Slightly…The Regional Branch Officer will say something until he is told otherwise by his paymasters in London.
I dont think there’s any question who Scottish MPs and MSPs report to, its the suit in London.
Scottish issues don’t matter to Labour. When did Starmer ever speak up on Scottish issues outside of using it to attack independence or devolution? He won’t, because he only cares about getting the votes of 55 million people down south.
When he talks about migration , he talks about boats of asylum seekers landing on the coast of Kent and lowering migration with no mention on how Scotland actually needs migrants.
What about the impact of second home ownership and airbnb on rural communities or those in tourist hotspots?
What about discussing why it’s fair that someone in London doing the same job as someone in Edinburgh receives a government enforced premium on their wages because they choose to live in London?
What about devolving more economic powers to the Scottish government to make this a more inticising place to invest outside London?
He’s useless. Might as well elect David Cameron again for all the difference it makes.
Anyone that votes labour has no right to complain about any changes made that are detrimental to their lives.
And this is why Labour can’t be trusted in Scotland. They don’t answer to Scotland. They answer to Westminster and always have.
Labour winning can be quite bad for Scotland. Don’t get me wrong, I will never support Conservative, but I don’t see current Labour as left-wing.
At the moment the Tories are terrible for the UK, but at least in Scotland we have the SNP doing the opposition. The worse thing that can happen to use is Labour in Westminster and Labour in Scotland. As the tweet says, a lot of the things we have in Scotland will be cut down, and policies all around the UK will be “harmonised”.
I see Labour Vs Tori, as what we would say in my original country “what do you prefer, dick or fist”.
It’s all so depressing. The SNP are a spent force and while I love a lot of the spending choices they have made around bedroom tax, free education, 2 child limit etc I don’t think they have demonstrated that they can delivery on more complex or long term plans like upgrading the A9, Our Nat5 and Highers, economic growth etc. if I thought they could turn it around they would have my vote tomorrow but they are trapped in a cycle of petty corruptions and scandals and need some time to step back and renew.
