LESLEY Riddoch’s latest piece seems to me to be a description of what English and Scottish Labour are all about (Labour may have the UK election…
Labour may have the UK election in the bag but Scotland is still up for grabs, Jun 6government will a majority to pass its policies, which are more socialist than anything Starmer can come up with. Sarwar has to obey the party leader, regardless of what he might personally object to.So Lesley’s enlightenment is all about what, and who, NOT to vote for. She talks about Faiza Shaheen being ousted from her English constituency and the Labour Party.
Yet all three English parties are desperate to hold onto us and will do everything in their power to keep us imprisoned – lie, steak and politicise. The UK establishment, including Starmer’s English Labour, are keen to keep Scots in the dark about their wealth and how it’s keeping a sinking UK above the water line. It’s time we opened our eyes. We’re being robbed blind.
And the result is a bad-tempered, aggressive Sunak hectoring and interrupting Starmer, who is meek and mild and expecting the chair to create the space for him to speak. The whole idea of these debates should be brought into question. Do prospective prime ministers have to be photogenic, charismatic and fantastic aggressive speakers ready with put-downs and prepared to say anything, true or not? If this is the case then surely they are no longer fit for purpose. Getting an audience to ask questions is not ideal either, since they can be too easily weighted in favour of one or the other.
