I’m struggling with the idea of a UK separation. How can the leaders unilaterally push for that given current understandings? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Last referendum: 2014 Outcome: >55% to remain in UK. Independence Appetite: High, evenly split with lean towards remain. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Last referendum: Never Independence Appetite: Minimal, pushes for better devolution over independence. Northern Ireland (So British embedded there’s no NI flag emoji!) Last referendum: 1973 Outcome: > 98% to remain in UK. Independence Appetite: Meaningful but still a minority by far. I do not believe there’s appetite for this across the devolved nations. Are the leaders of these nations engaging in treason?

Your wallet isn't thin because of billionaires and Capitalists. It's because the government keeps eroding your buying power with inflationary debt spending, taxes, and prosperity-destroying regulations.

I respect the hell out of Rishi. Country did him dirty.
Very very respectable man, he said he’d stay and he did. Remained longer than Keir and ironically almost everything Rishi warned about Labour came to pass.

We’ve reached an amazing moment in governance where politicians have just accepted they don’t know how to fix the real issues, so just start banning things to look proactive. What a timeline.

I just spent another 30 minutes looking at this.
5,000 years of world history on a single timeline. Zoom in. You could spend 30 minutes exploring this.

This is, without doubt, the only way forward for the Republicans.
One path to victory in 2028 is a DeSantis/Rubio or Rubio/DeSantis ticket. Ron DeSantis is incredibly Conservative and anyone who has been blessed to live in Florida will tell you how popular he and his governing style is. Marco Rubio is well known for being incredibly talented and a master of multi-tasking. He is a generational talent. America would be lucky to have this ticket.

🚨 Is there a possibility that Trump could actually be removed from office? Let’s be generous and say the Democrats win both outstanding seats, Alaska and Mississippi, which are both extremely close currently. This would put the Democrats on 56 Senate seats. You need 67 votes for a successful conviction after impeachment, so they’d need 11 GOP Senators to vote with them. Last time Trump was impeached, 7 GOP Senators voted with the Democrats. So they would just need 4 more than that. With the sun clearly setting on MAGA after the blue tsunami well and truly arrived last night, could some more GOP Senators who want to continue their political careers post-MAGA look to protect themselves, distance themselves from Trump, and vote to convict?

You can’t be this naive.
Legitimate question: if you don't live in the U.S, why do you give a fuck about the politics here?

RT @The_Crossbench: We’d like to sincerely thank President Trump and President Biden for taking time out of their busy election night sched…
There is zero comeback to this. There just isn’t. Debate over.
Italy owes us reparations for the Romans. Scandinavia owes us reparations for the Vikings. France owes us reparations for 1066. Morocco owes us reparations for the Barbary pirates. Are we doing this right?

We’ve existed for a little over a month. And we’ve already secured Sec. Pete Buttigieg for our live stream at @The_Crossbench! Genuinely feel a bit emotional about this! Well done to all involved and thank you to Sec. Buttigieg for joining us. If this is what has been achieved by the team in such a little time, what does the future hold? Well done all. Bullish on @The_Crossbench !

This is deeply concerning.
🚨EXCLUSIVE: An anonymous source has informed us that Oxford Brookes University has a ‘Black Students’ Common Room’. It is unknown whether students of other nationalities are banned from entering, though if they are, it is thought that this would violate the Equality Act 2010.
