SANTAN Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 5 minutes ago, Colkitto said: People like Sarwar, Baillie and Murray believe if Labour revert back to new Labour then everyone will flock back to voting for them again. They want to get away from the Corbyn image just like Starmer is trying to do in England and be more like Tony Blair Labour. Labour in Scotland will do the same except they will throw a couple of new, irrelevant powers to the Scottish parliament and claim it's devo max super plus. Would certainly be a better strat that than what they've been doing the past 5-10 years. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They take over from the Tories in 2nd place? They avoid single digit polling? Going all Tony Blair new Labour is not going to save them.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Labour is finished in Scotland. This is neither new or insightful, nonetheless it merits repetition. Like saying all Tories are cûnts. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Jackie Baillie. The Tommy Craig of Scottish Labour. Is trusted to be an assistant. Gets occasional stand in gigs. But you know it's a disaster whenever they are likely to get the job permanently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not beyond the realms of possibility they could finish 4th. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a long journey ahead of they're to come back to any sort of relevance in Scotland and this would be a decent start imo. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a lovely intro for the new leader. And in a couple of years when Anus resigns and fatty Baillie takes over they’ll finish behind the monster raving loonies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Read what Stormzy actually said. We need to get back to guitar-playing Labour leaders. Here's Tony rocking with his Fender Strat It might have been better if he had plugged it into an amplifier, though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingTON Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Surely manoeuvering to get a caretaker diddy to take the inevitable bleaching in May and then taking over pledging (non-existent) change is the smart play for anyone interested in the job. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tend to agree but maybe the May election could be seen as a free swing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
