Representatives from each side believe a Farage-led government could trigger a hasty referendum on Irish unification and usher in Trump-style anti-immigration crackdowns that alienate the Celtic nations. The possibility of a strong Reform...

Scotland have been eliminated from the 2026 World Cup following Croatia's 2-1 win over Ghana, with manager Steve Clarke announcing his resignation.

Mark Steyn Clubbers may remember last August Mark's discussion of a case in Dundee, Scotland, where sisters were being harassed by migrants, but who were then charged by the local coppers - the girls, not the migrants. The older sister at the time, to protect her younger sister, brandished a knife and an axe. The MSM immediately came to the aid of the migrants, not the girls (ages 14 and 12). Well, today the case was resolved - and good, ol' fashioned justice won the day. The girls - after a torturous year of media attention, legal fees and the...
