More people in Scotland voted against independence than anything else in the history of Scotland. It isn't just that the SNP refuse to accept this as an observation of fact, it’s that they cannot differentiate pseudo-nationality from political ideologue.

One of the various straws clutched at by Europhiles aggrieved with the voting public is that our vote to Leave will trigger the disintegration of the United Kingdom. Starting with the questionable premise that somewhat different voting patterns are a valid reason to break off from other regions, they...

Watch Harriet Harman fail to name any of the seven most powerful politicans in the European Union. Harman backs the EU - even praises its record on gender equality - but she also openly admits that she is clueless about the identity of the seven most powerful EU politicans, of which...
