Detournement

It's going to be interesting to see how the hundreds of "Friends" of Israel in Parliament spin this.

If that happens unionists will boycott it the same as Catalonia.

I suspect that compared to 2015 there is a huge difference between the two main parties so Labour aren't as likely to suffer an exodus of protest votes to UKIP.

If the media reported accurately and as regularly about the effects of austerity or the UK role in Yemen as it does on Trump then they would attract as much protest as Trump. It would also help if the media actually reported on large protests in the tens of thousands. During the election last year Corbyn was drawing five figure crowds all over England which were barely covered while the supposedly impartial media were covering May's stage managed appearances from approved camera positions.

Sturgeon has said she will "consider it in the autumn". Not exactly fighting talk.

It's obviously easier to make daft accusations of me being someone else rather than face up to the fact that Sturgeon has no intention of calling another referendum.

Why? Because the SNP aren't even discussing it. Because the Growth Commision was an intentional wet blanket thrown on the issue. Because Catalonia has proven that governments can ignore civic nationalism.

There is zero chance of a referendum being called this parliament.

Cruise ships are hardly a broad cross section of society...... As for the poll there is so much tactical voting in Scotland now it's difficult to see how they can make these predictions.

He's the millenial Eric Joyce.

Apparently British business doesn't want a trade deal with the US as they will get undercut on costs. I'd also wager that Tory strategists aren't keen on fighting an election on a platform of chlorinated chicken, US factory farms and getting rid of country of origin labelling.

FBPE'rs are their own special breed. The Iraq War, the Libya catastrophe and mass homocide via austerity is fine but you better not touch their Erasmus program.

Farmers providing wages and conditions that are acceptable to British workers never seems to be mentioned as a solution to the fruit picking problem.

The BBC are shameless these days. Total propaganda.

Ash Sarkar getting Piers Morgan telt. We need far more communism on breakfast tv.

The greens doubling their vote is a strange one. How many seats do Labour get in Scotland in that prediction? It can only be 5 or 6 which seems a bit low given the near misses in the central belt last year.

Hopefully Donald gives us his expert opinion on the Brexit white paper later on.

IEA getting investigated https://www.opendemocracy.net/uk/brexitinc/peter-geoghegan/revealed-charity-watchdog-probes-pro-brexit-anti-nhs-think-tank

Similar to some of the shite your party was pedaling to try and stop Scotland gaining it's independence and chain us to this shite Very true. Brown/Darling/Murphy/Cameron/Osbourne/Umunna/Clegg/Alexander/Carmicheal/Davidson/May. All of them represent the same interests.

That's definitely not Project Fear level scaremongering.

Why even bother engaging? It's either someone at the wind up or a remedial.

The new health secretary has received £32,000 in donations from the chairman of the IEA. The IEA is a think tank that campaigns for NHS privatisation. The IEA don't disclose who funds them but it's most likely American private health companies. Human turd Kate Andrews who seems to get more BBC airtime than even Farage also works for the IEA.

The Lib Dems are getting that Quisling feeling. We'll know this is properly on the table when media figures start suggesting 'moderate' Labour MPs should 'put country before party'.

The she followed it up with a retweet for Madeline Albright..... Next week it'll be a selfie at the Bomber Harris statue.
