  1. 1918: Ireland elects a majority of Sinn Féin MPs, 73/105, pledged to set up an independent parliament. Westminster ignores Dáil Éireann, then bans it.

    2026: #Scotland elects yet another majority of pro-indy MSPs, who vote by 72—55 for a 2nd #indyref. Just as they promised. Within hours, an anonymous Downing Street spokesman says "no". A faceless no.

    After 108 years, #UKgov still doesn't get this democracy thing.

    Can anyone go to London SW1 with a large #cluebat?

  32. #UKgov says #OllyRobbins overruled UK Security Vetting, and gave Peter Mandelson #DevelopedVetting status, without telling ministers what #UKSV found. So they fired Robbins. See e.g. The Guardian: archive.ph/sMAc9

    Such deceit of ministers would end the career of any civil servant. But the govt story is that Robbins as head of the #ForeignOffice went completely rogue to tell ministers what they wanted to hear about a political appointment of top diplomat. Not credible.
