It's like he thinks the SNP are some race of non-Scottish interlopers who have sneaked into Scotland while the rest of us weren't looking. SNP are Scots, Scots voted them into government. #Lammy might be 5% Scots but the other 95% is pure idiot

Limited liability is one of our weird silences. It's a massive free gift society makes to plutocrats, seldom remarked upon, let alone contested.
Shareholders should have to buy limited liability, like any other insurance. The insurers would then be liable. 🧵

Well said @cornishskipper.bsky.social And ditto from Scotland where we voted over 60% to remain.
Starmer blaming #Brexit for tax rises may be accurate but when only 37% of a now disproportionately dead electorate voted for it almost 10 yrs ago, based on undeliverable lies, the questions are why should the rest of us stomach it & where is Labour’s plan to change that? archive.ph/2025.10.10-2...
