Granny Danger Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 So tuition fees will stay in England under Starmer. It’s an interesting strategy, vote for us as we’re not going to do any of the things we promised. https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/keir-starmer-indicates-he-will-ditch-leadership-pledge-to-scrap-tuition-fees_uk_63c3b84de4b0cbfd55f3c7e3 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 tl,dr: Keef is a Tory c**t says Sturgeon. Sturgeon accuses Starmer of being 'pale imitation' of Tories and calls his NHS plans 'dispiriting' At her news conference, asked about Keir Starmer’s claim that the SNP and the Tories are both exploiting the gender recognition bill for partisan advantage (see 10.22am), Nicola Sturgeon said that this had only become a constitutional issue because Westminster was refusing to accept the right of the Scottish parliament to legislate on a matter within its own competence. She went on: “So, if anybody is trying to use it politically, it’s those Westminster politicians.” She pointed out that most Labour MSPs voted for the bill. And she said the Scottish government accepted an amendment, from Labour, saying the bill would not affect the Equality Act. So Starmer needed to understand this was not just an SNP bill, she said; it was legislation backed by a large number of MSPs. Sturgeon also said that she found Starmer’s comments on the NHS in his interview with Laura Kuenssberg yesterday “pretty dispiriting”. She claimed that some of what he was saying was “quite dangerous”, because he implied people with serious conditions should not consult their GP, or should bypass their GP. She said Starmer may have intended to say something different. And she said Starmer should be committing to invest more in the NHS, and to reverse Brexit, to address the staffing problem in the health service. She went on: Keir Stamer needs to stop trying to be a pale imitation of the Tory government he’s seeking to replace, and actually start offering some positive alternative. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t worry Jedi* will be on to reassure us all that Keith HAD to say all that to fool the electorate and things will be completely different if the get the keys to number 10, he will also set us right that in fact it’s Sturgeon & the Natzis who really want to privatise parts of the NHS. Personally I don’t think Nicola has gone far enough, current Labour are more than a pale imitation it Tories, they are Tories! *no he won’t he’s either banned or slinked off when the truth became clear. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Wolf Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 As I'm trying to eradicate the c word from my vocabulary I have literally nothing to say about Starmy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leith Green Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 (edited) Anyone else think its more than a coincidence that Starmer is "onside" with Rishi regarding gender reform in Scotland (despite his MSPs stance), while looking for Sunak to "work with" Starmer and Labour in order to make the best of the Brexit shambles and blindside the ERG? Maybe just me - I will look out my tinfoil hat.......................... Edited January 16, 2023 by Leith Green 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any SLAB MPs and MSPs with any scruples have long since defected. What remains are a group of spineless simpletons who will do exactly what they're told to do by head office. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's all very well but we're only talking about Jackie Baillie, Daniel Johnson and Ian Murray who could do that and not forfeit their post. What a sorry bunch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now she has the privilege of talking as someone who isn't party leader. But should she find herself in that position, she will fall right into line. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
