Not to be missed. Rory Bremner doing what he does best.
Want to get up to speed on the #RussiaReport? Watch this & ask yourself why it took 8 months & a Conservative coup to get it out?

A really good read.
The 17th of May is Norway’s national day 🇳🇴 Full independence was a dream until June 1905 when the parliament in Oslo unilaterally revoked the union with Sweden. “Oslo’s frustration, with its inferior role in the Union, came to a head early on in the 20th century. “From 1903, Norwegian politics was again completely dictated by the question of revision or termination of the union… and the Norwegians again proposed legislation on their own consular system. In March 1905, [Prime Minister] Hagerup’s government was succeeded by a new coalition under Christian Michelsen, who implemented the law. King Oscar II, vetoed…. on 7th of June 1905, and the Storting decided to dissolve the union.” (Source: Den Store Danske) 🌐 peteryoungdk.blog/2023/05/06…

His album is the only wedding gift I still use, albeit on Spotify.
How many years can a mountain exist before it's washed out to the sea? How many years can people exist before they’re allowed to be free? How many times can a man turn his head Pretending that he just doesn't see?

The last windfall tax was geographically shared between Scotland and rUK. It reduced the deficit, it didn't eliminate it. Other taxes are also geographically allocated.

There was never an "English" empire, The "British" empire was after 1707 and largely because of Scots who had the military might, naval knowledge and trading nounce to exploit India

Why have we got ministers for devolved areas like Health and Education? Are we paying for English gov't on top of Holyrood?

Fair do's to @PJTheEconomist and his @TheIFS team. Great objective analysis. Also also tied into current political backdrop.

Here's Teeside as an example. Of funds allocated so far Scotland only 3.5% has been to Scotland. We have 8.2% of UK popn, can that be remotely described as Levelling Up? bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-te…

Three identically worded articles in three highly regarded newspapers in three different western countries. Ironically about Russian cyber warfare. Really good balance from @CraigMurrayOrg
craigmurray.org.uk/archives/… The Guardian, Washington Post and Der Spiegel have today published “bombshell” revelations about Russian cyber warfare based on leaked documents, but have produced only one single, rather innocuous leaked document between them (in the Washington Post), wi

Peter is doing a better job exposing gov't lies than probably the entire MSM. Everyone who cares in truth, decency and fair gov't should follow him.
Human rights are universal - it’s not up to this Government to pick and choose who does and doesn’t deserve them. If you agree please RT this widely

Lest we forget. Thatcher blew £70Bn of Scotlands oil on 9.5% UK unemployment. Still makes me shiver.

Oh and her gift of £200Bn of council property assets which netted her another £37Bn, deprived councils and created the lack of affordable houses. She should have been straight-jacketed.. how did we let this nonsense happen?
