Realistically after the utter contempt Labour have shown to this entire country for decades my comments were mild. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Wow you were a fully paid up member of 'Scottish' Labour only nine months ago?

Yeah, what we really should be doing is going after people who leave the Labour party. Go back where you came from, our side's full up buddy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read the bit in bold over and over, but I still have no grasp of the concept, I'm afraid. Much like Scottish Labour, amirite? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Khaki Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Praying for a Sarwar win just for the ensuing hilarity. The man is a complete and utter simpleton. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's also said she wants ScotLab to be independent (sic) of the party down south, should she make this the focus of her campaign? I'd say yes but then I'm unlikely to vote Labour this side of Independence. Edited January 18, 2021 by btb 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 1 hour ago, MixuFruit said: She's successfully brought about a law change that benefits women and she's extremely hostile to the dinosaurs in the party. If she was leader she would set about purging them and making the party attractive to young people. It would not earn her any friends but it would be a good thing for the leader of a party with no immediate hopes of power to do. I was going for the "So long since they had one, it's hard to imagine what it would look like" joke... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonS Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 So far Lennon has the support of two MSPs - one of them notably being Neil Findlay - while Sarwar has the backing of 11 MSPs and the MP. You need 4 nominations from MSPs or MPs to stand, so Lennon might not even make it to the ballot papers. I suspect a couple of other MSPs will nominate her, if only to create a contest and avoid a coronation that I doubt even Sarwar wants.

madwullie Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 I'd never vote for her, but TBF Monica Lennon is very visible on our local Facebook group and on more than one occasion had stepped in to personally sort out issues people have had. Recently, during the snow, a young single mother was without heating in a council flat and slc were being fucking arseholes about it. ML sorted it within half a day. I was pretty impressed tbh 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon EF Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 (edited) The problem with the people who decide the Labour leadership is that they simultaneously only consider how 'electable' the public will find each candidate and have no fucking feel for what the public think... at all.

Detournement Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Gordon Brown made the BoE independent of the Treasury, Dodds wants to make the Treasury independent of the Government. Genuinely unbelievably that their big idea is handing fiscal policy to right wing classical economists. Must have got the idea from the SNP's Growth Commission. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon EF Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Not that that I've seen an enormous amount of Annalise Dodds but everything I've seen of her elicits a pretty resounding "meh". Truly the Starmerites Starmerite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
