Dr Mairianna Clyde @mc1yde.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Good question. We have to hold Burnham’s feet to the fire over this. He espouses devolution, yet often fails to understand how it works UK wide in practice. #englishtaxesforenglishlaws 000
Dr Mairianna Clyde @mc1yde.bsky.social · 29/09/2026In Scotland we already have free personal care at home for the elderly. Burnham’s plan to reduce the state pension across the entire UK to fund this in England means that Scottish pensioners are being squeezed to pay for English home care. 261

Dr Mairianna Clyde @mc1yde.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Tax political donations above a certain level. Donations need to be capped to something compatible with democracy. £72 million to Reform is an attack on democracy. Isn’t Reform a private company owned by Farage anyway? 110

Dr Mairianna Clyde @mc1yde.bsky.social · 09/08/2026I don’t want to escalate this either if back channels are already dealing with it but I find the statement very worrying that the company thinks its earlier talks with local authorities were ‘constructive’ but its ‘enthusiasm’ may have caused it to miscommunicate. 100

Dr Mairianna Clyde @mc1yde.bsky.social · 29/06/2026So there it is. Burnham wants to weaken the Scottish Government. That’s his unionist idea for strengthening ‘devolution’. No friend of Scotland then. 35525

Dr Mairianna Clyde @mc1yde.bsky.social · 15/05/2026That’s just silly. There will be mass non-co-operation if they try. It would actually unite all sides in Scotland if they did. 030
Dr Mairianna Clyde @mc1yde.bsky.social · 12/05/2026Do people know he’s never had a job outside of Holyrood since leaving university 25 years ago? As staffer, then MSP? Yet he has the gall to diss our aspirations. He’s a classic grifter who owes everything to the fact we fought long and hard to establish a parliament of our own. 2123
Dr Mairianna Clyde @mc1yde.bsky.social · 09/05/2026I don’t think they know that though. I spoke to some when canvassing and they hadn’t a clue about Reform policy, they were just angry. 000
Dr Mairianna Clyde @mc1yde.bsky.social · 09/05/2026Yes I noticed this too. Edinburgh Southern did NOT change hands. Daniel Johnson (Labour) held his seat. 110
Dr Mairianna Clyde @mc1yde.bsky.social · 09/05/2026Harold Wilson, the last proper Labour PM, once said ‘the Labour Party is a moral crusade or it’s nothing’. 011
Dr Mairianna Clyde @mc1yde.bsky.social · 09/05/2026Reform won NO constituency seats. Reform did well with a section of voters in w-c constituencies where there are British Legion branches and Orangemen. With this sub-set their unionism is stronger than any socialist inclinations they may have had. But the maj of their neighbours voted SNP. 110
Dr Mairianna Clyde @mc1yde.bsky.social · 09/05/2026Hope the new Scottish parliament will be a constructive one but I can see energy becoming a flash point re SNP &Green co-operation as Stephen Flynn &Holly Bruce are at opposing ends on the future of the oil &gas industry in the NE. The issue tho really centres on employment & a just transition. 150
Dr Mairianna Clyde @mc1yde.bsky.social · 09/05/2026Paul doesn’t get it. As one Labour voter said to us, ‘Well I used to vote Scottish Labour, but they’re no very Scottish and they’re no very Labour, are they?’. 020
Dr Mairianna Clyde @mc1yde.bsky.social · 09/05/2026I wonder which way Labour in Wales will jump now? Under Mark Drakeford Wales had an outspoken leader who spoke up for Wales unlike in Scotland, where since devolution Labour did London’s bidding. That is why Scots started turning to the SNP whilst Labour did their best to undermine them. 181
Dr Mairianna Clyde @mc1yde.bsky.social · 09/05/2026These figures are very informative and show the volatility and instability of the UK post-Brexit. How could support for the Tories reach 42 and 43% in 2017 & 2019 but collapse in 2024? UK voters have since realised Brexit was a disaster but has the Labour Party? Too cautious on rejoining EU. 011
Dr Mairianna Clyde @mc1yde.bsky.social · 09/05/2026The best thing Labour could do in Wales right now is to join any coalition with Plaid C and the Greens. But if it puts its unionism above its socialism and joins a coalition with the unionists as Labour has done in Scotland, then it is doomed. 0124

Dr Mairianna Clyde @mc1yde.bsky.social · 08/05/2026The time may soon come when those armchair pundits pretending to be independence supporters and recommending SNP2 Green2 will be shown to be wrong as urban contests are too tight to call. 000
Dr Mairianna Clyde @mc1yde.bsky.social · 08/05/2026You don’t canvass. You’re not an activist. Or you’d understand differently. 000
Dr Mairianna Clyde @mc1yde.bsky.social · 08/05/2026Can I ask you, respectfully, do you actually canvass? If you did you would know how things stand. The constituency seats are not safe, as you seem to assume. Voters are all over the place. We need SNP list votes. 100
Dr Mairianna Clyde @mc1yde.bsky.social · 08/05/2026No you’re not understanding. Greens will do well on the list anyway (only standing in 6 seats) whilst SNP may lose key constituency seats but not be sufficiently compensated on the list because so many have voted Green2, in the belief they can game the system. 100
Dr Mairianna Clyde @mc1yde.bsky.social · 08/05/2026Lets see how voting SNP 1 Green 2 works out. I’ve been trying to tell you that in Edinburgh &urban areas constituency seats are not safe. The electorate is volatile &voting fragmented. Unionists could still win so we need SNP2. Reform is getting a foothold. 101
Dr Mairianna Clyde @mc1yde.bsky.social · 08/05/2026Reform has swept the board in England The Greens have made some small gains but not enough to counter Reform The UKs future looks extremely bleak 000
