Andy Burnham PM has already upset millions across Scotland and Wales before he steps into Downing Street (figuratively, at least, since he apparently plans to live elsewhere). With his various pronouncements, as he tries to convince the people of Britain that he plans on “doing politics differently” from all the predecessors who promised the same, he’s forgotten some key areas. Enough BurnhamPM ‘polemics’ Firstly, BurnhamPM made the egregious error of referring to the nations of Scotland and Wales as “the regions.” Wales’ governing party Plaid Cymru directly called Burnham out online, stating: But Wales isn’t a region, we’re a country. In…

Scotland completely banned rodent glue traps on Wednesday 1 July 2026. But this stunning animal rights victory only exposes the lethal loopholes that still exist in England. Once more, we are dragging our feet on yet more animal rights laws. The Westminster cabal passed a partial ban in 2024, but it left a gaping hole. These inhumane and torturous traps remain widely available for literally pennies in independent British shops and huge online marketplaces. Glue traps — Indiscriminate cruelty I don’t know if you’ve ever seen a glue trap. They’re vile, disgusting little cardboard or plastic sheets, coated in incredibly strong…

Sébastien Migné, the Haiti national team coach, emphasized that his players should feel proud of their performance against Scotland, despite the 1-0 loss in their opening match of Group C in the 2026 World Cup. Following the match, Migné told Reuters that his side displayed strong character and competed until the final whistle, stressing the importance of maintaining faith in their ability to reach the knockout stages, despite the disappointing result. The match held special significance for Haiti, marking their first World Cup appearance since 1974—a 52-year absence from the world’s biggest football stage. While Haiti previously participated in the 1974…

Scotland looks set for an AI data centre crisis after plans were revealed detailing a massive number of data centres planned for construction on Scotland’s Central Belt. ARPS, Scotland’s countryside charity, published an interactive map illustrating where the data centres are earmarked for. The charity compiled the data over growing concerns about the impact of the data units on electricity prices, communities and the environment. So far, at least 18 such data warehouse projects are seeking planning permission, the National reported, with a further six in the pipeline. ARPS is calling for the Scottish government to implement a moratorium on these centres…

Members of the Scottish Parliament (MSPs) have voted to demand powers to hold another Scottish independence referendum. First Minister John Swinney described independence as a “golden opportunity” that would “put Scotland’s future in Scotland’s hands”. Grasping Westminster running against Scottish interests MSPs agreed: the motion passed by 72-55, with the support of the Greens enough to see off an unholy London-centric Labour, Reform, Tory and LibDem alliance. Keir Starmer said he would not give Scots what they want. This is unsurprising. Starmer is an Establishment tool through and through, who has always treated Scottish Labour like a Westminster satellite branch. He…
