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.

Totally agree with you but these marches should be ban permanently
Scotland shouldn't be providing resources to support and facilitate marches that cause fear and division in communities. The Scottish Government and Police Scotland must ensure officers are never deployed to events like this again.
Burnham's crude emotional manipulation in linking the death of his father to John Swinney's claim he will be the last UK PM inadvertently revealed the poverty of Westminster's arguments against Scottish independence. weegingerdug.wordpress.com/2026/09/30/b...
Burnham’s crude emotional manipulation reveals the poverty of Westminster’s case
The only living politician mentioned by Andy Burnham during his jam tomorrow speech to the Labour party conference was John Swinney, and that was only in order to take a nasty, underhanded and emot…

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.
Sounds like he’s a reform supporter wearing a red tie
His comment is inherently stupid! An independent country in the EU is still independent but is a member of a strong union with benefits and corresponding responsibilities. Scotland, in the UK, is not independent. Once we leave we'll go our own way but have a relationship with the UK without abuse.
The Sovereign Grant is going up by £50 million. That's another £50 million in royal funding, on top of the half a billion we already give them. It's time to scrap the grant, plain and simple. #AbolishTheMonarchy
Around 8000 people have marched through the streets during a Welsh Independence march in Aberystwyth 🗣️ 'We are on a journey and there’s no turning back. The next step must be equality with Scotland as a minimum'

Who was it that privatised your Oil & Gas? Who was it that failed to create an Oil Fund? Who was it that sold off the Steel Industry? Who is it that's privatising your NHS? Here's a clue: NOT the SNP. 👇 #ScottishIndependence 🏴 #IrishReunification #UnitedIreland 🇮🇪 #YesCymru #indyWales 🏴
And for clarity, the thugs in balaclavas are terrorists- not people protesting genocide, not pensioners holding signs supporting Palestine Action - but these racist, fascist, terrorist thugs who are intimidating, assaulting, vandalising, and are yet to be the subject of a government COBRA meeting.
Like Pontius Pilot, Andy Burnham has washed his hands over the drugs his border control allow to pour into the veins of innocent vulnerable Scots Welsh and Northern Irish. The crisis has been worsened by the emergence of dealers mixing powerful synthetic opioids with heroin and other barbituates.
And if am correct Scotland is only 1 of 3 countries in the world that record all deaths associated with drugs that could be alcohol to paracetamol to crack nuts let’s not let that get in the way

Drug policy is a reserved matter for Westminster so why don’t you idiots demand they do something about it
Scotland's drug deaths increased by 11% in 2025. RCPharm Scotland is calling on the Scottish Government to take action and fully implement recommendations made in our report on pharmacy's role in reducing harm and preventing drug deaths: https://ow.ly/AJFf50ZQTxG
Here’s hoping but knowing what British justice is like he will probably get a £10 fine
🚨 BREAKING: Danny Tommo has been arrested on suspicion of criminal damage and recklessly endangering life at sea after knifing a migrant boat in the English Channel
✅ Majority support for indyref2. ✅ Majority support for independence. ✅ Majority support for Scotland’s right to choose. 🏴 Bring it on. Here is what you need to know: www.believeinscotland.org/three_democr...
"Tonight on Reporting Scotland, we dedicate the entire programme to the fact that Scotland is still Europe's Drug Death Capital. Whilst Drug Policy in Scotland is reserved to a government in England, & all the drugs are brought in by gangs in England, we ask "What are the SNP doing about it?""
Forth Ports is a private body run to profit various pension funds in nations around the world. Essential national infrastructure should belong to the people of Scotland, to our benefit.
The Scottish Government will intervene after Forth Ports pulled out of plans for a direct ferry service between Scotland and Europe
The oil companies ripping us off while the UK Government finds ways not to intervene on our behalf 🤨🤨🤨
Scotland has a right to democratically decide it's own future/destination. ANY MSP who states otherwise is declaring themselves undemocratic and therefore has no right to be sitting in Holyrood. Todays vote, will highlight, who in Holyrood truly believes in democracy.
🏴 Today the Parliament of Scotland will vote on : “That the Parliament agrees that Scotland is a nation that has a right to decide its own future” 🇬🇧 Lid-Dem Alex Arsehole-Hamilton has reaffirmed his position that Scotland isn’t a Nation, and should not be allowed to leave the ‘precious union’ 🏴🇪🇺😎
#CelticAlliance Independence is normal
On this day..in 1964. Malta lliberated itself from UK rule. 1 of 65 countries to do so in the last 100 yrs.. To this day, not 1 country has came back. #ScottishIndependence🏴 #Welshindependence 🏴 #Irishreunification 🇮🇪 nationaltoday.com/malta-indepe...
Today is the anniversary of the battle of Prestonpans 1745 the quickest battle in history exactly 10 minutes
Even back in 1959 the Establishment tried to invoke the same, bullshit scare-mongering. The same tired, old tropes.
🇲🇹 🇪🇺 Congratulations to Malta, today celebrating 62yrs of independence from uk Rule “Too wee, too poor, too stupid” 🇬🇧 🏴 The british politicians & media used the very same scaremongering tactics in Scotland in 2014, that they had used to frighten the good people of Malta 🏴 Are you YES yet ? 🇪🇺

Most of the answers are in the Scottish Government papers Building a New Scotland. Free to download.
Here’s an idea we keep hearing about all the young people in little Britain being unemployed or not in training or education so sign them up that way the warmongers in Westminster would have a very large military force and the young ones would get very good training & life experience
🚨 NEW: The Lib Dems have called for Andy Burnham to create an "emergency register" for civilians to voluntarily sign up for war
