Starmer says no independence referendum while he is prime minister
www.bbc.co.uk
The prime minister insists it is more important to focus on the economy than the constitution.

Added context is mine. Its like he wants the SNP to take over Holyrood next year. Not doing his little Englander image any good in Scotland with comments like this, just another colonialist

    Yeh, I’m a real person. And I live in Scotland. And I’m not Russian.
    So fuck off with that pish.

    I would also rather keep the Tories and reform out of power.
    But I also suffered many years of not voting Tory - and having a Scottish government that isn’t Tory - and still had to put up with a Tory government.
    I voted against independence because I didn’t want to leave the EU - something I felt the UK government had a guarantee on, but was very undefined with independence.

    And now that we have labour in the UK government, they are just Tory-lite.
    I get that they moved right in order to scoop up more votes, but they aren’t going to return left.
    They are passing austerity laws. They are not standing up for trans and immigrant rights.
    I’m certain they are better than the Tories, and maybe they’re just having a rocky start.
    Maybe I’m paying too much (or maybe not enough?) attention to the news, so I’m only catching the negatives.

    Reform aren’t gonna get power in Scotland, Tories aren’t gonna get power in Scotland.
    But it feels like Scotland is trying to do better and keeps on getting dragged down by the UK.
