Sweeney Challenges Burnham on Independence | Glasgow News

Scottish Labour’s Paul Sweeney is stirring controversy by advocating for a constitutional convention to rethink Scotland’s future—despite Andy Burnham’s firm stance against another independence referendum. Sweeney, a federalist not a unionist, argues that the SNP’s electoral losses signal voters care more about public services than independence, and any future vote must have supermajority support. Meanwhile, SNP MSP Alyn Smith dismisses Burnham’s comments, calling him premature and criticizing Keir Starmer’s constitutional record. With Westminster still holding the final say and the SNP falling short of its 65-seat target, the debate over Scotland’s constitutional future is heating up—and no one’s backing down.
