WATCH: “If we’re going to re-do 2016, surely that re-opens the question of 2014.”
UK justice sec trying his hardest to row back on Burnham’s vague pro-EU comments this week.
Fine for UK to change their mind but never for Scotland.
Only way back into EU is with independence.

🤔 There’s been a lot of chat about scrapping the pension triple lock.
It’s not good for Scotland - @HeatherSNP explains why: 👇

I have received the first official estimate of the cost to Scotland's pensioners of the Prime Minister's attack on the triple lock.
It will take up to £4bn from Scotland's pensioners. And the Prime Minister plans to use it to pay for social care in England.
Community note
The £4bn is a Scottish Government projection for lower state pension payments in Scotland by 2049-50 vs the current triple lock. The state pension is UK-wide. Increased English social care spending would bring additional Barnett formula funding to Scotland. gov.scot/publications/d… heraldscotland.com/news/26595468.… instituteforgovernment.org.uk/article/explai…

This is a hugely significant moment. For the first time since 2014, Scottish Labour accept Scotland’s right to decide our own future, just as the Prime Minister has.
We now need to turn that principle into an opportunity for people to make their voice heard.
The new leader of Scottish Labour says he is backing the right for Scotland to decide its own future.

Community note
Michael Marra told STV: "I believe that the people of Scotland have the right to decide their future, and they did so in 2014." He added the SNP must build a "settled will" for change, as Labour did previously.

Scotland is a nation, and we have the right to decide our own future.
On Tuesday, I’ll ask MSPs in the Scottish Parliament to back that simple principle.
Whatever your view on independence, that should be something we can all agree on.
