How can a party with a tenth of the membership afford to spend three times as much?

Surely there's scope for a blue tent or two?

Who audits Scottish Labour's accounts?

Does English Labour know that Scottish Labour are short changing them?

Has the MSM approached Anas, ever?

Remember, everything Netanyahu does is to keep himself out of prison. For the sake of one crook's liberty, tens of thousands of people have been murdered, and now a possible full-scale war has been provoked. Israel must rise up and unseat him.

You may not be a labour supporter but the facts do speak for themselves.

9) My advice therefore is not to get caught up in this gaslighting "debate" withLab folk on here or in any other forum. Stick to the facts, which speak for themselves. Let's focus on what a devolved scheme should look like and whether short term mitigation may be possible.

8 ) The current argument being made by Scottish Labour MPs is that the Scotgov needs to fix their government's WFA mess. The current argument being made by Scottish Labour MSPs is that Scots must vote Labour to stop Labour's WFA cut. Both these arguments are objectively bonkers.

6) Instead, a fully devolved scheme has been pushed back to next year. There was no practical possibility of doing anything else.
7) Clearly Lab miscalculated in terms of how unpopular this cut would be. To distract from that ScotLab have adopted a course of wild confusion.

5) As a consequence of UK gov's unilateral decision to cut the WFA, the budget which was devolved to Scotgov was reduced by 90%. This made it impossible for Scotgov to unilaterally reinstate it. They don't have the money & don't have the financial flexibility the UK gov has.

3) UK gov did not consult Scotgov about this. Rather, it notified them very shortly before making the public announcement.
4) There is no conceivable way, therefore, to argue that Scotgov chose to cut the WFA. It had no involvement in that decision.

1) The Winter Fuel Allowance was due to be devolved in September of this year and replaced with a Scotgov equivalent.
2) But in July of this year the UK Labour government announced that the WFA would be abolished for all but those on pension credit or other means tested benefits.

Labour are lying their little hearts out about this. It's the modern game of politics, fill every forum with nonsense so it feels impossible to find the truth.
But the facts are clear, so hold onto them:

Maybe because Labour withdrew it..without even consulting the Scottish Government.

It really is time the UK Govt recognises this and reduces our bills accordingly. But what we really need is to take back control. Time for independence.
