horseshit. Scotland cut its own college budget to fund tuition fees and suffers from it. And the fees cripple no one. Foundation hospitals BY THEIR NATURE make independent decisions on PFI; which Scotland is a heavy user of too.

The Bill for tuition fees for England was voted against by a majority of MPs elected in England. The Bill only passed because of the votes of Labour's MPs elected in Scotland. The same applies to foundation hospitals. Both areas devolved in Scotland.

Again FTs could be repealed. HSCA did not do so. Labour has not offered to do so. Lib Dems have not......you get the point.

Irrespective of whether subsequent governments have the political will to nationalise foundation trusts with the billions of pounds of PFI debt they have been saddled with, it should not have been possible for Scottish MPs to vote on that Bill because it's a devolved matter.

Not a reason going forward. Can change be effected within the current framework? Yes. That's it. Again what current issue is being held back by non English MPs?

The Barnett Formula wouldn't exist now if there was an English Parliament. We would likely have abolished the university tax and prescription charges. City regions would answer to English politicians, not British.

Once housing benefit is factored in. There is zero debate in England about how English spending is sent to London. London is screwing England, not Edinburgh.

How funding is distributed within England is for England to decide, the same as within Scotland, Wales and NI. London does get too much money but England as a nation receives considerably less per capita than Scotland, Wales and NI.

West Midlands 108% of UK average. Wales 110% of UK average. North East 109% UK average. London 110% of UK average (8,5m) Scotland 115% of UK average (5,3m). London receives 16-20% of all housing benefit in UK with about 12% of the population. London premium for NHS staff 10%

All of that London subsidy comes out of England's proportionately smaller pot of British funding. How England's share of the funding pot is spent in England is a different issue to what England's fair share should be.

Same MPs doing the same shit. Housing benefit is not devolved so does come from Scottish taxpayers too.
