"Will Labour support a scottish referendum" should be an easy question!:
1⃣ We support the Union
2⃣ We'd support giving Scottish people a choice if SNP win a majority
3⃣ But only on a specific plan, and after further major devolution has been considered as an alternative. #Ridge
And the absolute DUMBEST thing about those 530 comments...
YOU MISSED THE HASHTAG. It was a response to the interview with @SophyRidgeSky where she asked a Labour MP for their position on IndyRef and he dodged...
i.e. I was telling Labour to take a MORE PRO-INDYREF position!
I trust I'll be getting 530 apologies from those who chose NOT to click on the hashtag of a tweet they were angry about to see what it was about first?
Especially as I was arguing IN THEIR FAVOUR!
Shall I start holding my breath now? @glasgowcathcart @AngusMacNeilSNP @Ross_Greer

Can you imagine if, during the years of Brexit renegotiations (2020-24), journalists had grilled the Tories on their manifesto promise to get Brexit done.... as much as they're now grilling Labour on whether they're "taxing working people"?
It shows they CAN do their jobs.
They just chose not to with the Tories.
Look at this.
It's very good journalism by @WilfredFrost, exposing that the Labour manifesto used the technicality of not directly taxing working people, but it still hits them.
"Get Brexit Done" was literally the title of the Tory manifesto and was NEVER challenged like this.
Boris Johnson started renegotiations SIX MONTHS after winning an election on a promise to end the Brexit negotiations.
So there's nothing subjective about the fact that the Tory government was elected on a lie.
Yet NOT ONE news station categorically communicated that fact.
