🇬🇧 BRITAIN UNDER PRESSURE
🔥 On Monday (tomorrow) in Cardiff, leaders of three political parties — the Scottish SNP (John Swinney), the Welsh Plaid Cymru (Rhun ap Iorwerth), and Northern Ireland’s Sinn Féin (Michelle O'Neill) — will sign a joint memorandum. This is the first such meeting since pro-independence parties came to power in all three regions.
📋 The document calls for the right to hold referendums on independence and addresses the economy, energy, and relations with the EU. Scotland and Wales want to join the union as new members, while Northern Ireland wants to be part of Ireland.
⚠️ Prime Minister Andy Burnham has already countered: a referendum on Scotland is currently “ruled out,” and there is no consensus in society.
💰 Plaid Cymru is also calling for greater control over taxes — transferring Crown Estate revenues to Wales and revising the funding formula.
🤔 Do you think this is a real threat to the breakup of the UK, or just another round of political pressure with no consequences?
