  2. @drgeraint and how is that going to help? The #SNP won just NINE seats under #Swinney's leadership at the last #Westminster election; it will very likely lose two of those this summer in by-elections; and unless he plays an absolute blinder he'll lose a couple more at the 2029 election, to #ReformUKLtd.

    How's he going to achieve anything with five MPs? They're lost in the noise.

  7. Ceremonial de Coronación y Unción y Exequias de los reyes de Inglaterra.

    Elaborado en el escritorio de la abadía de Westminster, este códice reproduce el ritual de coronación de los reyes de Inglaterra y los funerales regios.
    Se desconoce el motivo y momento de su llegada al reino, aunque tradicionalmente se ha vinculado al reinado de Carlos III, que tuvo embajador en **Londres**.
    Aborda rituales separados para la coronación del rey y de la reina, como fue el caso del propio Carlos III y de su esposa Leonor de Trastámara.

    Westminster, hacia 1390-1399.
    Códice manuscrito y miniado sobre vitela, en latín (24 folios), con cubiertas de pergamino sobre alma de madera.
    Hoy se conserva en el Archivo Real y General de Navarra

  8. I want to live in a progressive #IndependentScotland...

    With no #foodbanks...

    With no #homelessness...

    With no #childpoverty...

    With no #trident...

    With no #westminster policies...

    With free #healthcare for all...

    With a respect for #all our peoples ...

    As a #member of the families of the EU...🇪🇺

    Where people are #citizens not #subjects ...

    As a country that #protects and #supports the most #vulnerable

    All the above and more is possible...

    A #ScottishRepublic... #YouYesYet...🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

  9. I think we can confidently expect the further proscription of many groups if the High Court rules than this action with PalestineAction was in fact lawful. That is predicted by the current increasingly authoritarian maladministration we suffer under from London.

  10. What makes this especially serious is that Starmer says the failure was not disclosed to ministers before the appointment.

  11. This week will see #Westminster at its comically pompous best, full of transparent doublespeak.

    Most Labour MPs want #Starmer to go, 'cos if he stays, about 350 of them will lose their seats in 2029. That's more than half of all MPs.

    OTOH, they want him to stay for another 3 weeks, to take the blame for the massive election defeat on 7th May.

    This will lead to some weird manoeuvres, as Labour MPs try to fatally wound their useless, mendacious leader ... but not kill him yet.

  12. @Alternatecelt It will certainly motivate very strong showings for all of #SinnFein, #Plaid_Cymru and the #SNP at the next #Westminster election, whenever that occurs.

  13. My first visit to London lo these many years ago was in April so I think that's why I often daydream about it this time of year.

    Made me think of this dreamy scene that I hope you enjoy?

    It is good and very unusual in Britain to find a political leader that actually cares about what they are doing.

    Too often they are too busy mouthing off, running down others, or stuffing their own back-pockets to have time to do anything else.

    #ukgovernment is sick
    #westminster is #corrupt
    #lobbying bribes are destroying #democracy
    Vote #green

  15. @Lazarou

    The BBC are so biased they have convinced themselves up their own 'chimneys'. They are in the pocket of #ukgovernment and that #establishment is rotten to the core.

    #starmer will start using every lie and innuendo available to divert from his own end.

    The BBC need to wake up and look through the trees to the clearing inside the woods.

    #westminster is #corrupt
    #lobbying #bribes are destroying #democracy

    On the bright side I could actually smile this morning.
    Hope is on the agenda.

  16. @CanvasesByPeter

    Objections of the public, maybe.

    The #ukgovernment is complicit in the #genocide and has taken #lobbying #bribes from the now out of control #autocratic #israel state

    Somehow Israel has become the Nazi they fled

    #starmer has been radicalised and has become degenerate
    It is too late for him to repair his mistakes
    Starmer must go
    #westminster must clean up its mire

  17. @ProjectFearlessness

    Something I didn't like about Labour's campaign was that when it became possible #green might win, they used dirty tricks (i.e. the van with lies posted upon it) to try to divert votes to the 'reform' party, thus attempting to use FPTP as a weapon

    We have to hope that Labour learn from this error of judgement and apologise instead of using dirty politics

    #ukgovernment is failing
    #westminster is #corrupt
    #Britain needs cleaning up
    #lobbying bribes are evil

  18. @skykiss

    I don't suppose anything is quietly going on behind the scenes in #uk ? #mandelson appears to have snuck away to hide under a stone, as has #andrew .

    The rest of them, whoever they are, probably hope that the right Royal distraction is covering their tracks.

    No chance! They WILL be found.

    Somewhere in the vile #ukgovernment contracts conspiracy to subvert Britain are hidden links to paedo-island.

  19. @PabloMartini

    This seems disgusting, the sort of thing trump, or stalin would do.
    Just keep sending them back until someone gives you what you want. This is NOT justice.

    Well, the sooner #Starmer and #lammy go, the better.

    #westminster is #corrupt
    #ukgovernment is corrupt

    The evidence was always suspect, as is the company involved.

  20. #randomthoughts...

    Can anyone dispute the fact that #westminster is a corrupt #cesspit that will never benefit the people of #Scotland or #Wales

    it's time to #dump Westminster and go our own respective way...
