From the SNP, two days ago, the above and:

If you ever needed a textbook example of Westminster’s breathtaking contempt for the people of Scotland, Andy Burnham has just delivered it on a silver platter.

The Westminster Prime Minister’s latest grand scheme is to establish a ‘National Care Service’ south of the border, funded entirely by scrapping the state pension triple lock – which covers the whole UK.

But as a Guardian journalist revealed, Burnham’s big idea appears to be to simply copy the free personal care system that Scotland has already enjoyed for over two decades – and it won’t even cover the residential element of staying in a care home.

Strip away the political spin and grandiose title, and the reality is as absurd as it is outrageously unfair: Scottish pensioners – who already have access to free personal care under an SNP-run Scottish Government – are about to have their triple lock snatched away to pay for English pensioners to get the very same thing. It is the political equivalent of a burglar stealing your front TV, selling it to your neighbour, and then handing you a bill.

Official Scottish Government analysis paints a devastating picture. As First Minister John Swinney has pointed out, this raid on older people’s pockets will collectively fleece Scottish pensioners out of an eye-watering £4 billion.

Only the National has covered this analysis fairly. Michael Marra and the MSM have defended the PM against Swinney supposedly mis-representing him.
