If UK spending decisions generate Barnett consequentials for Scotland, the Scottish Government can decide how to allocate that funding.

That could include protecting pensioner incomes beyond 2030. The key question is whether it would choose to prioritise that funding.

🌹 PM Andy Burnham’s first Conference speech as Prime Minister focused on housing, social care, opportunities for young people and public services.

Plenty to welcome. Now the focus must be on turning ambition into real improvements for our communities.
