Reposted by BillyJohn Swinney @johnswinney.bsky.social · 15hThe 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. 52235104

Reposted by BillyColin Dunn 🏴 @indyposterboy.scot · 04/10/2026And 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. 13323
