The push for independence must start with self determination.
Working with pro-independence parties across the UK, pressure Westminster to accept self determination for constituent parts of the UK or admit to the world England’s as the majority entity rule by colonialism.

Unite need to stop funding Labour.

Self determination in this ‘voluntary union’ means any decision on referendum’s must lie solely with Holyrood, Senedd and Stormont.
Otherwise we’re a colonies of England.
No English MP should have a say on Scottish sovereignty.

What’s your thoughts on making the UK a voluntary union of equals where each individual parliament has the permanent right to self determination?

Labour eventually catching up with the SNP in Scotland.
Yet again.

We need to hit the streets to get all national parliaments the right to self determination in this ‘voluntary union’.
That’s a simple majority in Holyrood to grant a referendum.
No English, Welsh or Northern Irish MP should stop Scotland deciding our own future.

Will this be another English based party with a ‘Scottish branch office’ who do what London tell them.

Will the majority English MP’s continue to have a veto on self determination on each individual country in this ‘union of equals’?

If the answer to both of these is yes, then nothing changes.

Labour have been on this journey since Blair.

Sevco, 100% 🧟‍♂️

Another England based party with a “Scottish Branch”.
This one doesn’t currently have a position on independence.🤦‍♀️
Here’s a wee tip, hand over powers of self determination to each parliament.
Westminster’s majority English MP’s have no place vetoing other nations parliaments desire for a referendum

Westminster has a poor history on self determination.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 WTF

The ‘CHANGE’ Labour offered isn’t what they implied.
More austerity and kicking down on the old, disabled and the young.

Your pal @michaelshanksmp.co.uk wants to stick NEW nuclear reactors all over energy self sufficient Scotland.
Labour aren’t as green as they’d like us to think.
Where does the radioactive waste go?
Who pays for its lifetime storage?
Who pays to decommissions the plant?

Have you done the 5 ferry challenge Gregor?

What he should have said was the English and Welsh were sold a lie.
The Scots and Irish in the north saw through the lie.

When Corbyn was looking to walk into No10 and take the levers of power he told Scotland to get back in your box, now is not the time.
What I’d need from him is a cast iron commitment to hand over power of self determination to constituent parts of the union.

It’s easy to paint all politicians with a broad brush, but I think you have to take the time and draw attention to examples of double standards like this with Corbyn who came close to having the power to deny Scotland democracy and then flips 180 degrees now he’s out of power and seeking support.

It’s easy to say any future Labour government should support a referendum on Scottish independence now that he’s a backbench independent MP.
On the cusp of power he had his boot on the throat of democracy like a true British nationalist.

Corbyn determined Scotland wouldn’t be allowed to have a referendum at the start of his term as Prime Minister going into the 2019 General Election.
Just another anti democratic unionist.

English MP’s have no right to deny Scotland self determination in this “voluntary union”.
The union should be maintained by the consent and support of the people in each nation, or it’s a prison.

The scandal is that English MP’s are the jailers of the other nations in the ‘union’.
English MP’s holding the key to Scotland’s self determination is not a voluntary union, when all 4 main Westminster based political parties categorically rule out a referendum.
We’re in a prison.
When

Being an independent nation within the united nations is normal.
You add whatever label that makes you happy.

To expect self determination doesn’t make you a nationalist.

That’s your defence of your union.
🤦🏻‍♀️

Self determination only for the largest member of the union is not self determination.
Criminal.

Was devolution acceptable for Ireland, Cyprus, India, Canada, Malta, Pakistan, USA etc
England deny the other nations of the union self determination, that’s criminal.

We need a system where each of the nations within the union have self determination and do not require the permission of English MP’s to have a referendum.
The union is either voluntary or it’s a prison.

That would be a good strategy if they were competent and in control.
Neither of which this administration can be accused of.
