This is a large part of the explanation as to why young Scots and Welsh people support independence.

The UK is failing on a very fundamental level, and Labour has no plan, just a slogan:

Labour solution to the Brexit ungovernability:

Make Brexit Work was always an empty slogan, never a serious policy.

And yet still Starmer keeps his red lines:

Starmer delivers on his pledge to Make Brexit Work:
November 10, 2025 at 8:58 AM
Correct.
Starmer’s red lines:
November 9, 2025 at 7:23 AM
Starmer has a plan.

Make Brexit Work is a confidence trick. Wales and Scotland are about to bring the fraudsters to justice.

Making Brexit Work. A masterstroke.

Labour are hopeless. The media smells their weakness and feasts on it. That is their job. They are ruthless predators. Labour are doing a good impersonation of Bambi.
November 9, 2025 at 6:07 AM
Labour aren’t even trying to undo it. They are exacerbating the problems with ”Make Brexit Work”. Here’s a clue: it can’t.

An obsequious individual who sucks up to the boss and always follows the political wind: ’catchfart’.

This is Labour’s game on Brexit: red lines that consign GB to the same isolationist club as Belarus and Russia:

The English electorate largely fooled themselves. Our sympathy should be very limited.
What they really wanted was to hurt their ancient enemies on the continent and what they patronisingly refer to as the ”Celtic Fringe” (Ireland, Scotland and Wales). That didn’t work out as they intended.

I’ll not be holding my breath.
Economic decline is inevitable as long as Starmer and Reeves keep their red lines:

Labour’s suicide:

*… with Belarusians and Russians…

Plaid Cymru has supplanted Labour as the main party among younger adults in Wales, while Reform has ousted the Tories among older generations

Starmer’s red lines condemn GB to isolation and are going to cripple the Labour Party.
October 25, 2025 at 6:36 AM
Labour’s red lines condemn GB to the dunce’s corner with Belarus and Russia.
