What is the point of labour ?

[Benjamin_Nevis]

I know Labour voters are gullible simpletons, but fucking hell surely none of them believe a leader with the title "Sir" is going to do anything about people called "Lord" and "Lady" 

Perhaps he could set a shining example of his disdain for the honours system by relinquishing his Knighthood?

Indeed, and I see that one of the big ideas is the transfer of civil servants from London to Scotland.  Just what we need here, folk already in jobs further hiking the house prices in Edinburgh, Stirling, Perth and Inverness.

Or is Broon actually suggesting Scottish jobs for Scottish people ?

Aye, this all just has the smell of "tell them whatever we think will capture another 10% or something".

I was going to say that they must think we are dense.........................but then again why not try it again, there were plenty of people last time who said that all sounded quite reasonable.

And as @Benjamin_Nevis points out, not many commentators have pissed themselves laughing as much as I have at the thought of a Knight of the Realm looking to abolish The Lords...............its like some crazed Netflix drama

Hang on, I thought the vow was already delivered. Aren't we as close to home rule as possible within a union? Labour first promised to abolish the house of lords 100years ago so surely that's been done aswell?

I'm sure @Jedi will be right along with some cut and paste pish from a party conference to confirm the above

In my experience Scots are disproportionately represented in the civil service and there would probably be a good number jumping at the chance to move home, if that satisfies your parochial xenophobia.

Labour banging on about constitutional change when they should be getting on with day job.

It's just a cynical tactic to deflect from their terrible record in Wales by continuing to bang on about Brown's constitutional obsession.

And what exactly has hitherto been stopping them moving back to Scotland if they are so minded ?  Interesting too that you reference the word 'home' in relation to Scotland yet accuse me of 'parochial xenophobia'.

How are we going to put power back into the hands of the people? By ignoring them.

After 2014 anyone listening to a word Gordon Brown says must zip up the back.

History will judge him.

After 2014, the Scottish Electorate has already had its say on these snakes.

Bit of a redder for them attempting to tell us "whats good for us" when they only have one feckin MP up here, who is sadly my MP.

Mrs LG quite likes Murray, as he does "good local work" - this is a bone of contention in our house, especially when I use the phrase "Unionist gammon lickspittle w****r" when referring to him.

(appreciate you may disagree given his football affiliation.......)

Not a single elected representative from Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland.

And a huge lol at the bottom 2.

I suppose they will go with the line that Broon and Dodds are Scottish (but your point is valid).

Starmer said on R4 today that being part of the Single Market would not boost the UK economic growth.

No credible economist agrees with this, its just a big fat lie in order that the thick racists in old Red Wall Brexitland that went conservative in 2019 vote Labour next time.

Why is Gordon brown still seen as being relevant? He should be in a retirement home where he can explain to the carers that his vision of the UK is what's best and that he was once prime minister you know.

I'd like to be able to vote for labour but as long as they treat Scotland like this they'll get nowt from me.

He’s claimed in the media to still be relevant to the thick, tribal Scots - the qualifier is usually made (or was in 2014) that our wiser neighbours had seen through him.
