Hard to disagree with anything in this thread.
No British building better defines Britain to world or to itself than the Houses of Parliament. Across the centuries, architects have normally believed that the most precious & most sacred buildings in our cities should be the biggest, the most set apart & the most beautiful.

TLDR - He wants to be an MSP and his ego put personal ambition above the national interests.
Read about my defection from Labour to @reformparty_uk in today’s @Telegraph - where I believe this government’s gone wrong - and why I believe Reform offers real hope.
