You do realise that the government make choices on where to spend their budget? Could the Scottish Government pay pensioners a winter fuel payment - yes they could have. Did they choose to prioritise other causes - yes they have. Not to mention the middle class tax cut that is no tuition fees.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Develop a manifesto based on policies they consider are of most benefit to the country - baby boxes, tuition fees etc - and then when voted in, implement those policies?? Pie in the sky stuff. They should be developing a manifesto that simply says their policy is to react to and mitigate Westminster's excessive cuts. What other purpose is there for devolution and on reflection it seems to be the reason that Labour were so keen on pushing devolution through.

Apart from all those manifesto commitments that they haven't implemented. Let's start with a Scottish Energy Company, scrapping Council tax, remove the burden of student debt, dualling of the A9, cut prison sizes, stop early release, 50p top rate of income tax, a legal right to treatment within 12 weeks etc. etc. But never mind - baby boxes to all parents. Woo hoo. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MazzyStar Posted Tuesday at 20:16 Share Posted Tuesday at 20:16 (edited) Sir Benito Starmer talking about collaboration between unions and private businesses at the TUC. If unions actually gave a f**k about workers rights he’d have been chased out the building there and then.
