Most of the latest "pledges" from relate to England only, just as his latest speech didn't mention NI, Scotland or Wales once.

No matter: Starmer will renege on them within days.

It’s time to end the UK’s divisions: Labour is for everyone

Right on Keir. Your primary thoughts seem to be ending divisions by centralising power in Westminster and denying process and control to the other three countries in this ‘so precious Union’ - one that is long past its use by date.

You don't care about or even care to represent Scottish interests - what is nonsense really about?

Right on Keir!

Only you're ending "division" by blocking the mandates of a majority of Scots for "forever" while offering no real alternative to rancid Thatcherism and refusing to say under which circumstances Scots might democratically disengage from your "voluntary union".

You can shove all of that up your hoop.

There is some irony at listening to Starmer urging an election to "Let the people decide", the same Starmer who does not recognise Scotland's right to have a referendum to "Let the people decide". Yes, indeed, we had one in 2014 but materially, the UK has changed. We have elections every five years yet Scotland is continually denied democracy by, in effect, a foreign country, England. Is the union voluntary, yes it is, how then does Scotland leave ?

It's also humiliating because Starmer's on record as supporting the right to prior to the last Holyrood election and then subsequently stating he would never support it.

The presumption, contempt and bare faced mendacity are off the scale.

Why anybody in their right mind would still trust beggars belief.

"Sarwar and his deputy Jackie Baillie had photographs of themselves with “plastered all over social media” - making their abstention “just criminal, really”."

The National: "Labour MSPs believe UK bosses ordered vote abstention."
