DeeTillEhDeh Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 (edited) Quite funny on Michael Marra's Twitter feed where he tried to have a go about the event Yousaf was at today - and made an arse of himself- as usual. He's forgets that the last time Labour ran Scotland they built a grand total of 6 houses in the whole of Scotland in one year and managed a whole 340 in their entire term.

sparky88 Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 This seems an extraordinary thing to say, but Ash Regan's decision to defect to Alba looks like a masterstroke. She should end up with far more influence on the Scottish Government this time next week than she ever did in the Cabinet 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But 20 years old. And in the intervening time the incumbents have managed to muck up the private rented sector for both landlords and tenants while at the same time denuding Councils of any money to deal with housing, preferring to channel it to Housing Associations who don’t build fast enough.

They’ve done nothing to “muck up the private rental sector for landlords”, and if they had it would have been exactly what landlords deserved. The rent freeze didn’t go far enough and it’s now ended with little chance of being reintroduced anytime soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a bit of an oxymoron to say they’ve done nothing but at the same time given landlords what they deserved, but I’ll take it at face value for now. Can you show me your workings to back up your assertions please? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diegomarahenry Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 If the SNP get through the two votes with no casualties, all they have to do is propose a couple of credible, popular policies that have to go to a vote in the chamber. If they get through, it sends a signal that they are still a capable government. What is more likely, Sarwar will be so thick, he’ll block it, making him look like he’s siding with Conservatives. The Conservatives will block it because they have no credibility and nothing to lose anyway. Surviving with no casualties and coming up with sensible policies may be the biggest challenge to that plan. Ross being a dick and Sarwar being dense as f**k are a given. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jedi2 Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 The Humza will no doubt be scrabbling around now trying to offer the Greens a 'deal'...result will be the Greens doing a complete U-turn and abstaining next week..making Ash Regan utterly irrelevant. Meanwhile Yousaf will go on without a coalition with the Greens but still beholden to them to promote their 'policies'. -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KirkieRR Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Rum to see Alba potentially having such power here. Their poll standing remains flattening just above zero.

A good indicator of someone's value to independence is how many staunch Unionists proclaim "I don't agree with their politics, but I have a lot of time for <x>". It seems to be the equivalent of P&B being delighted by the idea of Liz Truss becoming Prime Minister. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
