For the first time since 2014, a British Prime Minister has accepted that a referendum should take place when there is majority support for independence, as is the case in Northern Ireland.
I have written to him to discuss how we turn that principle into a legal mechanism.

To go from โoff limitsโ to this is an acceptance of the reality that the people of Scotland will decide their own future - not the UK Government.

What is the charge? Having a lunch? A succulent oyster champagne lunch?
Robert Jenrick says Nigel Farageโs โsole involvementโ in the donation investigation was to โhave lunch.โ
โYou can't criticise a leader for saying thank you over lunch to someone โฆ being polite is not a crime these days.โ

Paul Hutcheon's political position.
Labour run from London: Bad. "Decisions made hundreds of miles away in London."

For anyone who is trying to play down the SNPโs big election win:
๐ก SNP constituency vote share, 2026: 38.2%
๐ด Labour constituency vote share, 2024: 33.7%
If the 2024 general election was a Labour landslide, @JohnSwinneyโs SNP win was more of a landslide.
