yoda Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Danny Alexander put another flyer through the letterbox today (well, the postie did, not Alexander himself although he is having a surgery in ASDA today). He's changed from "dreadful old woman magazine" style to "terrible local paper" style. Every single issue (bar one, which relates to high speed broadband) in it relates to a devolved power: NHS Highland underfunded; A96 duelling; something else that is controlled by Holyrood.

So do Asda do surgeries in store? Health service privatation gone mad.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoda Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Horse racing on the back page by any chance? "It's a two horse race..." That's on the front page! I'm not convinced that giving voters a choice between the Lib Dems and the SNP will swing the "floating voter" tbh. I'm not even sure it will swing the majority of remaining Labour voters.

Nae photos of him standing side-by-side with the Tories during the referendum campaign. It's almost as if he wants the voters to forget that he did that!

Is JM trying to disassociate himself from the HQ in London? Meanwhile, Jim, keep up the negativity...

I'm not convinced that giving voters a choice between the Lib Dems and the SNP will swing the "floating voter" tbh. I'm not even sure it will swing the majority of remaining Labour voters. The Lib Dems are trying similar in Aberdeenshire and I know a couple of folk who are going to vote SNP now instead of LD because they presumed they'd have to vote LD to keep the Tories out until the LD campaign informed them otherwise.

Mr Rational Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Oh yeah, final post. You really need to see AKs missus winning the by election, the result is on YouTube (I'm on the phone otherwise I would link it myself). Labour walked out once it was announced. Sour grapes make an affy whine as my Granny would say ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YassinMoutaouakil Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Not sure why Scottish Labour email me, but I enjoy it immensely. Hi Jamie my name is David Cameron. I'm launching a fundraising campaign for Scottish Labour today and I need your help. Read on... The good news: I'm not currently prime minister of the United Kingdom. I'm actually a Scottish Labour member from Glasgow. The better news: I'm doing all I can to kick my namesake out of Number 10, and I think it'd be really funny if David Cameron (me) helped Labour raise £24,000 in the next 24 hours to get rid of David Cameron (prime minister). I think I'll call it "David Cameron's £24k for Labour (in 24 hours) Challenge." Can you chip in a few quid to help hit our target? Whatever you can afford it only takes two minutes to donate Ok, Dave, not the Prime Minister. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sour grapes make an affy whine as my Granny would say To be fair, one of the Labour councillors did actually stay behind and shake her hand.

Quentin Taranbino Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Another belting article from the Daily Mail comparing Sturgeon to Putin. Once again the comments section is the best!

As Farquharson says however: ...People still respond to politicians who are seen to be making a difference – or at least making a noise about making a difference – on tangible aspects of the lives they live in their own neighbourhoods and towns. Labour has long sneered at the pavement politics of the Liberal Democrats. Why bother about dog fouling and potholes and wheelie-bins when you could be wresting with geopolitics and the class struggle? Well, they ken noo. Old-school local advocacy may now be Scottish Labour MPs’ only lifeline to political survival. But there’s a catch. This will only work for those MPs who are personally respected in their constituencies, who are already engaged with the communities they represent and are already known and admired for fighting for the people they represent. How can I put this delicately? Not every Scottish Labour MP can legitimately claim to fit this bill... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
