Jambomo Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-50146805This would be a very odd move by Unite if they deselect Murray. I know he criticises Corbyn but he votes as the party wishes and I can’t see that he’s done much wrong.Used to live in the area and I think that Murray wins it because he’s a good MP for the area, rather than it being a Labour constituency. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is a vote on him it will be by his CLP members. Unite don't have local branches. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he does appear to have a strong cult following. I never voted for him as I tend to vote SNP, but outside the matter of independence, he pretty much seems to vote along the same lines as the SNP do and so generally I never had much of an issue with him being our MP. He is quite visible in the area and we did have occasion to get in touch with him and he was quick to respond and he was pretty helpful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted October 23, 2019 Author Share Posted October 23, 2019 The vox pops that the various news channels have shown during the Brexit debacle are utterly depressing. They highlight people’s complete lack of understanding of the issues. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo Khaki Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 (edited) Not trying to be contrarian, because the assessor has obviously acted like a complete and utter shit, but I wouldn't be surprised at all if the guy himself is another victim of the whole WCA shambles. It must be really hard to hold it together long-term when you're one of the instruments tasked with administering it. Sounds to me like the guy has totally flipped his lid in sheer frustration. You can always say he should have left his job ages ago if that's the case, but that's not always easy if you're in the grip of despair and have a mortgage to pay. Poor woman and her family though. Guy is obviously for the high jump, but I don't think this is as remotely simple as 'rogue, arsehole WCA bod' Edit - Ah hold on, Capita employee. I take it all back.

Granny Danger Posted October 27, 2019 Author Share Posted October 27, 2019 I hope Bercow reconsiders his resignation. His replacement, whoever it is, will be far more sympathetic towards the government. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fifer Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 That'll be the Fire service getting scapegoated for Grenfell tower this morning, with the ever mild mannered Daily Mail questioning if charges should be brought against them. Vile. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you imagine the stick they'd have got if they ignored standard practice and sent the residents out to burn on the stairways instead of staying safely in their flats, as would be the case if they weren't living in a big firework? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
