Beth Winter, Labour MP, Cynon Valley seems to be a sincere politician.
But she seems to believe Brown's latest iteration of fandan federalism is a credible way forward to a "cleaner, greener socialist future."

“Laws passed in explicitly devolved areas are struck down at the stroke of the Scottish Secretary’s pen."
“In contrast to what Gordon Brown promised, the reality is that we are about as far from a federal state as you can get – and nothing that pro-#Brexit Labour are proposing in their anaemic devolution proposals will make any difference."

Broon's latest watered-down patronising federalism shtick is going to be promoted this week by two English city region mayors, the Welsh First Minister and Anas Sarwar, Starmer's compliant branch manager in Scotland, who will all be speaking at an event in Glasgow.
Every so often, he emerges from the mists of a mysterious Highland Glen to feed us more cobblers that's why he's #BrigadoonBroon!
@kennethb The choice of independence for Scotland is based on emotion (we aren't robots) but most crucially on democracy. The UKSC has confirmed there is no "union", let alone a voluntary "union": it's a unitary state dominated by England's population and vote share in the "union" parliament that can wipe out devolution with the stroke of a pen.
With the Tories Starmer's blocking the mandate for #indyref2 and has shown he cannot be trusted to carry through any "pledges".
"[Starmer] could start by recognising the mandate for another independence referendum won by the Scottish Government at the last Holyrood elections, but we all know that’s not going to happen. Labour announced that the people best placed to decide what works in Stirling, Sunderland or Swansea are the people who live there, except that if they decide they want an independence referendum, then Westminster will decide."

"Brown and party leader Keir Starmer are to unveil the report – which the former prime minister headed – at a joint press conference in Leeds [West Yorkshire, England] today."
"Brown said: “There is not going to be [an independence] referendum, people accept that now. The SNP accept that."
