Excellent from @BellaCaledonia
This is the energy we need in the Independence movement, not the SNP's lacklustre Holyrood & Westminster offerings: -
Looking back on the #HebrideanWay the lack of access to current events was simultaneously a relief and a bonus. I didn't know if the Tango paedophile was dead. Didn't watch much of the most corrupt World Cup. My head really did settle into a beneficial place. I've only been back on the news hamster wheel for a week and I'm already ready to Hulk Smash sh*t up. Burnham's dismissal of our right to referendums just topped it all off. Gah!

Let's hear it for .Scot at 95% - Not just pretty - football following (& failing🫤) kilt wearing, charity giving, alcohol indulging - faces😁
Maybe not a scientifically rigorous, statistically representative sample, but I'm having this as proof positive of our socially conscious, left leaning, Nordic, European outlook on life. #ScottishIndependence

It does not surprise. The ‘inclusive’ Burnham is a not going to take any questions from the A
Scottish Press (although most of them are not owned in Scotland I suppose). On a possible positive move, Manchester is Northern Britain, so possibly he is getting ready for England to leave the UK?#Burnham #ScotPol #UKPol #ScottishIndependence #Labour #Contempt #Frit

@a @BelieveinScotland according to Google, the fastest you can get from the Mull of Galloway (the most southerly point in Scotland, to Unst, our most northerly island, is 19 hours and fifty minutes. To Hermaness on Unst, more than twenty hours. I'd be surprised if you could do it that quickly.
The geographic mid-point of the United Kingdom is near Peebles, in the Scottish Borders.
We may be too stupid, but we're neither too wee nor too poor for #ScottishIndependence .

writes:“Prime Minister Andy Burnham’s refusal to accept Scotland's demands for a second referendum isn't just a betrayal of his own claimed key principle; it is as much a denial of reality as it is of democracy.
Just like all his recent failed predecessors as PM, he doesn't give a damn about Scotland, its people, and their needs.
Treating Scotland as a region of England rather than a sovereign nation and proving that there is no voluntary element to the Union is not going to make the issue of Scotland's independence go away.
We are not asking for a referendum; we are demanding one. We are demanding the right of Scotland's people to choose Scotland's future. The "Celtic Exit" is underway; all three of the UK's Celtic nations are led by Governments that wish to end the UK. More and more of the people of those nations are now refusing to accept that they can be continually outvoted, ignored, and economically harmed by an overwhelmingly anglocentric Westminster Government.
His own team encourages the media to call him the King of the North, which is about as egotistical as politics gets. What they haven’t considered is that it can take more than 3 hours to drive from South Scotland to Manchester and the real North of Scotland is 4 hours in the other direction.
There were people in Scotland who thought Corbyn was the answer - he wasn’t. Then they thought getting rid of the Tories was the answer - it wasn’t. To be brutally honest, Burnham just isn't the answer; he's just the new face of the ongoing problem that no UK PM of any party gives a damn about Scotland.
Scotland’s wellbeing will only be realised when all of Scotland’s problems and opportunities are fully in Scotland’s hands. Only independence offers the solutions Scotland needs.”

@Wen I did have. I had projecthope.scot for years from 2015, but I've let it lapse as it's obvious no one is still serious about #ScottishIndependence

Andy Burnham says he wants to give back hope to the country...and is going to announce plans to extract more oil and gas from the north sea. That certainly doesn't fill me with hope
Political power is too centralised, he says, and needs to be devolved away from Westminster (No, not you, Scotland).
So, more of the same, then
Scotland really needs to get out of this mess

The Guardian got this right
"In recent weeks, Sir Keir has repeatedly cited the alleviation of child poverty as one of his government’s proudest achievements. But he could only do so because mutinous Labour MPs forced his administration to think again and finally lift a child benefit cap."
The Guardian 16/7/26Let's hope Andy Burnham is much better even though early signs are not encouraging.

Viva Argentina! The best team won. End of story. It looks like the English were premature with their " it's coming home ' claims yet again.

Here in Scotland we saw criminal investigations for fraud for missing funds at SNP with former CEO imprisoned. Rightly so, but here we are talking about £10 billion given to Tory cronies with only a wrist slapping. No criminal charges and no one sent to prison. One rule for the rich !

The Guardian - head in the sand as always
‘The rise of Nigel Farage has prompted political leaders across Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales to game the unthinkable: the breakup of the United Kingdom.’
Only unthinkable in London and London newspapers and media

Why does Burnham hate Scotland
A hyperbolic title from ‘Prospect’, never itself a publication that informs itself of things north of ‘the border’.
I doubt whether he hates Scotland (some in Labour clearly do). He is just ignorant, not even understanding what is in public ownership or devolved here in a recent article.
Don’t put down to malice what simple ignorance can explain.

So Andy Burnham seems to believe power is far too centralised in the UK
When John Swinney meets him and puts the obvious question to him, I expect he'll squirm

@ShredderLivesOn well, a good start would be for Charlie boy to share out his fortune among everyone below median wealth, and retire on a state pension.
