Salt n Vinegar Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 In a fairly strong field, Jack's performance today is one of the worst I have seen. He was pretty poor when reading out his own speech, but his performance in dealing with questions has been utterly dire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salt n Vinegar Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 SNP doing a sneaky and asking the Speaker to allow an ugent debate on the Government's action. Speaker has granted it. Will happen after a 10 minute rule bill on market traders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tories really are absolute scum of the earth and dangerously thick as mince into the bargain. This is an absolute outrage man, the whole thing.

"Single sex clubs" WTAF ! I cannot believe (well actually I can) that an MP never mind a cabinet minister would stand in parliament and cite issues with "single sex clubs" as a reason for putting the kybosh on this bill. I presume by Single sex clubs he means the all male private members bastions the Tories love to frequent. Utter wasters and frauds the lot of them and this most thinly veiled prejudice you will ever see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's clear, concise, articulate, and with none of the wind or bluster Blackford is prone to. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O'Kelly Isley III Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 It's important that Scottish voters pay attention to the latest Labour shitebaggery, and it's even more important that anyone up here considering voting for them in the hope of any positive change abandons that notion pronto. On every meaningful issue Starmer has positioned them as UK establishment lapdogs. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Khaki Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 (edited) What's going on with Starmer re Scottish Labour is just a repeat of exactly what publicly happened to Jack McConnel, Wendy Alexander, Johann Lamont, and no doubt every other Scottish Labour behind the scenes. The idea that a Scottish Labour leader actually has any degree of autonomy or authority is, and always has been, complete nonsense.

Sadly, that situation exactly mirrors the democratic deficit the Union is imposing on the Scottish people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeTillEhDeh Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 (edited) They're trotting out the "grievance politics" line which needs to be fucking challenged for the rampant pish it is. The only people playing grievance politics here are the Tories and the UK Labour leadership. Murray and Jack showing yet again when it comes to Scotland they put political sectarianism first, second and third. Utter fucking scum.

Boo Khaki Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Kirsten Oswald is mistaken. It's not a 'mystery' why the Tories are stepping in now, she just can't spell it out without being asked to leave the chamber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop playing by the unwritten boys club rules and disrupt at every opportunity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Khaki Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Why is it invariably 'legitimate' concerns, or 'genuine' concerns, over just 'concerns'? I mean, there's nothing about the word 'concerns' itself that implies that used on it's own it signifies the utterer is being less than sincere. It's almost as if they are trying too hard.
