Ah, Labour hypocrisy writ large, Tom probably doesn't even see the massive disparity between both statements.
...and virtue of the West Lothian Question, the Prime Minister is NOT accountable to ANYONE (English, Scottish or Welsh) when it comes to such essential issues as Health, Education, Policing, Social services (and many others too numerous to mention).
So, they're all accountable to a person who is held to account by no one. Fantastic!
@ QM - I don't think Tom realised the importance of what he wrote.
@ Anon - It's an interesting sort of problem really, one of their own making.
