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 Sunak announces the date of his defeat, Private Eye hits the nail on the head again.

Will a Labour Party that has vowed to continue Tory spending plans and regressive policies improve matters? Can't see it.

Oh dear, oh dear...

How Labour have fallen. Compelled to counter claims that Labour would welcome Farage into the party... And you thought Tony Blair was right-wing?!

SNP lurches to the right with Swinney and Forbes combo. Sad day for progressive policies. Leaves the door open for The British Labour Party in Scotland.

There are a few more, all of a similar ilk; everything will be "watered down" to meaninglessness, but it's difficult to build an alternative with the political capture of most social media spaces after the rise of Corbynism; they're not going to let economic left wing sentiments build in the same way again.

https://www.thenational.scot/news/24240459.labour-deny-report-stating-rejoin-eu-customs-union/

It comes after a paper from political consultancy Eurasia Group cited “senior Labour insiders” as saying the party would seek to revive a high-alignment deal in a bid to boost economic growth, according to the Financial Times.

Rachel Reeves demonstrates her fiscal acumen by trying to balance the books with nothing in either hand to work with. I suppose she could fairly tax the rich but her boss wouldn't like that would he? 🤔

If voters actually get off their arses this time around do we view it as a protest vote or a vote for actual change? With incoming in englandshire, and probably Wales, it's just going to be more of the same isn't it? All the more important then that remains front and centre in Scotland. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

An SNP MP has said that “rats and sinking ships spring to mind” after it was reported that Tory advisers are ditching Rishi Sunak for Keir Starmer.

The names include a host of the morons whose advice has proven so useful to the Tories for the last 14 years.

Same old, same old.

Diane Abbot on the money.

Starmer's love-in with Thatcher and even Boris Johson will cost him in Scotland. He'll no doubt cement this by refusing to grant .
