getting to be Prime Minister on the back of 25,000 votes in a by - election, is a travesty of democracy and gives him No Mandate whatsoever to make any decisions about Scotland's constitutional future.
BREAKING: Andy Burnham, Britain's likely next prime minister, wants to 'tear up' the funding mechanism for Holyrood, The National can reveal.
Andy Burnham has said he wants to bin the Barnett Formula, which works out how much money the Scottish Parliament gets from Westminster.

The Welsh branch office of UK Labour has suddenly noticed that Westminster's 2018 Internal Market Bill (aka PowerGrab) threatens devolved policies in Wales. Remarkably, many Scots seem oblivious to the fact that Scottish powers have been stripped and other devolved powers overruled. Where were you?

A shocking account of recent betrayals to Scots by tories and labour. They're always in cahoots to keep Scotland under their control.
How did Westminster strip powers from Scotland? By retrospectively overruling Holyrood in 2018. This is how they did it . .

what do rich people do with their money? they hide it in tax free islands in the caribbean where it does no one any good at all.
what does everyone else do with their money? spend it, into the economy where it goes round supporting shopkeepers, businesses, suppliers and services.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social on taxing the rich: "This is about inequality. For decades now poor people have got poorer and rich people have got richer... the money [raised] is important but the real point is about tackling inequality.. we need to get those assets flowing around the economy"
