🧵 1/2: Hear from the professionals complaining the government has done everything not just to derail but also to keep adding to their costs:
"There isn't a single route that we run that we can do end-to-end on traction" (yes, they use trains, ever smelt those?) and " access charge has increased by 140% since 2010" (oh, the year the came to power!) .
I cannot overstate how "third world" this is looking...

🧵 2/2: what saddens me is not so much that the always went about doing what they are best known for (destroying , emptying coffers for private gains), but that 's have already walked away from their pledge and routinely insist that any social or policy with a backbone are "not grown-up policies". Sure, keep being condescent to your electorate, great tactics! https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2024/feb/08/labour-cuts-28bn-green-investment-pledge-by-half

The SNP’s woes are a boost for Starmer. But he’s not promising the change Scotland wants

Anyone in Scotland who thinks that voting Labour will benefit Scotland really needs to take a hard look at themselves and the party.

Anas Sarwar of Labour in Scotland has become a millionaire of the back of his family company not paying its workers the Living Wage.

He's now severed his links to the firm but has transferred nearly £5m worth of shares into a trust fund for his own kids.

I'm not sure that making his own kids into millionaires at the cost to his workers paid a pittance is much of a moral highground.

As the continues to attack and murder defenceless Palestinians in , ignoring the International Court of Justice, what response can we expect from Starmer?

What would Starmer be saying / doing now if he were Prime Minister?

Would be on the side of the or the IDF? Would he just go into hiding as usual, leaving Lammy to address the issue with weasel words in The Daily Mail?

Labour activists in Jeremy Corbyn’s constituency have accused the national party of an “egregiously undemocratic selection process” after it chose a candidate without consulting the local branch.

Photo titled Praful Nargund founded a chain of IVF clinics with his mother, Geeta. He was anointed without even meeting the local Labour branch, activists said.

Watch Scotland folks…

@Wen I'm increasingly worried about the prospect of a disUK government led by and his cabal. He's totally abandoned the left.

My hope is that the majority of voters in continue to support the who have by and large been a leftwing force for good in this country. I fear that significant Labour GE gains here would be catastrophic for devolution and for Scotland in general.

Whatever your views on independence, vote for your country, not England.
