“In a furious letter to Starmer, Welsh Labour members of the Senedd said the UK Government’s use of the Internal Market Act… was “at best deeply insensitive, at worst a constitutional outrage”.
Meanwhile there’s not a peep from UK Labour’s North Britain branch office.

Where's Scottish Labour's outrage over Keir Starmer's devolution 'rollback'?
Scottish Labour are unable or unwilling to stand up to their London bosses and all signs are showing they are about to pay a heavy price

There may be a vacancy in the newsroom of BBC Scotland for reporting this success story. 😂
It's actually worth pointing out that it is NOT the @snp.org that get this money, It's the Scottish government who gets it & it is revenue generated for the people of Scotland.

Arrogance on stilts.
No longer can this be called 'A voluntary union' if English politicians keep denying to recognise a legitimate mandate.
If Westminster cannot say what the mechanism is that we can use to leave, Then it is tantamount to a hostage situation.

Very interesting story from Robert Peston on Twitter.
It sounds like Labour very deliberately engineered a series of artificial, unnecessary storms in teacups in advance of the budget.
In a follow-up tweet, he mentioned that the beginnings of an official investigation are under way.

Child poverty in Scotland has fallen to its lowest level in three decades, with both absolute and relative rates continuing to sit well below the UK average. For 2023–24, those rates were 22% and 17% respectively – 9% lower than the UK’s 31% and 26%
