BFTD Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 It feels like people have been saying that Sarwar will be their next leader for absolute donkey's years at this point, so I'm surprised to see that he only seems to have run for the leadership once before. That's some list of former leaders, by the way. An inspiring selection. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Surely most of them will want to avoid it at the moment, as none of them want to be at the top when they take a record drubbing in the upcoming election. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People like Sarwar, Baillie and Murray believe if Labour revert back to new Labour then everyone will flock back to voting for them again. They want to get away from the Corbyn image just like Starmer is trying to do in England and be more like Tony Blair Labour. Labour in Scotland will do the same except they will throw a couple of new, irrelevant powers to the Scottish parliament and claim it's devo max super plus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They take over from the Tories in 2nd place? They avoid single digit polling? Going all Tony Blair new Labour is not going to save them.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Labour is finished in Scotland. This is neither new or insightful, nonetheless it merits repetition. Like saying all Tories are cûnts. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Jackie Baillie. The Tommy Craig of Scottish Labour. Is trusted to be an assistant. Gets occasional stand in gigs.

That would be a lovely intro for the new leader. And in a couple of years when Anus resigns and fatty Baillie takes over they’ll finish behind the monster raving loonies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Read what Stormzy actually said. We need to get back to guitar-playing Labour leaders. Here's Tony rocking with his Fender Strat It might have been better if he had plugged it into an amplifier, though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
