Scotland shouldn't be providing resources to support and facilitate marches that cause fear and division in communities. The Scottish Government and Police Scotland must ensure officers are never deployed to events like this again.

If Andy Burnham is so determined that he won’t be the last Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, let’s have a referendum, let the people in Scotland decide, and see who is right.

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!

Most of Burnham's promises were for policies to be introduced after the next GE, the national care service, reform of the voting system, closer ties with the EU, all put off until after the next GE - political code for ‘never’. It was a very traditional Labour speech, the jam is always tomorrow.

Burnham's speech. "We will contest the next election with a manifesto commitment to change the electoral system so that everyone's vote counts and everyone's voice is heard." With the exception of Devolved countries of course.

‘Seismic’ Andy Burnham proposals already quite familiar for Scots. Right to buy abolished here 2016, free personal care 2001, comprehensives never axed, 62% Remain vote, water never privatised, PR standard. So what do Scots make of the PM’s big speech? Listen LesleyRiddoch.com/podcast

My dad, who I also lost, was a rather mixed character, who didn’t believe in much but himself TBH, and he also thought Scotland should remain in the UK. So what? He was from and lived in South Shields. Unless you think Scotland is England’s rightful possession (he probs did), it’s not up to him.

Either it’s a voluntary union, with its members having their own rights to self-determination, at any point or points of their choosing, or it isn’t. If it isn’t, it is an involuntary one where the largest member decides on their behalf. London denies Scotland that right, so it is the second.
