IMHO, this is the way this should be communicated: Folks, Scottish pensioners will be impacted by £4bn a year. This money will go to England to fund their heath care system. We stand on an independent Scotland maintaining the triple lock or even better.

I just heard Kemi Badenoch say that Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are ruled by parties who want to tear the UK apart but, quote "we won't let them". It's called democracy, Kemi. We voted those parties in because we believe in our right to decide on our own futures. Pure raging!!!!

BBC Scotland has never acknowledged the decades of distress BY LABOUR COUNCILS to female Glasgow Council workers, nor the unions who fought against the women through the courts. Resolutions began with an SNP Council - due to decades of inaction this has cost to the City of nearly £1billion

Andy Burnham and Chris Bryant are incredibly naive in suggesting no one in Northern Ireland wants to drag us backwards. The current leaderdhip of the DUP, UUP & TUV are intent on dragging us backwards.

The UK's state pension is not generous compared to others in Europe. Older people relying on the state pension have to get by on barely over £1000 a month. Andy Burnham’s plans to end the triple lock are unacceptable, morally wrong and the SNP will stand against them.
