Andy can run but he can't hide. "The fresh momentum behind Scotland’s independence movement suggests they could now win a vote. In fact, Strathclyde University’s polling guru, Professor John Curtice, told me today that for the first time ever the Yes side would be considered favourites to win."

Zack Polanski on BBC News, "Of course I can carry on as leader of the Green party. We over tripled our vote share in Holborn & St Pancras" My view: Labour may have held the seat, but it did so with fewer votes. A clear warning against Labour taking its voters for granted.

I'm not interested in the theoretical debate about whether Zionism is inherently racist, I'm more concerned with reality and that the actual Israeli STATE is extremely racist and currently engaged in a well documented genocide against the Palestinian people.

Simply put, scrapping the triple lock will affect every pensioner in the UK, but the savings will only be spent in England. No UK wide redistribution. The whole UK pays but only England benefits. To be fair this happens a lot. This example is just receiving more attention than usual.

The beach at Seacliff. The image shows a view along a broad sandy beach that fills the bottom of the frame and curves round to the right, with the blue sea on the right of it. In the background a headland finishes with rocks and an outcrop. There are a few people on the beach and the land rises to the left. The sky is blue.

Wouldn’t disagree with much that Burnham said today in what was an excellent speech. But… 90% of the substance is focused on England catching up with Scotland (Bus fares, rail nationalisation, water in public control, free social care and PR in elections). Not much for Scotland except Unionism!

In Scotland, we provide free personal care for older people without punishing pensioners. Andy Burnham removing the triple lock would simply repeat the mistakes of Keir Starmer. The blame for the UK’s financial mess lies with successive Westminster governments, not pensioners.
