Labour. The party who think that pensioners should pay for everyone else whilst the very wealthy avoid any tax hikes. But, hey, of course Scottish pensioners should pay for English social care. The broad shoulders of the union? What next? Compulsory euthanasia for everyone at retirement age? 🤔

Why the Scottish Tory anti-Independence campaign is delusional

I'm sure all those tens of £millions donated to Reform UK by billionaires are simply gifts because they are nice, generous people, and not because they're expecting beneficial favours in return. 🙄 #YouScratchMyBack #BungHo

How absurd would it be for an SNP Scottish government to sit back, girning, whilst doing nothing, nothing, concrete to take the initiative and inform the Scottish people its elected govt was preparing, urgently, with the Yes movement to put the country's future to the vote?

Seems to me that Westminster saying that 'permission' to hold an indyref should be left to their Governor General in Scotland is just a different way of them saying 'No'.

There have been so many impeachable offenses, but lying about how you were a hero on a day that 2,753 people died in NYC in the 9/11 disaster—when you were on the other side of town, safely calling local media to brag about how you now had the tallest downtown building—is such a despicable one

It's WM arrogance. Yet the Falkland islanders didn't beg but sorted their own vote whilst in Scotland the SNP prevaricate, defer to England and look for hurdles too high to jump over. What a disgraceful state of affairs.

Any Westminster party that 'commands the House' via a FPTP election has a mandate to implement its manifesto. It's democracy. Yet in Scotland, where the SNP secured a FPTP landslide, with a pro Independence majority in parliament, WM refuses the SNP manifesto commitment. No democracy.

Here's Monica Lennon prattling on that a pro Independence majority means it's a matter for the Scottish people. We have that Independence majority. So why has she changed her mind? To be 'Scottish' Labour leader. Unelectable, unprincipled and undemocratic. Same old.
