It's one thing to say you don't like Andy Burnham as Prime Minister. Frankly neither do we! But it's easy to forget that before Burnham, everything was just brilliant. UK OK.

Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham stands outdoors at a lockdown press conference, peering down at someone else's phone as the other bloke shows him the breaking news that Boris Johnson is going to cut funding to Manchester.

A graphic that says, 'Boris Johnson isn't the reason Scotland wants independence, he's the final straw (Scotland hasn't voted Tory since 1955)'. A series of Tory Prime Ministers are pictured (Ted Heath, Margaret Thatcher, John Major, David Cameron, Theresa May and Boris Johnson) underneath the words, 'DE-INDUSTRIALISATION - ANTI-DEVOLUTION - PRIVATISATION - OIL THEFT - POLL TAX - AUSTERITY - BREXIT'.

Scotland has had enough of the Nats and their disastrous obsession with separation. It's time for a fresh approach from up-and-coming voices in politics: people like Frank McAveety or Nadine Dorries. The people demand nothing less. We simply and politely say: No Thanks.

“Everywhere I go, people stop me in the street to say they want to sustain Our Precious Union. Why don't you just go now??” Good stuff as Baroness Davidson eviscerates the Scottish Greens over the ludicrous separatist plot to cancel sea.

A SavantaComRes poll for The Scotsman in January 2021 reveals that 57% of Scots want a referendum in the next five-year term of parliament, with 26% favouring an Indyref in the next ten years or longer and only 17% wanting the issue to disappear forever.

Ruth Davidson admitting on the night of the 2011 Scottish Election that Holyrood has the power to vote through an Indyref if 65 or more MSPs are pro-indepdence. This acknowledgement of basic maths lasted until 19th September 2014, when Scottish democracy was paused indefinitely.

Thanks to The Scotland Act (2015), proud Scots can now benefit from jobs in Aberdeen (and the tenfold increase in food banks). Swinney is threatening this progress. It’s terrifying.

David Cameron visiting an oil rig in Aberdeen, presumably to bang on about the UK's broad shoulders, as if an independent Scotland would magically lose access to Scotland's own resources for some reason.

A graph showing that the number of people given three days of emergency food by Trussel Trust foodbanks mushroomed out of control as soon as the Tories and Lib Dems began enforcing auserity on the British people. In 2010-2011 they delivered 61,468 food parcels, but by 2013-2014 the number had spiralled to 913,138, more than a tenfold increase in four years. Broad shoulders.
