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.

PM Andy Burnham bringing up his father’s passing for sympathy whilst using said persons death to attack FM of Scotland John Swinney that is crass & just shows the levels of desperation unionists will go to in order to maintain their precious Union x.com/pjwoodside/s...

This drug has been available in Scotland for over three years & there's been zero calls in WM for Why? England didn’t follow Scotlands lead years ago If it had been the other way around the press would’ve hounded FM John Swinney for answers www.facebook.com/share/v/1Pqg...

Energy-rich Scotland has some of the highest energy prices in Europe - and they are set to rise again this winter. If the UK Government won’t cut energy bills as they promised, they should get out of the way for a Scottish Government that will.

A historic day in Cardiff today. Scotland, Wales and Ireland coming together to assert that the futures of our nations must be shaped by our people. If this is still a voluntary union, Westminster has no democratic right to deny our right to choose.

Cheaper bus travel across the west of Scotland from Monday. A £2 bus fare cap is being introduced across the Strathclyde area, alongside new laws aimed at improving local bus services across Scotland. We will roll out a nationwide cap by the end of this parliament.

Mental health support should be there when people need it most. 24/7 Mental Health Triage Cars, already operating in Glasgow, Inverness and Dundee, will be rolled out to every region in Scotland.

Hands gently holding each other symbolizing support alongside text about 24/7 mental health support cars launching in Scotland.

On behalf of the people of Scotland, I would like to convey my deepest solidarity with people in Nepal and China following the devastating flooding. My thoughts are with all those who have lost loved ones, suffered injuries or have been otherwise impacted.

Scotland’s future should be decided by the people who live here. A draft Independence Referendum Bill has now been published, setting out the question and who would have a vote. Now Westminster must transfer the powers and let Scotland choose its own future.

Close-up of a referendum ballot asking if Scotland should be independent, with 'YES' marked and text about a draft Referendum Bill.

Wow! Not even nursing homes are sacred when it comes to voting rights and the Trump administration. New federal guidance could make it harder for 1.2 MILLION nursing home residents to vote, while warning staff they could face fraud investigations for crossing the line when helping residents.
