Following the US into illegal wars is the biggest cause of terrorist attacks occurring in the UK and has been for over twenty years. And don't tell me that that the American bombers flying over my house are only going on 'defensive' missions

I have received the first official estimate of the cost to Scotland's pensioners of the Prime Minister's attack on the triple lock. It will take up to £4bn from Scotland's pensioners. And the Prime Minister plans to use it to pay for social care in England. This would mean in real terms 👇

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.

The leader of a UK government elected on 32% is telling a Scottish government elected on 36% that a 56% pro-Indy Scottish parliament can't hold a referendum that 68% of Scots want. UK democracy, ladies and gentlemen.

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.

Amount a pensioner receives in the UK is the lowest in Europe, just 2/3rds of France and barely 50% of Italy who are considered a 'poorer' country. Why is our pension 'unaffordable' when it is so low, and where is all our money actually going?
