Here’s an interesting suggestion on how to replace the House of Lords. It won’t happen, of course, but an independent Scotland might be able to establish a better form of Government scrutiny. https://www.thenational.scot/news/25850927.not-get-rid-house-lords-instead/?ref=rss

People in the UK are more concerned about immigration than people in any other country. I wonder what could possibly have caused this? Looking at you, BBC.

The interesting thing about this article is not so much that some Republicans voted against Trump’s wishes, but that he publicly threatened any of them who did so. This is not democracy.

Weird how they keep finding more money to fund the gestapo that is damaging job numbers by deporting workers but can't find any for a universal healthcare system that will save money, a free housing for homeless folk program that will save money, or universal basic income that'll boost the economy.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

Nigel Farage is going to "save pubs" by cutting 5p off the price of a pint of beer...
The £3 billion cost will be funded by reinstating the two-child benefit limit.
This might be the worst policy anyone has ever come up with.

I’m sure I can’t be the only 1 thinking that all these Tories defecting to Reform Ltd are doing so Only because they sense a chance to get back into Government again. It’s pure self-serving thirst for power.
