Sunak airbrushed from launch of Scottish Tories’ general election campaign

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/live/2024/may/28/tories-triple-lock-plus-planned-tax-cut-pensioners-labour-rishi-sunak-general-election

Douglas Ross barely mentions Westminster or Conservative policies and does not say PM’s name in speech kicking off campaign

I am surprised they are allowing Ross to show his face quite frankly.

The Tories don't dare feature Sunak in their campaign materials ... Just as (AKA The Great Progressive Socialist) has airbrushed the union flag from election materials in Scotland.

There are limits to his patriotism it seems.... Sir Keir is truly the !

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…

"Stephen Flynn has branded Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar a “sleekit salesman” after he admitted his family firm does not pay workers the real living wage.

"On Sunday, Sarwar was forced to concede that his own family’s business does not pay salaries which match the level Labour claims will “lift people out of poverty” as part of their “New Deal for Working People”."

"Sarwar relinquished his own shares in the family business – United Wholesale (Scotland) – in 2017. They were reported to be worth around £4.8 million.

"In late 2017, Sarwar claimed he'd received assurances from the company that it "wants to transition to a real living wage for all employees"."

Seven years and counting Anas.

There's "Change" for you!

The problem with Labour winning the UK general election in five weeks time is that it means another 5 years of conservative government.

Wes Streeting: Cultural rot means NHS puts itself before the public

NO. If you means some managers in a ‘reformed system’, instigated by the Tories and pushed hard by Labour maybe. What will increased privatisation do?

@Wen

You can always rely on Sneering Streeting to undermine the NHS with a vacuous sound bite. That’s how he’ll manage his brief in England.

UK Labour in Scotland is no more than an . Just ask the Electoral Commission.

It's a cost centre, a branch office under the complete control of London with a naff logo and the union flag removed from its campaign materials.

Top picture: Starmer campaigning in England with the union flag motif all over campaign materials.

Bottom picture - Starmer campaigning in Scotland and not a union flag in sight....

Sadiq Khan's Scottish Nationalism Comments Are As Frustrating As They Are Offensive

https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/jonathan-rimmer/sadiq-khan-scottish-labour_b_15012092.html

It's disappointing yet unsurprising. Three years on from the independence referendum, Labour politicians are still painting their lost Scottish voters as gullible sheep beguiled by divisive nationalism.

Just a reminder….

Sadiq has form. He's irrelevant in Scotland and best ignored.

We've just been tailgated by this moron at the speed limit on a busy dual carriageway with no chance of getting out of his way.

His dangerous illegal driving doesn't say much for the company he works for, does it?

I've done that before and got nowhere, didn't report that incident to the police either.

They apologised but it wasn't convincing. I was travelling north on the M6 and decided to forget it after that.

We should be under no illusions in Scotland about the only party being targeted by the unionists.

The Better Together gang is back with a tsunami of anti-SNP slurry across all media.

Streeting has let the cat out the bag.

at Holyrood and in the "Scottish" media is relentless.

Remember Streeting's admission when sneaks into Scotland today to attack the Scottish Government’s record on NHS Scotland and other devolved areas.



MadeyeTheCarnaptious,
@MadeyeTheCarnaptious@mastodon.scot avatar

When Wes Streeting admits Westminster has an impact on devolved public healthcare, he is confirming he could impose his NHS privatisation measures for England on the devolved systems of NI, Scotland and Wales.

Against the wishes of devolved parliaments and assemblies.

Stand by for the big blue tent camper van time bomb to go off at a key moment in the campaign.

Watch the polls in .

And so it begins: 🇬🇧 GE campaign Day 1.

"In a statement on Thursday afternoon, Police Scotland said... a report had been sent "in relation to a 59-year-old man who was charged on 18 April 2024".

"They added that the investigation dubbed "Operation Branchform" had not yet come to an end.

"... a spokesperson for the COPFS said... investigations into two others, a 72-year-old man and a 53-year-old woman, remain ongoing."

How very convenient.
