What I think you might be missing @mrjamesob.bsky.social is that there's nothing 'natural' about Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish economic dependence on (South East) England.
It's a result of structural inequalities in the UK.

The problem with the UK is not simply historical grievance. It is structural.
One nation dominates its politics, foreign policy, media and investment, then presents the resulting imbalance as natural.
That is not a union of equals.
The case for a United Ireland is historically clearer than the case for Scottish or Welsh independence @mrjamesob.bsky.social
But that does not mean Scotland or Wales need to prove they were colonised badly enough to deserve independence.
That is not how self-determination works.

Nanny Cat has their hands full with distracted kittens 😻🐾
I wonder how many more kittens, juveniles or young at heart will show up at the barn?

Robert Jenkins is a fucking liar
He's been running around the studios of #bbcnews, #skynews, #gbnews and #lbc, this morning, denying that Reform UK has created favourable policies for crypto, when Nigel Farage has literally stood on a stage cheering it

@mrjamesob.bsky.social #lbc When I hear "Scaramouchi" the first thing I think of is "Do you do the fandango?"
@lbc.co.uk Why do you employ this guy? One job: listen to your guest and engage in meaningful conversation.
