McGovern is still a journalist. I think he was a bit surprised she used her skills to ask him difficult questions on a "Soft show".Don't see Boris using this as a stick as he may have the same questions to answer.

SIR KEIR STARMER admitted he will look into a report that claimed the Labour Party Shadow Cabinet has claimed thousands of pounds worth of expenses since the first national lockdown.www.express.co.uk
Britain generally speaking.
We are one nation you know ;-)
Regarding the list of PM’s. I’ve had Major, Blair, Brown, Cameron, May, Johnson.
What a sorry lot!
If I was born a year or two earlier Thatcher would be top of my pile.

You see thats my point. Scotlands need for immigration is different to Englands.
So do regions of England.
A scheme to relocate people out of crowded areas of the country into places that need workers, is the best option. More immigration will just lead to more people in London, as they choose the bigger economic regions.

There are different regions all over the country that require different levels of immigrations at different times. There are places in Scotland that don’t need any, there are places in England that need as much as some of the highest need areas in Scotland.

Scotland isn’t a region.

Why are you using a Dutch map? The sub-division into regions is an English thing.
Regions of England - Wikipedia
It doesn't actually state Scotland as a region does it?

Is that you confirming you are wrong? Was this just you being contrarian for the sake of it?
What’s your problem mate? You’re constantly spoiling for a fight and making snide accusations.
No, it’s not me saying I’m wrong, I am correct. England specifies regions but then when the UK is taken as a whole, Scotland, Wales and NI are a region each too.
From the very link you posted:
Now I know what you’re about to say, but no, these regions haven’t been cast aside because of Brexit, they still exist, even if they do nothing today.

The UK needs immigration, Scotland more so than England. What we do need though is proper immigration controls, but we also need employers who will not take advantage of immigrants and pay proper wages.
The problem the west has is falling birth rates, I think the UK is now below 2 at around 1-7 which means population is falling. It also means we have a shortage of younger people and more older fuckers like me.
A balance has to be struck. Patel to authoritarian, Labour was too liberal. Somewhere there needs to be a compromise.

Let’s not fall out again please.
There’s nothing to fall out over, it’s not an insult, it’s just a fact of decades of being in the EU and it still is a region, just as Wales and NI are, with England being too many people so they divided it up.
It’s like falling out over it raining in Manchester, it just is.

Spot on, but that discussion has been closed down/poisoned by the open borders loons and the racists.

The UK had 12 statistical regions according the European NUTS classification system.Why are you using a Dutch map? The sub-division into regions is an English thing.

9 in England + Scotland, Wales, NI.
Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics - Wikipedia
ONS regional statistics have been grouped in this way since the 90s. e.g. there was a time when Cumbria was lumped in with the North East as part of region termed the North, but since the 90s its been lumped together with Lancashire, Cheshire, GM + Merseyside as part of the North West.

This is a more official source as it is an official body, it refers to areas as countries and regions. I'm sure you can appreciate why for political reasons the nations aren't referred to as regions. I seem to recall you have identified as a unionist, I'm not sure why you would argue something that undermines your unionism and has the habit of pissing off people in the smaller nations of for no gain.
The context of regionalisation you are referring to no longer exists as these regional areas or constituencies for the EU don't exist anymore. The main use of the English regions is now for statistics.
GDP, UK regions and countries - Office for National Statistics
Quarterly economic activity within the countries of the UK (England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland) and the nine English regions (North East, North West, Yorkshire and The Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East, and South West).
