forever_blue Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 As much as I have said my word on this thread , she is spot on about labour , the snps rise in Scotland at present can go two ways for labour , either a slow lingering death or gradually reforming itself to something of is original value Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mistake I think Scottish labour are actually making is not working with the snp on certain issues , for now it is their only chance of regaining popularity in Scotland and winning back voters , they will obviously never side with the Tories as that would be the nail in the coffin but right now they are floating about in a hopeless no mans land looking like they are short of ideas on how to actually move forward as a party , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have no raison d'etre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no point to them whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 ^^^This. There are many old dinosaur MP's with years or even decades of political experience than Mhairi who could only dream of being able to deliver a speech like that. Trying to imagine myself or anyone I know having to do that 3 year ago when we were 20, not a chance... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's very few in the HoC would could deliver anything near as powerful as that, and fewer that would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strichener Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I wonder where she obtained the life experience from to make such a mature and direct speech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Labour will be blaming her for stealing their ideas while arguing amongst themselves about which of the Tory welfare cuts to oppose, if any, so as to not frighten off the middle classes.

forever_blue Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Don't forget the Scotland top and Crate. I still think the most bizzare thing I have ever witnessed and probably ever will witness from a political point of view was jim murphy and a Fully cross dressed eddy Izzard just appearing for some reason , entering st Enoch square and being shouted at by some angry nationalists , then followed by jim giving a speech whilst eddy stands behind him in the most unconvincing drag costume ever ,It really was one of those WTF is this all about moments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
