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.

Most of Europe, Australia, Canada and other places have had this for years. Scotland's scheme was good and would have worked. WM simply couldn't bear the idea of Scotland being more progressive and advanced than England. That's it. No other practical, financial or ideological argument exists.

Wait .. Westminster said this would never work and stopped Scotland from implementing theirs, costing Scots a lot of money? The same scheme that is a huge success in Ireland? That seems odd.

It's not the cost. Indyref1 cost £18m (Theresa May's pointless mid-term GE cost nearly 10x). One estimate by neutral body suggested c£500m in 2014 to set up addition orgs. If not cost, why is this idea opposed by unionists?

"How is it different ?" "Because i say it is OK" We will never get independence by asking the very people who are against it if we can pretty please have a vote on it, SNP needs to face this fact if it has any chance of getting us free of this prison of a union Some WM rules will need to be broken

And even if the cost is arguable, surely the UK democratic deficit must convince fair-minded opponents of independence that a vote is right and a mandate for it exists.

Burnham has destroyed two of the main arguments of the Westminster parties. He's pensioned off the claim that Scottish state pensions can only be protected in the UK and by opening the door to an EU referendum he's blown up the argument against indyref2. weegingerdug.wordpress.com/2026/10/02/b...

Diesel fuel in Scotland is over £2 a litre for the first time ever - double what it was ten years ago. Westminster is responsible for the energy market.
