A right hoo-ha developing over John McDonnell's comments on Labour not standing in the way of a Scottish Government deciding to hold a Scottish Independence referendum. I'd gladly welcome another referendum, BUT I take his comments with a bucketful of salt because A) he's a politician and therefore can't be trusted and B) Westminster Labour needs the SNP on board to defeat the Tories and he is not remotely interested in the Scottish Parliament.
And C) It was an off the cuff remark at an Edinburgh festival show. But what McDonnell said was basically correct and democratic.
But if there is to be another referendum I reckon the SNP will need a labour government or a labour led coalition to make it happen.
