Kirstene wants "the right kind of workers, ones with a lot of farming experience, and won't wreck all the expensive equipment", but for the £5 odds pay grade. She made these comments on the radio 4 farming programme, so should be available for a listen

She wants people with more experience to get paid less. Who the f**k voted for her?

It's against the Labour Party constitution to vote for rival candidates. If anyone has done that they should be chucked out of the party.

Yer lump o wid in charge encouraged yoons to vote Tory.

Labour are non-existent in Angus. Their candidate was a Councillor from Dunfermline who did next to no campaigning or leafletting.

Tories in Angus built their entire campaign around "no to a second referendum" and unfortunately a rural population rammed full of farm types and pensioners swallowed it [emoji38]

A couple of local fruit farmers who had Hair's billboards in their fields have recently been raising concerns over post-brexit labour and costs. What a wee shame. Thick c***s [emoji38]

I still can't believe she was thick enough to admit she didn't vote in the EU ref because it was "too difficult", doing nothing at all to allay the perception that she's a trust fund bimbo [emoji38]

Sorry, you're right, I'll rephrase that. British labour in Scotland supporters, who are anti SNP, who will vote against their so called socialist principles to protect their precious union of "equals". That's who. Not getting at you jmo, we all know what your views are on here.

Any Labour member who would prefer a Tory MP to an SNP one is in the wrong party.

So pretty much the whole of "Scottish Labour" then.

[John Lambies Doos]

So pretty much the whole of "British Labour, Scottish Branch" then.

Worth having a laugh at the Maybot's speech on BBC2 just now.

So far a protestor has managed to hand her a p45 and she's spent half the speech coughing and spluttering. A total shambles [emoji38]

I live in the Ochil constituency. I now have a Tory MP based in England. The reason for this is that British labour in Scotland put up a joke candidate in the general election. They did this to remove Tasmina Ahmed Sheikh. The candidate the labour party put up used to work beside my sister in law, who is an apolitical labour voter(pat votes the Scots way), and she was considered a complete zoomer at the place they worked. It was also well known that a pact had been entered into, witnessed by many people at Alloa town hall at least a fortnight before the election. All this was about SNPbad, no working for the electorate, no speaking for Scotland at Westminster, it was God bless the union and vote tory, as proposed by kezia dugdale

It sounds like she's going to burst into her reptile form at any moment.

She looked as though she was going to burt out greeting, strong and stable mabel indeed. Think her numbers up, they are giving sympathy applause and trying not to look at her.

I live in Ayr and for the first time ever was not doorstepped by Labour during the campaign and there was no Labour representative at the local polling station on the day. I don't know enough to say Labour put up a joke candidate but there is little doubt in my mind that she was a "sleeper".

Jmo launching a crusade on the intolerant left moments after saying everyone was acting offended by the (TORY) foreign sec cracking jokes about the widespread devastation partially caused by Britain in Libya. [emoji23]

In politics there are folk who want certain jobs even in the knowledge that they're not suitable.

May and Boris are two good examples.  Trump and Corbyn are examples of insufficient self awareness to know how unsuited they are.  Don't know what's worse tbh.

Perth and north Perthshire's Tory candidate spun a lot of fake stories making him out to be a bit of a saint, wouldn't campaign outwith Blairgowrie and that area. Instead choosing to send 3 leaflets a day to every household in Perth. Turns out he spent twice as much as Wishart, and still failed to beat one of the weakest SNP MP's.
