Grand larceny and economic sabotage in plain sight ? Whatever happened to our famous Scottish stubborn self esteem and bloody minded refusal to accept second class status imposed by another nation’s government ?

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.

Burnham hates pensioners and the Scot. Trashing pension to pay for care of another nations elderly. First Starmer wanted to freeze the elderly. Now Burnham does not want to pay money for pensions . BUT STILL NO WEALTH TAX

UK Chancellor can easily increase income tax personal allowance by £3,000 a year. It will boost basic rate taxpayers by £600 a year. Millions will be helped. Benefit to higher rate taxpayers can be clawed back. The cost of £30bn can be met by ending bank subsidies, £100bn over the last 3 years.

This is how the Chancellor can increase the personal allowance and lift millions out of hardship
Sustained economic growth can’t be achieved without a major boost to the purchasing power of the bottom 50% of the population

In light of these new allegations about illegal funding, it is my opinion that Nigel Farage should step down as MP for Clacton. He should then stand again in the by-election and let the people of Clacton decide if he’s guilty or not of breaking electoral law. 😉
