I've written a wee blog post about the parlous state of #LocalDemocracy in #Scotland. I've also written to the Dear Leader, John #Swinney, in a slightly more diplomatic tone.

Andy Burnham rules out independence referendum until its 'clear' most Scots want one

That would not seem unreasonable, but I suspect the evidence’ required will be one of those waffly, changes every minute things. Just remember ‘The Vow’. I can not see a unionist PM adhering to it when push comes to shove (as it surely will). But maybe a little hope. We do need to work harder to establish a greater consensus though. 52% in favour (last poll I saw is not good enough) - and they will rely on that.

#Burnham #ScottishIndependence #Referendum

Malta has 68 local government regions;
Luxembourg has 102;
Iceland has 61;

Scotland has 32 (and the #SNP wants even fewer).

What the hell *is* wrong with us?

If it's the #SNP's view that Scotland would be better served with fewer 'local' government entities, isn't the corollary of that be that Britain would be better served by fewer 'national' government entities?

"By failing Grangemouth and attacking ScotWind, Westminster is turning what should be a high-value industrial revolution into an extracted commodity. Proving once again that the current unionist framework cannot deliver a Just Transition."

Labour. Being Labour.

Why not support our workers here instead of supporting a genocidal Israel?

#UK government planning nuclear site in #Scotland - Jack

"The #SNP leader said the Scottish government would not support new nuclear power stations in the country, and was investing in #renewable energy projects."

"Scotland's last nuclear power plant - at #Torness in #EastLothian - is scheduled to be shut down by 2028."

May 16, 2024

"The UK government is planning to build a new #nuclear reactor in #Scotland despite opposition from Holyrood, according to Scottish Secretary Alister Jack.

"He told a House of Lords committee he had asked the UK energy minister to plan for such a site as part of a UK-wide strategy.

"The Conservative minister also called for the Lords to be allowed to scrutinise Scottish laws.

"First Minister John Swinney accused Mr Jack of being a 'menacing behaviour' and said his government would have 'nothing to do with #NuclearPower.'"
