Last week’s strong growth figures show that this government has the right economic plan. Today, the IMF has upgraded the UK’s growth forecast. We are building a stronger, fairer Britain.

It's quite astonishing how there's almost zero scrutiny of Sarwar and Baillie following Labour's catastrophic loss in the Holyrood election and the subsequent party civil war. It's as though Scottish Labour doesn't actually exist beyond being a means of attacking the SNP. If they don't attack Swinney and his team they have almost no media profile and are of zero interest to the Scottish media. Sarwar should be supporting Streeting to replace Starmer given both a return to the EU. Alas we'll likely never know who the motormouth supports because he won't be pressed to reveal his preference despite calling for Starmer to resign.

Yep! Although the Scottish Crown *still* exists! That’s because the treaty was discarded; no new crown of Britain was attempted and the English coronation oath was “extended to Scotland ”!! ‘Extended to Scotland’, read that carefully. Not a new joint kingdom which requires a new joint crown. Englands crown extended *over* Scotland. A totally different and incompatible institution and with no agreement to make that legal. Because of this, Scotland’s Crown co tinted as a constitutional reality and Scotland remains a ‘sovereign territorial nation’ - a highly unusual though not unique status. The British Crown, so-called, is just the English crown. No single kingdom exists. Treaty void. But, then, in the relationship of annexer and annexed there’s no need for a *real* treaty - certainly not for a tyrant (literal meaning), to take the oath to the crown of an annexed people. And there you have the grim reality behind the myths and fables of the happy-clappy story of a partnership that never happened
