The political entity currently known as Reform UK presents itself as a radical departure from the established order, yet a closer inspection reveals it to be a rebranding of the most regressive elements of British political history. It is the ideological heir to the hard-right Thatcherism of the 1980s and the exclusionary nationalism of Enoch […]
By Sam Hamad By voting SNP today, or Green in the English local elections, or our comrades in Plaid Cymru in Wales, you’re voting against everything the sordid, filthy, pathetic Labour Party stand for. Here’s a quick rundown of Labour’s record of shame: Supported the Tory Hard Brexit Stifled any progressive conversation on rejoining the […]
SPOT THE TORY GRIFT Don’t be fooled by the cyan tie. Reform UK is just a “recycled” Tory party designed to sneak the same old rot back into Holyrood. Here is the reality. 1. THE TEAM SHEET (Follow the Bloodline) Reform isn’t a new movement. It is a shell company for ex-Tories who can’t get […]
How Reform Hides Behind Your Phone Screen By Indybag The shift in politics from loudhailers on the town square to the private screen in your pocket is the biggest tactical move we’ve seen in years. For Reform UK, this isn’t just a preference. It is a survival -and perhaps a winning- strategy. By bypassing the […]
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 […]
Sarwar’s Dodgy Deal By our Political Correspondent. The Scottish Leaders’ Debate on April 14, 2026, was no theatre of ideas. It was a political necropsy performed in real-time under the cold glare of the studio lights. Amidst the usual tawdry point-scoring and the SNP’s increasingly desperate defensive crouch, a single, radioactive allegation from Malcolm Offord […]
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 […]
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: […]
By Damien Donnelly Tory/Reform No-Show… Almost exactly ten years ago (March 2016), I attended the first ever ‘LGBTI+ hustings’ for Scottish Parliament elections in Edinburgh. It was at this event that Nicola Sturgeon stated the SNP’s intention to reform gender recognition in Scotland, including recognition of non-binary identities. The legalisation of same-sex marriage was just […]
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 […]
