The London parliament has blocked assisted dying legislation

In practice this means that is will not get through in Scotland where the Scotland Act gives the Supreme Court the right to hobble much legislation.

Expect those with money and mobility to be travelling to Switzerland more regularly, often earlier than they would chose and more suicides - of attempted suicides.

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.

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.

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?

The National now understands that Burnham does not intend to make any further trips during his visit to Scotland in his capacity as Prime Minister.

Further, the media will not be given any opportunity to question Burnham during his time north of the Border.

Oh good. Even more centralisation. Just what the most overcentralised wee country (that's actually a medium sized country but thinks it looks cuter if it pretends to be small) urgently needs.

Not #ClimateAction; not #ScottishIndependence; not #LandReform; not #WealthTax; not #LocalDemocracy. Nope, none of that. Just mash all the health boards into just two, and everything will be sorted.

Remind me, why did we vote for these clowns?
