Why would he want to? Keir Starmer doesn’t have any direct involvement in Scottish politics and Yousaf has no involvement in Westminster politics as a devolved leader. Feels like it would’ve been better to have worked this out between Starmer and Flynn.
I’m no Keir fan but why would he. Once he becomes PM, he’ll have an obligation to meet the FM of the devolved govrnments but atm what’s the point for him, what’s the win for him here. There’s no upside for him and sadly that’s what politics seems to be these days.
It’s almost as though Humza is an overpromoted jobber who nobody takes seriously.
I can’t understand this.
Why doesn’t Keir just tell the press he has met with him?
Like he told them Labour were discussing the ceasefire motion with the SNP. When they were not.
Or that he didn’t support Israel cutting off food and water to Gaza. When he did.
It’s not like it will be highlighted by the media here.
Well obviously.
Can you imagine the gift horse that would be to the Tories? Starmer and Yousaf meeting up months before an election. They’ve already done the whole ‘vote Labour get SNP’ thing before, they’ll do it again if you give them an inch.
Humza won’t last the year, Sir Keir should not be meeting with hopeless losers like him.
Yousaf frustrated after people won’t immediately jump at his whims
Yousaf frustrated after people won’t immediately jump at his command
Why would he? Yousaf would have nothing positive to contribute and Keir can’t win either way, because if he doesn’t bend to Yousaf’s every syllable then the SNP propaganda machine will just say “Labour ignoring Scotland turbo-lol”.
Yousaf has also called Scottish Labour “traitors”. Tell me why Labour should be magnanimous in return.
given what yousaf and the SNP have been saying recently about labour, basically accusing them of wanting dead babies in gaza, he’s lucky Starmer did not tell him to go fuck himself.
Yousaf literally promoted a disgusting article calling starmer and labour traitors. If you were starmer would you agree to meet this colossal cunt?
also, why would starmer lower himself to this? Yousaf is not his equal. Flynn is the person who starmer should deal with at this stage, being the SNP leader in WM.
But more importantly, the SNP cant be trusted, and starmer wants to avoid the stupid political game the SNP played with miliband, playing up a coalition so that the tories could hammer them with the idea he was in salmond’s pocket (quite literally that was the image used on political ads). Starmer is smarter and more politically savvy than that.
So SNP fully just trying to trap and trick Labour to win votes at the next election. That’s there only tactic
Well, I wouldn’t meet someone who called me and my team traitors in a cynical ploy either.
“Vote NO to lead, not leave” they said
Maybe if he calls Kier Starmer a traitor and complicit in child deaths again he’ll wanna be friends?

A no-win scenario for Keir there
Why would Yousaf want to meet a “traitor”?

Starmer is a tory cunt!
Starmer is probably a zionist.
Why should he have to?
