Are you listening #AndyBurnham ? Or is the Labour party Bain policy preventing you from acknowledging and adopting yet another SNP success story ? If its good enough for the Swedes to study why isn`t it good enough for rUK ? We need indy and we need it now.

The did a similar report on the highlands a couple of years ago. It completely ignores the fact that so many people choose a rural lifestyle and accept that it’s an hour to Tesco. Seems to also ignore that supermarkets deliver to rural areas

I have no issue in principle with reviewing devolution in Scotland. It should be a living process, and there's no reason why that should always mean devolving more powers. But it shouldn't be done with the explicit end-goal of clawing back powers to implement UK Govt policy over ScotGov's head.

Kemi Badenoch’s threat to strip Holyrood of powers shows what the Tories think of Scotland’s democracy. When people reject them their answer is to threaten the powers of the Parliament we elect. Russell Findlay needs to say whether he opposes this threat and what he intends to do about it.
