00:00Do you support the idea of Andy Burnham and John Swinney working together on regional devolution in Scotland?
00:06I think this is yet another example of how John Swinney and Andy Burnham want to talk about anything except
00:13solving people's problems.
00:15This regional devolution plan they're talking about is more jobs for the boys.
00:19What Andy Burnham should be doing while he's here in Scotland is granting new oil and gas licenses in the
00:25North Sea that will be great for jobs in Aberdeen.
00:28They're not doing that. They're not talking about how they're going to create more jobs.
00:31They're not talking about how they're increasing wages.
00:34What are they doing on education? What are they doing on health?
00:37They've got no answers. We have drug deaths, highest in Europe, right here in Scotland.
00:41They have no answers at all. So what are they talking about?
00:44How do we create more politicians and more jobs for the boys?
00:48Devolution is just a process. It is not a solution.
00:51I want to hear solutions from these men.
00:53Right now, as I said to Andy Burnham on Wednesday, they're just faffing about.
