What if Scots don't want to be taken in a different direction but want to decide on their own route to the future. We don't want our future decided by you or by Labour or Westminster but by ourselves.
My Labour government will take Scotland in a different direction and give people hope for the future.
There is no changed Britain without Scotland.

I had no idea that in the Duchy of Lancashire, if someone dies without leaving a will or known next of kin, King Charles gets the money
£60 million in the last 10 years.
How about stopping this right now?

Do Palestinians not scream in agony as they watch their friends and family die?
Do Palestinian children not deserve to laugh and play with their friends at school?
Do Palestinian lives not matter?
To save what is left of our common humanity, we need a ceasefire now.

Why @theSNP MPs wear white roses for #KingsSpeech. “The rose of all the world is not for me I want for my part only the little white rose of Scotland that smells sharp and sweet - and breaks the heart.”

In my humble opinion, some form of PROPORTIONAL REPRESENTATION is needed in future. The first past the post, two party system fails us appallingly.
2019 GE Results
Tories managed to break Britain with just 43.6% of vote giving 365 seats.... so 8.4 seats per % of vote.
Lib Dems had 11.5% of vote but only 11 seats.... so less than 0.96 seat per % of vote
So every Tory vote was worth nearly 9 TIMES MORE than a Lib Dem vote.
It's a broken system
