I cannot keep up with the (bad) behaviour of the current Labour UK government.
Read this today on social media via MSM Monitor twitter (‘X’) account:
Apparently “Keir Starmer has promised more cash for the Welsh NHS although how much is unclear ”
(However I noted that the media reported this extra money can be spent how they, the Welsh government , likes though the media said the aim would be to try and bring down Welsh NHS waiting lists !)
While the same Keir Starmer is content that Scotland’s government will be bypassed for funding (with £150 million) going directly to the Labour Scottish SOS, Ian Murray , who will then pass it onto local authorities (Labour ones by chance ?) .
Which as an action, is contrary to how devolution should work ,as in the same devolution that Keir Starmer said that he, as PM, would strengthen if Labour were elected as the next UK government. (just not for Scotland it appears)
Also the same Scotland that Keir Starmer said was at the “heart of his government”. (obviously not actually Scotland as a country at the “heart of his government but he instead was obviously referring to some of the newly elected lacky Labour MP’s in Scotland , to include chief lacky Ian Murray , as some have been appointed to government positions within the new Labour government).
So Wales (who also have a Labour devolved government) are in line for more cash for their NHS (or whatever they decide to do with the money) which as money, is apparently going directly to the Welsh devolved government and NOT, like Scotland, going to the UK Labour Welsh government SOS, Jo Stevens, for her to then allocate directly to Welsh local authorities.
(Lucky Wales though not really as this is only happening because they are a LABOUR devolved government in Wales).
Also reported yesterday that :
“A dockyard has been transformed into a “world-class centre” for wind, wave and tidal power projects following a £60m upgrade.
Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner visited the revamped Pembroke Port for its official opening later on Wednesday (today) , ahead of what has been described as a “pivotal year” for marine energy in Wales.
It is hoped the changes – including a new “supersized slipway” – will attract renewable energy firms and create up to 1,800 new jobs”.
(So much for GB Energy HQ in Scotland as it seems more like Wales , as one of the devolved nations within the UK currently run by Labour , are the nation (as well as England I am sure) at the heart of Keir Starmer’s current Labour UK government as too are the rewards and benefits via Labour’s GB Energy Ltd ).
On the 19 August Keir Starmer tweeted:
“Working together, Westminster and Wales will deliver change”
While his, Starmer’s, message to Scotland from Westminster is that there will be no working together between his WM and our country Scotland and so for us in Scotland no “Change” there then as far as Labour are concerned.
Instead Labour UK will allow the Labour Scottish SOS Ian Murray to be the official UK controller in Scotland to remind Scotland of who the boss is in their UK.
I say keep an eye on UK Labour’s future funding, their government projects and contracts, the locations of job allocations mostly going to Wales (and England) more than to Scotland in the coming months.
Then watch how Labour and the UK media will promote that Scotland are behind both of these nations (if indeed that will be the case) as if our government loses out in direct funding, investments , jobs , government projects/contracts etc then that will see our performance in Scotland suffer via our NHS and probably other public services and also will see our economy in Scotland suffer too compared to other nations within the UK.
Watch this space.

We are the new pre-independence India.
Raped of resources and told that we are too poor and administratively incompetent to go it alone. This is colonialism in tooth and claw.
The Indians rose up, as did the Irish and Americans (et al?) Sufficient examples to take to the UN for a ruling on our rightful claim to cede from this damned ‘union’ .

Wales is underfunded. So is Scotland. Westminster wasting Scotland revenues and resources.
Scotland needs to stop voting unionist and vote for Independence. A higher turnout. To vote out all the unionist parties and recover Scotland’s finances. Finances not being wasted by Westminster but used to Scotlands advantage. To grow the economy for more equality and prosperity. The UK the most unequal place in the world.

From Jimmock. The real problem is that Scotland has been losing the people who have the gumption to vote for independence and the right to take responsibility for their own future for centuries. We are left with a majority of those who fear change, lovers of monarchy and its associated pomp, those who do not participate in the democratic process and immigrants whose loyalties lie elsewhere. This is a continuing process that will further reduce the support for independence over time.

A higher number of young people in favour will put the proportion up.

I take it the Welsh Secretary of State hasn’t been given £150 million to spend whenever they want to bypass the devolved government.
