@Demosthenes9876 @kmckenna63 @heraldscotland McKenna is a tool of the highest order.
No journalistic integrity, just a second half salesman to a dying newspaper brand.

@kmckenna63 @heraldscotland McKenna. Yesterday's man, representative of Yesterday's ideology on behalf of an almost dead industry is trying to convince you that your opinion does not count. Don't let him.

Andy Burnham, Anas Sarwar and John Swinney have just shown us that Scottish politics is irrelevant: my column in @heraldscotland heraldscotland.com/politics/viewp…

@paulhutcheon Spents years licking the useless dweebs arse to try and make him FM and now look at the state of you, no wonder no one buys yer shite rag of a paper anymore
English
@rosscolquhoun Isn’t he the same hack that predicted Kezia and Leonard to be ‘next’ FM?
English
Remember, these folk tried to make him First Minister.

Ooft. A Scottish Labour insider messages some prime snark. "Is he going to be Lord Sarwar of Hutchie?"

Burnham: I won’t respect democracy in Scotland, so I’m denying you a referendum.
Also Burnham: Lose your seat, deliver Scottish Labour’s worst-ever result, and I’ll put you in the unelected House of Lords.
Incredible.

Great start for Burnham in Scotland. You can shove your democratic mandate for a referendum in the bin. Meanwhile I’ll reward my failure of a mate the millionaire Sarwar with a seat in the undemocratic House of Lords. Same Labour circus different clown in charge.

@paulhutcheon For Scotland @ScottishLabour and @UKLabour cannot be trusted for our future. @andyburnham is about to treat Scotland like a Region of England!! @AUOBNOW @theSNP @ScotNational @alanyoung3000 @andydphilip

TELLY GOLD: On Jimmy Hill’s birthday, a reminder of the time he was blown up for a Comic Relief skit.
The laughter from Des and Alan here is a pure delight…
English
@PoliticsScot Yep the phrase ‘cap in hand’ was never more apt than for Anas Sarwar right now.
A grifter and a charlatan.
English
🤣🤣
Scottish history is absolutely replete with shit like this. Screw over your fellow Scot for some grace and favour and scraps from the English table.
We really never learn do we? Salmond was right, 2014 WAS once in a generation, and we totally screwed the pooch.

🚨 BREAKING: Andy Burnham has given a peerage to Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar so he can become a Minister He was the first major Labour figure to call for Keir Starmer to resign and will now quit as leader
English
@FarvaRangers He’ll stay at Dunfermline this season. The rest depends on promotion or not.

@dmccafferty49 @BBCDavidWL Backstabbing people like Jackie Bailie prefer to hide in the shadows doing her dirty work.
English
@BBCDavidWL Why isn't Jackie Baillie standing as leader?
Longest serving MSP. Most experienced. Best known throughout Scotland.Never out of the media. One of the few elected time after time in a constituency vote.
Strange, when her party is in such dire straits that she won't step up.
English
Understand that Anas Sarwar will cease to be leader of Scottish Labour this evening.
Jackie Baillie to take over as acting leader until SEC meets to agree leadership contest.

@Neilsocialist @sunpath2 Typical Labour whataboutery.
Deal with your own party before inventing scenarios that won’t happen in another one.
English
I tell who is also ragin’ about Sarwar getting a House of Lords seat because they would love one too:
Ian Blackford
Peter Wishart
Nicola Sturgeon
English
Easy to get dragged into playing the man and not the ball in these moments, especially if only looking through a constitutional lens. Anas is a nice guy, a natural warmth and very personable. Wish him well on his new position (if confirmed) within the UK Government.

English
@KennyFarq Do you think she gets extra providence by referring to her as ‘Dame’?
Personally think she’s a two faced backstabber with a smile.
English
Early days, but for me there is one stand-out candidate to replace Sarwar as Scottish Labour leader right now: Dame Jackie Baillie.
