Working collaboratively will not work. This is a sham.
The primary goal of the Anglo-British state and successive governments is to maintain its hold on #Scotland as colony & continue to extract and exploit our territorial resources for the benefit of England and its elite.
'We owe it to the people of all four nations to get to a point where the UK government is working in a collaborative way with the devolved governments,' Prime Minister Andy Burnham says in his opening remarks at today's devolution summit in Glasgow.

Hey @andyburnham
How about you devolve more power to Scotland?
Like, all of it.
You do England. We’ll do us.
You’re not in Manchester now.

Thing is, Andy, you can’t keep saying that English mayors know best what’s best for their patch while preventing elected governments from suggesting the same, writes Ruth Wishart ✍️

I have rarely seen unionism so badly fractured. Unionist unity is a pipe dream. And at any rate it’s little more than a comfort blanket full of holes. It might have had some impact 50 years ago but the times they are a changin’.

He means that England must decide. Not 'together', but imposed. No 'devolution', no equal votes, no national democracy. Do as England instructs.

Laura Kuenssberg so embarrassingly weak, interviewing John Healey.
What is the point of her? No challenge to Healey, no follow-up, no exposing his budget lies.

It would suit England for constitutional change to happen at a slow pace, only because Treasury wants to secure Scotland’s resources and surpluses for more decades. Scots, rightly, will resist continued exploitation and democratic deficit. #IndependenceNow

This unelected clown is getting over £300 a day for being in the Lords as well as whatever salary he gets as a trade minister, until that is Scotland goes independent & he & the rest of the Scottish ones get kicked off the gravy train
#ScottishIndependence
Trade minister Lord Anas Sarwar refuses to say when the government will bring down the welfare bill.
It's after a day of mixed messaging from the government on a timeline to get the total bill down.
