗 trib.al/c05KDDg

Brexit was a stupid idea fuelled by racism, delusion and stupidity. If it were ever reversed it would indicate that we have progressed as a country.

What does "legitimate" even mean here? The Electoral Commission found massive breaches of electoral laws. It was the biggest case of electoral fraud in at least a century. And that's *before* considering question of Russian interference.

If you're a bit slow, let me explain what's going on: police arrested a bunch of lads near RAF Fairford, found no evidence of terrorism and therefore released them on bail. Marco Rubio then told Andy Burnham that we're messing his narrative up and we'd better blame Iran or else.
UK PM Andy Burnham confirms that the RAF Fairford incident was "highly likely coordinated in Iran, almost certainly directed by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard."

The people who write in Newspapers that publish cartoons like this have some very important opinions on how the Green Party is “racist”

Company behind Scotland’s biggest data centre proposal is owned by the treasurer of the UK Conservative party via British Virgin Islands. It could receive £23m subsidy. BVI facilitates opacity, tax avoidance. Successive govts have defended tax havens. theferret.scot/scotland-data…

Sad, but true. But we knew it was happening.

Thread. 👇
Tower Hamlets Council refused the Brick Lane data centre unanimously. Nine resident groups opposed it. The council and the mayor asked for housing instead. The government approved it anyway, through ministerial recovery, with the letter signed on behalf of Angela Rayner. The scheme offers 44 homes, six of them for social rent, and a data centre built around high-frequency trading. Rayner's partner, Sam Tarry, has been senior adviser since May at NorthPoint Strategy, a lobby firm whose sectors include AI, crypto and energy. Its chair is Tory peer Lord Wharton. Its crypto council lists Andreessen Horowitz among its clients. NorthPoint says Tarry helps clients "shape policy agendas". The minister who decides where data centres go shares a household with the adviser to the industry that needs them. 🧵 europeanpowell.substack.com/…
