Referendum proposal - unnecessary and unwanted
The Scottish Government's latest referendum proposal is as unnecessary as it is unwanted. They should be working harder to get Scots back into work and the economy back on its feet instead of throwing yet more time and money at their constitutional fixation.
There has never been any majority support for breaking up Britain and we are already committed to strengthening the powers of the Scottish Parliament through Calman. They should get off this hobby horse as soon as possible and get into the saddle of governing Scotland properly with the considerable powers they already have.
"The bill also wrongly makes the claim those who support further devolution do not hold a consensus. They do: that consensus is that breaking up Britain is the wrong thing to do.
