Lets see how Scotland having 590 MP's and England only getting 49would do for staters with Scotland deciding how funding would be allocated. England could of course have its own "Regional" Devolved parliament to allocate England's share of the money Scotland allows them to have, of course if England wanted full independence it would have to ask the Scottish UK parliament for a section 30 which Scotland will declare "That now is not be the time." and of course Scotland would decide whether the UK re-joined the E.U. with English views and input completely ignored.

Since the since the Parliaments united a lot of Scots more Scots such as Lord Bute, Hume, MacMillan, Gordon Brown etc have been Prime Minister than their percentage of the total population.

I really hope Scotland gets independence from the rest of the UK

[@martintaylor1349]

this House is a disgrace.it has definitely got worse since they let the cameras in.how do they choose the speaker,does anyone understand?what on earth is the MP directly to the right of Stephen Flynn wearing?was he planning to spend the night at the pub?

[@hieroglyph321]

Woah.... thought he was gonna start wielding a broadsword there for a minute 😂😂😂😂

[@Dragonsitter]

Totally engineered by egregious Tories adding then withdrawing their own amendment! They manipulated the whole situation because they feared losing their amendment

[@IrishFrank22]

Wasn't it stammer who had a private meeting with the speaker and influenced him not to allow only Labour to speak?

[@chriscunningham7155]

Get out of this House of Clowns and give us INDEPENDENCE! Goodbye Holye ... Keir Starmer should offer his resignation for putting the weakest Speaker the House has had in that position ... Shame! Betty Boothroyd would be turning in her grave right now!

[@Centaur987]

Honestly makes me dislike the SNP more. Appears they have more care about scoring points against Labour than actually helping Gaza

[@angelamasia9911]

they are not the ones taking money from pro israeli lobbyists

[@drewellis95]

1:40 is that guy in the glasses back in school or something “oh I didn't hear nothing hehe” we are a shambles 😂😂😂😂

[@daquidi]

the snp should leave the house of commons and not recognize its legtimacy.

[@ItsDeffoScott]

Hoyle was leant on by his party I bet. Crook.

[@Jezza_One]

Stop wasting time voting on foreign affairs you muppets.

[@Foldy435]

Look at her smiling and laughing with the childish heckler. Politics is broken beyond repair, a bunch of deranged money grabbing chancers.

Scotlands shame

[@aaagee7335]

Scotland needs to call for a referendum, now that they know their place in central Government.

[@MSalt69]

They had one in 2014. It failed.

[@MrsHawkinsHouse]

@@MSalt69well they can try again Cheery Chops. Things like that can happen outside the empire pet 😂😂😂

[@MSalt69]

@@MrsHawkinsHouse When the 2014 referendum was described as a "generational event" and Ssturgeon said there would be anouthe referndum if pro independence parties won a majority in the 2021 elections and the planned 2023 referendum was shelved. Not quite so easy is it Cheery Chops?

[@eyesopen7946]

Even if the scots won a referendum they would not let them go , Example Donetsk and Crimea won there referendums for breaking away from Ukraine in which the UK deep state opposes and that is foreign countries over seas , so no they would not let scots have there free will

[@GoldnDusty]

@@MSalt69 You can't call a vote to remain in the UK which remains part of the EU and single market, and still firmly upholds its commitment to the European Court of Human Rights generational if, just ten years later, the UK is out of two of those three things, and making grumblings about doing away with the third. Fundamental aspects of UK governance have changed since the vote in 2014, all of which are things Scotland consistently polls as supporting. The thing about maintaining a Union, Cheery Chops, is that the interests of all members have to at least be paid a passing notion.

[@2012gallina]

1.37 listen to this hooligan of a Tory MP just having a laugh and a bit of fun.

[@Achilles22]

What a waste of their time!! Useless vote

[@lindabrumpton438]

Its a pointless vote anyway, because it has no effect on what happens in the Palastinian/Isreal war.

[@GLENN999-z3q]

SNP needs to get their own house in order in scotlands parliament.

[@al_l6418]

Stephen Flynn should be speaker

[@kriswoodward7623]

😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@allanthorpe7139]

There is absolutely no reason why our elected members of parliament should even be voting about things going on in a part of the world they have no control over. If anything this is for the UN not the British parliament. RIDICULOUS

[@gl2773]

Something rotten in the state of Denmark.

[@Zoe-c9z]

No necromancers

[@Shood33]

We might live together in a place called “United Kingdom” but we are far from united because of this government. The UK is in tatters, Scotland and England are so divided… when will this stop?

[@webMonkey_]

It’s so embarrassing how are politics is conducted 18th century house not fit for the 21st century. New Parliament and all major offices should be moved to central England and new procedures adopted. Sell off Houses of Parliament

[@union310]

What is going on in Gaza has nothing to do with anyone in this Country

[@lamplight88h59]

I wish Stephen Flynn would get as raging about the absolute disasters and corruption taking place in Scotland right now.

[@Alext165]

What a waste of time the UK parliament, nothing but showboating and kids panto!

[@thembamabona9809]

My great great grandmother was Scottish and on behalf of her I say: Give us our own republic! Freeeeeeeedom! ✊🏽✊🏻✊

[@Sankara561]

'Loses it' is a strange way to describe an impassioned objection against the UK's bipartisan elite's complicity in the genocide being carried out in front of the world's eyes.

[@vvwalker7261]

Flynn desperate for relevance, it is disturbing

[@FreeFragUK]

It really does not reflect well on the state of the political system when countries other than England seem to be treated with such little respect and value.
