Marra is in over his head.
Michael Marra's 'EU membership' speech was a hastily put together stunt with zero detail. That's why he took no questions when on stage and has faced so little scrutiny. Marra stumbled and stuttered all over the place when STV's Colin Mackay asked him just two basic questions.
No answer on another referendum.
No answer on joining the Euro.
Just waffle from a branch manager puppet.

Between 1914 and 1918 a million British 'subjects' of the 'British Empire' died in a pointless slaughter because the 'King of England' fell out with his own cousin.
And we still have twerps telling us in 2026 that these people died 'protecting our freedom and democracy' 🙄

There is no British identity. British meant English before the ‘union’ and it means English today. The identity simply says you too can be a part of England and adopt its history, values and culture. So for the hard of thinking Scots who remain Scots are not British. Scot’s who want to be English are Brits.

The ruling class’s Remembrance Day act is nothing more than theatre. It hides a brutal reality, they’ll gladly send working-class people to their deaths while giving absolute zero fucks about the body count.

To be more accurate, Andy Burnham's regional manager has been instructed to support rejoining the EU. That'll need a referendum won't it? Has a generation or indeed a lifetime passed since the last one? /1

When I posted yesterday about Andy Burnham’s political machine secretly intercepting public emails to protect his Abu Dhabi property deals, my inbox was flooded by people thanking me for finally calling out what goes on in Manchester.
Well, I woke up this morning and looked at the latest financial disclosures coming out of the Greater Manchester Combined Authority, and the rabbit hole just got so much darker.
Burnham's authority has been caught funnelling nearly £1,000,000 of taxpayer money to completely anonymous beneficiaries in a series of secret payments.
They paid out £83,000 in rent to a hidden landlord. They handed out thousands in anonymous "consultancy fees." Worst of all, they gave a £210,000 capital grant to a property developer and completely redacted the name from the public ledger.
When journalists finally confronted them, the authority claimed hiding the £210,000 developer payout was just a "human error" and blamed the rest of the secrecy on data protection laws.
Look at the terrifying double standard at play here.
If a working citizen misfiles a tax return by fifty pounds or makes a mistake on a local form, the state will investigate their entire life, apply ruthless penalty fines, and threaten them with court.
But when Burnham's regional authority hands a fifth of a million pounds of public cash to an anonymous property developer, they simply shrug and call it a clerical typo.
This is exactly how the modern British political cartel operates. They use the language of bureaucracy and data protection as a legal shield to funnel public wealth to private, hidden corporate interests.
I am sorry, but they are not governing a city. They are running a shadow ledger with your money, and they are terrified of the public finding out who is actually cashing the checks.

Patricia's turn this week to abuse her position as an MP to attack the SNP from the benches of WM. Outwith her jurisdiction but this is now become a weekly pantomime from the useless, pathetic, Scottish Labour MP shills in WM. Tiresome, ineffective, and utterly desperate stuff.
The @UKLabour Govt has delivered a record funding settlement for Scotland - but still our vital public services are struggling.
It's time the SNP Govt stopped the excuses and focused on delivering better public services for people in Glasgow West & across Scotland.

Nice to see the rest of the UK having to put up with this useless arse licking house jock
His particular skill of just repeating the same answer to every question is a joy to behold
Trade minister Lord Anas Sarwar refuses to say when the government will bring down the welfare bill.
It's after a day of mixed messaging from the government on a timeline to get the total bill down.

Utter ignorance from @BBCRadio4
Describes Halloween as "an America import that has inserted itself into "national" and domestic life like Japanese knotweed" 🙄
Halloween the oldest tradition in these isles, from Celtic Britons .. predates Anglo Saxon migrants !

They've really fucked up, haven't they?
The class in power is the wrong class, making catastrophic decision after catastrophic decision in the name of a catastrophic rendering of human affairs.
They believe that we, the West, is Rome to Russia's Carthage, and they have acted accordingly to the point where the prospect of war has never been more real.
We have no enemies in Russia, they do. We are not responsible for Britain facing 'hostile states', they are.
Russia is not and never has been a threat to Britain. But Britain is and continues to be a threat to Russia. Britain has not faced the looming threat of a hostile military alliance expanding up to its borders, Russia has.
They can't even fight and defeat poverty in Britain, yet they expect us to fight and defeat Russia.
They can't keep our pensioners warm in winter, yet they expect the grandsons of those pensioners to fight Russia.
They can't even keep all our children properly fed and securely housed, yet they expect their dads to fight Russia.
Despite everything, they want us to play the patriot game, to believe them when they say that Russia poses a growing threat.
The real threat is posed by them and their barbaric ways.
In the year 2026, is this really as good as it gets?

Ok, I’ve had enough…
The current Labour Party is a lying, vindictive and corrupt organisation, proliferating the views of their paymasters
They no longer represent the common citizen, the poor, the young, or anyone who needs support - except corporations, lobby groups of course
I unequivocally despise what they’ve become

Charles III is King of England. There is no UK King.
There are 2 kingdoms and 2 crowns in the so-called UK.
No monarch since the death of Queen Anne in 1714 has taken the Scots coronation oath as required by the Scots constitution & law.
There is currently no King of Scots.
Comparison with European monarchies is not easy but the UK King seems to receive generous public funding, £99.9m.
£42m in Norway
£52m in the Netherlands
£18m in Denmark
£13.5m in Sweden
£7.1m in Spain
Zero in Liechtenstein
Good value for money, or not?

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Charles III is King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland with one crown. The 1707 Acts of Union united England and Scotland into a single Kingdom of Great Britain.

"I stand here before you today as a proud lesbian woman".
Apart from the SNP, few in Scotland believe this self-indulgent, anti-fact, unscientific nonsense. Not one person in that auditorium felt it necessary to challenge such balderdash. And this, in the land of The Enlightenment. 🤦♂️
The SNP under its current leadership team is now the biggest obstacle to independence & a better nation. 12 years of post referendum rule & the SNP has:
- no strategy for independence,
- made no preparations for statehood, &
- has no credible leaders for our nation.
The SNP has repelled most Scots with their control-freakery centralisation, beige talentless politicians, & cult-like adherence to this kind of nonsense. It has repelled our schemes, our businesses, Yes voters, as well as the soft-No's who were thinking about independence.
Any meaningful debate on independence has now been banished from the SNP's main conference & all substance relegated to fringe events.
Orwell sums up perfectly, the state of a once great party:
"Applied to a Party member, it means a loyal willingness to say that black is white when Party discipline demands this. But it means also the ability to BELIEVE that black is white, and more, to KNOW that black is white, and to forget that one has ever believed the contrary."
Scotland is so much more, and so much better, than what the SNP hierarchy is offering.
Time to think anew, and act anew. 🏴

It’s time to understand exactly what ‘the U.K.’ is and always was under the camouflage of its ‘union’ narrative. Something crawled into existence in 1066 and it has eaten the world alive ever since - including its own disposable, income generating, canon fodder working class.
We end it by exposing the truth that there is no union and never was - no matter how many wigged, legal buffoons drawl the circular reasoning that upholds it.
Then we reclaim the law, actual domestic law and international law, followed by our state our territory and our constitution. Liberation requires a struggle. ‘Independence’, well historically those granted independence through the UN process where the coloniser agreed and cooperated have remained colonised. We will not be granted anything by this criminal state. We will have to fight for it by every peaceful means at our disposal- internationally and here at home. And in doing so we must reject and remove the system installed by our own coloniser and its collaborators, where our vote is nothing more than a weapon captured by the political few to do whatever they choose to the many without any accountability.
