In case you missed it Sir Keir Starmer Lord of the Socialists, has given not one but two ministerial roles to Lothian East MP Douglas Alexander the very same Douglas Alexander who was deep in the 2009 Expenses Scandal after getting caught quietly repaid more than £50,000 he stole of the taxpayer 👇🏻

In part 2 the author provides a vision of how a well-being economy could be implemented, why that is important,and where it could lead.
An independent Scotland in the Eurozone or using £ would find these proposals virtually impossible.

i am convinced that these people are death worshippers who want to spread as much disease and sickness as possible (i also think this is all tied up in eugenic beliefs about the “survival of the fittest” www.nytimes.com/2024/12/13/h...

We've come so far, but have a ways to go.
We can't let our politicians take us backwards.
I'm a gay man in my 60s. When I was a kid there was no LGBT representation in the media. Homophobia was rife. All that 'straight grooming' didn't make me straight, it made me a suicidal teen. You can't turn kids gay or straight or trans or cis. You can only teach them to be happy being who they are.

“We are investing in growth” says Government this morning whilst still ignoring OBR report its quoting from says Brexit is on course to cut UK trade by a staggering 15% - a huge reduction in the country’s potential economic performance when every penny counts. How long can this be ignored?
In a significant Intervention Bank of England governor said this week that Brexit has undermined the UK economy. @skynews.com.web.brid.gy didn’t think that was important enough to raise with the Government Minister this morning. I disagree. If you do too share this report
