Has Andy Burnham’s big blustering speech from Liverpool thrilled you all Scotland? Nope. Me neither. Democracy being denied right in front of your eyes. #YouYes2 yet?

Govt minister Josh MacAlister claims unemployed young people are paid with PIP to be out of work. Except PIP isn't an out of work benefit, plenty of people who receive PIP are in work & PIP enables them to do that. Josh knows this. What hes doing is whipping up anger towards disabled people.

Finally, a Prime Minister has admitted Brexit has done 'more harm than good'. Burnham has promised to lay out "the different options" for what a new UK-EU relationship would look like. EU membership is the only option that delivers £92 billion of growth. Help us ensure Andy takes that option. 👇

Question pre Burnham's speech. The proposal appears to be that to pay for social care in England all pensioners in the UK should lose the triple lock. Is this fair to pensioners in Scotland where free personal care and free nursing is available to those who are deemed to need it?

Before the election, Trump said he could end the Ukraine war in a day. When pressed as to how he would do it, he said, elect me & find out. We found out. He had no plan. Let that be a lesson. If a politician running for office won't divulge their plans, they don't have any.

The Labour Party is supposed to be a PROGRESSIVE Government, things are supposed to get better. Saying there is "no money" for an minor increase to one of the worst pensions in Europe because you refuse to stand up to billionaire donors makes your party pointless.

Andy Burnham promised to repeal Margaret Thatcher’s “ideological ban on public ownership of water companies". That's a very, very long way from a clear, simple "We shall renationalise the Water Industry", isn't it? 😢

People getting excited or agitated by Burnham's speech need to remember that at the moment this is just words. Need to see action - and fast. The triple-lock thing is a red herring. The real sign of change will be with Healey's budget - at the moment it is just platitudes.
