Wee Willie Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 33 minutes ago, Fide said: It gets worse. Someone needs to take Scottish Labour up ae road, they're drunk. Election 2017: Scottish Labour to set out pro-UK manifestohttp://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-39991248 …Scottish Labour's manifesto will also include a series of pledges aimed at delivering "transformative change" in Scotland. These include commitments to bring forward Member's Bills on banning MSPs from holding paid second jobs, extending breakfast clubs into every primary school, banning onshore fracking, improving access to sanitary products to tackle "period poverty" and scrapping the Offensive Behaviour at Football Act. Scottish Labour won one Scottish seat in the 2015 General Election. Labour's UK manifesto also confirmed it opposed an independence referendum. ______________________ And neither mention reforming the HoL, that holiday home for ousted Labour & Tory MPs. Edit: Am I reading that manifesto correctly? In a UK wide election, Scottish Labour (in Westminster) will bring forward a Bill banning MSPs (in Holyrood) from holding a second (paying) job. Nothing about MPs doing the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's getting as bad as Trump. Like Trump she has also resorted to throwing around the "Fake" accustaion whenever people say things she doesn't like Quote But since my manifesto was published, the proposals have been subject to fake claims made by Jeremy Corbyn. The only things he has left to offer in this campaign are fake claims, fear and scare mongering. So I want to make a further point clear. This manifesto says that we will come forward with a consultation paper, a government green paper. And that consultation will include an absolute limit on the amount people have to pay for their care costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Theresa May is an incompetent arse hole who is going to be eaten alive by Barnier and the Eu negotiation team. Pleasing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Strong. And. Stable. Anyone even half paying attention should see what a clusterfuck we'll be left with if the Tories return a majority. Of course, nationalists are nationalists, and they'll just vote for them regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crossbill Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 I'm struggling to think of a more inappropriate use of the phrase 'Strong and Stable' than May's leadership. I've seen stronger and stabler trifles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sloop John B Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Theresa May's decision to make this election a battle of personalities between herself and Corbyn has gone hilariously bad. She's backtracked over Brexit, National Insurance, and now this. If she is struggling to beat a party that is fully gripped by civil war, then how is she going to deal with a 27 nation trading block? I expect she'll be reaching for the dog-whistle racism at some point this week to stem the tide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary Bear Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Oh, Scottish Labour. There's so much wrong with this I don't know where to begin. That'll just confuse your average punters who catch a fleeting glimpse of it. The most eye-catching things are Wee Nic and Vote Conservative. Confusing.

Scary Bear Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Putting 'Don't risk it' next to 'Vote Labour' isn't the smartest design either. The Labour Party appear to have a real dearth of talent in Scotland. The ones who aren't bitter cranks would be as well turning the lights off and joining the SNP or even the Greens.
