It's not a bad effort but this is the equivalent of me playing pool after half a pint. I reckon you're at least another seven gins away from your posting sweet spot. Looking forward to waking up tomorrow and reading your 3am patter (maybe a wee DPRS reference for old times sake) - mind drink plenty of water too!

I went through a phase of getting the first BMI flight of the day from EDI to LHR on a Monday and often shared the forward seats with Alistair Darling and Tam 'Dyell'. His craven 'Any chance' requests to share Darling's ministerial car from the airport would have embarrassed anyone, farless the scion of 'Tam o' the Binns'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trogdor Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 (edited) Just heard Jim Murphy on Radio 4. He's obviously been reading this thread as he's parroting some attack lines. Apparently Kate Forbes wouldn't be out of place on the right side of the Conservative party. He also suggested she was the most right wing candidate to stand for any party (not sure if he meant Scotland or UK). He said he wished Humza all the best for the nation but to make way for Labour as the SNP are ungovernable with a hard right element (given Forbes support). I tell you what Jim, go and get you're Irn Bru crate and take your fantasist shit round the country. An irrelevant bawbag whose electoral legacy was worse than Johann Lamont.

What Jim and many in the Labour Party cannot and will not address is Brexit and Scotlands view on it. To win in the rest of the UK, Starmer needs to make a play for the red wall vote, which means taking up Brexit. That will not play well here and Sarwar will have to find a line to address that, which he has yet to find. Labour's view is that in Scotland, there is a sizable number of Labour votes temporarily sitting with SNP and thet they will eventually return. For a handful, that may be true, but to return, it would need to be markedly distint from the red Tories up here and they are not. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTJohnboy Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Yousaf wouldn't have been my first choice (neither would Forbes or Regan) but he is now our leader and needs to be given a chance. Probably a crap analogy but I often remind myself the late great Jock Stein was by no means a great footballer, but what a manager and what a man he proved to be. A credit to Scotland and an example to us all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheeky c**t, he's a member of the neoconservative Henry Jackson Society and once said his favourite Tory is Ian Duncan Smith, the man who brought us Universal Credit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 14 minutes ago, FreedomFarter said: "...set Libya on a path to a secure, democratic and peaceful future". Supposedly Ed Milliband demoted him from Defence shadow minister to International Development because Murphy kicked up a fuss about Labour not backing sending our boys into Syria. Quote Blairites were angriest at the demotion of Murphy to international development. One moderniser said: "If the narrative is that this is all about competence, it stretches credibility that by coincidence the Labour leader's office has also found Jim incompetent. Quite what Hilary Benn has done to be preserved, I do not know." A more likely problem is that Miliband and Murphy disagreed over Syria and humanitarian intervention. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2013/oct/07/labour-reshuffle-victory-talent-blairites 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo Khaki Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 There were so many moments of unintentional hilarity during the Murphy era that it all kinda blends into one. Peak SLab banter years though. The Irn Bru crate, scenes on the 6pm news of him standing on it and dishing out a speech to absolutely nobody whatsoever, being trolled by a guy on a purple bicycle, Murphy, Izzard, and a 30 strong mob of Labour activists being driven out of Glasgow by no more than 2 or 3 vocal hecklers then trying and failing to blame it on a 'violent mob of nationalists' only for that to be shown for the complete fantasy it was thanks to photographic evidence. Probably many more I've completely forgotten about. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
