#swinney — Public Fediverse posts

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.

Listen to this from Mark #Carney. #Canada is not ashamed to source its new icebreakers -- and their equipment -- from Canadian suppliers, supporting workers across Canada and keeping money in the domestic economy. What could #Swinney's #ScotGov learn from this?

@drgeraint this is true. But they won't get an #IndyRef2 that way. The reason I think the SNP *should* bring #ScottishLabour into government is that by throwing a few plums to them in terms of ministerial jobs they could get serious pressure applied to #Westminster to get the referendum agreed.

Mind you, I suspect #Swinney doesn't really want another indyref anyway, and that that is what was behind the stupid 'only SNP votes count' nonsense.
