Dave Doogan: “There is no excuse for Starmer’s failure to act – it is yet another broken promise, which has left Scottish families…”

Burnham must wake up and take action now rather than issue more of these vague jam tomorrow promises.

The SNP is clear that the very real threat of a Nigel Farage Reform UK government makes it all the more important that Scotland has a choice over our future with an independence referendum.

The key point I was making, albeit clumsily, is that the SNP will demand Scotland’s democratic right to choose our own future is respected, regardless of who is in government at Westminster.

Andy Burnham’s promises are being broken or deferred for a decade – whether it is cost of living support or defence, we need urgent action now.
