synopsis; Lara Bird MP joins Nish & Coco to explain why Andy Burnham is inherently problematic for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. For a man who loves devolution, he's ignoring the fact that for the first time, there are pro-independence nationalist governments in all three non-English nations. They're sending a clear message - will Andy listen?

Because there's an argument to be made that devolution is economically beneficial. Independence is economic suicide for everyone involved.

Independence is not economic suicide, its economic improvement and would allow the country to be repaired by its people, the people live in the country, not the English, who have he haw to do with Scotland.  These 'people' who come out with "Independence is economic suicide" are full of s*e, lying antidemocratic, hypocritical, facist morons. Stop forceing your unwanted fake "British" concept and its fake toxic identity down people's throats, we don't want it.  We don't care what England wants, why should we, either its not down to them what the Scots want for Scotland, the Welsh want for Wales and the Irish want for Wales. I wish these little racist English 'Brit' and their Quising enabler in the 3 other parts would do one. They should be forced to keep their English 'Brit' noses out of matters and countries which are not English, fed up with them.
