Members of the Scottish Parliament (MSPs) have voted to demand powers to hold another Scottish independence referendum. First Minister John Swinney described independence as a “golden opportunity” that would “put Scotland’s future in Scotland’s hands”.

Grasping Westminster running against Scottish interests

MSPs agreed: the motion passed by 72-55, with the support of the Greens enough to see off an unholy London-centric Labour, Reform, Tory and LibDem alliance. Keir Starmer said he would not give Scots what they want.

This is unsurprising.

Starmer is an Establishment tool through and through, who has always treated Scottish Labour like a Westminster satellite branch. He has also put peace in Northern Ireland at risk by refusing to grant the reunification vote required by the Good Friday Agreement now that the number of Republicans is realistically enough to carry the vote.
