Labour makes a grab for "take back control" - but doesn't answer how Scotland could take back control if it wanted to. (If it is a voluntary union how does Scotland leave while Westminster refuses a referendum? )
My Labour government will introduce a Take Back Control Bill. We will harness the potential that grows, not out of Westminster, but out of our communities. We will devolve power across the UK, giving people control over their own future. A new approach to politics.

‘If I were Scottish I’d be spitting nails!’ This caller who was at first ‘flabbergasted’ by James O'Brien this morning is appalled that Scotland is refused a second referendum without Westminster's consent. @mrjamesob

Our new report on economic attitudes and expectations is out now The survey takes a deeper look at the soaring cost of living and finds widespread concern, increasing debt, diminished savings, and broad calls for more action from Government Read it here: buff.ly/3PT8LZz
