Not my king - abolish the monarchy.

The key thing about this story isn’t actually what the PR firm did - awful as it is - it’s that the journalists they smeared *were investigating the undeclared funding that brought Starmer to power*
That’s why Josh Simons commissioned them

My parents left Iran in the mid-70s, when Shah was in power.
I was born in the UK in the early-80s.
I have never considered myself a Royalist.
I am progressive/left leaning.
But all I hear is Javid Shah from the Iranian people.
If that is what they want, I support them 💯🫂

The problem for democracy is that it will not survive three more years of such a system. We cannot hold free and fair elections if judges blindly accept the word of Pam Bondi and Kash Patel’s minions. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/two-...
Two cases and the grease that breaks democracy
The obvious lesson many are drawing is that ordinary citizens are more reliable protectors of democracy than judges in black robes.

Pointing out Westminster failures while defending the Union isn’t leadership - it’s contradiction.
At least the SNP are openly opposed to the UK government and the Labour Party, not making excuses for both.
