Blair is a piece of sh*t…

By Sam Hamad I can’t stand any aspect of Labour, but Tony Blair is such a particular and outstanding cunt. It’s not just that he had to get his cunt nose involved with the Gaza genocide, namely through Trump’s pro-Israel ethnic cleansing embezzlement vehicle known as the “Board of Peace”, or that he advocated that […]

A Warning From the Past: They are Liars.

In 2014- THEY Lied. By Neil Scott ​A Facebook memory slid onto my timeline from April 2014. A headline before the Independence Referendum of September that year. A headline many of us seized on to show where Westminster had brought us to. It feels like a memory from a lost age, a time when we […]

Reform: The Tory B Team.

By Indybag ​If you listen to the shouty men on the telly or the grifters on X, they’ll tell you that Reform UK is a new force coming to shake up the establishment. They talk about taking the country back and standing for the real folk against the Westminster elite. But pull back the curtain […]

Reform and the Billionaire Dictator

By our political correspondent. The smell of shit is never contained by borders; it drifts, settles, and eventually coats the lungs of those of our common weal.

The Gilded Lottery Lie: Farage’s Dodgy Energy Gimmick

Under the flickering neon of a digital age cost-of-living crisis, Nigel Farage emerged with the “Nigel Cut My Bills” campaign, a tawdry piece of political theatre designed to mask a brutal neoliberal agenda behind a mask of faux-charity. In a country where millions are shivering in damp flats, Reform UK offered the ultimate bread-and-circuses distraction: […]

The Baron, the Millionaires, the Bosses, and the Bitter Betrayal of the duped Reform Rank and File

By our Political Correspondent ​The stinking hypocrisy of the Scottish Right is curdling. What we are witnessing today with Reform UK in Scotland is not a political movement: it is a grotesque capitalist circus. It is a pantomime of the powerful, orchestrated by a multi-millionaire Baron to silence anyone who does not fit the corporate […]

GRAY’S GRAND ERROR: The Prophet Who Backed Thatcher’s Wrecking Ball.

By Jock Mulligan John Gray. The man with the brain the size of a planet and the outlook of a particularly thoughtful grave-digger. He’s the anti-utopian prophet, the constant Cassandra who shouts about the failure of progress while we’re busy texting on our new smart devices. He’s brilliant at diagnosis, but when he touches prescription, […]

Scottish Independence Parties: Labour’s Pandering to Farage is Paving the Way for the Far Right to Roll in Fascism

By our Political Correspondent The Scottish Yes Parties have issued  blistering warnings that Labour’s increasingly harsh rhetoric on immigration, refugees, and asylum is doing nothing but fuelling a dangerous lurch to the right in Westminster, directly benefiting the far-right agenda of Nigel Farage. The SNP, Scottish Greens and SSP have reiterated that ​instead of tackling […]
