#AndrewTickell is an exquisitely subtle, precise writer on Scottish politics. His elegant, wistful style reminds me of the #TheObserver's late columnist Alan Watkins, but without Watkins's pretentiousness.
So when facing the political carcass of #AnasSarwar, Tickell doesn't put the boot in. Instead, he takes ornate surgical knives, and dissects #Sarwar with cold precision. Delicious, and much more satisfying than a boot.

"Labour had been hopeful that Anas Sarwar would become first minister."
Seriously? What planet had they been living on for the last year? One where there are no news media, no polls, and no people to talk to?

Well now we know who's REALLY in charge of the Scottish branch office. Yes, it's sleekit, slimy, scumbag "Scottish Secretary", wee Doogie Alexander.
That's you tellt, Anus.

I suspect Sarwar knows this. Successive opposition leaders in Holyrood, from Ruth Davidson to Douglas Ross and now Sarwar – have always come up against this glass ceiling. ...
"Are we on the radar ?" Labour's Branch Office in Scotland. https://theorkneynews.scot/2026/02/11/are-we-on-the-radar-labours-branch-office-in-scotland/ #AlecRoss, #AnasSarwar, #Epstein, #KeirStarmer, #Labour, #LordMandelson -
What on earth happened yesterday in #ScottishLabour?
Did #AnasSarwar really go solo, calling for #Starmer's resignation without support nailed down?
Or did he have supporters who ratted once the #Starmtroopers turned up the heat?
I haven't seem any decent reporting of the #Sarwar plan. Lots on the aftermath, but no inside info on the plan.
Has anyone seen any credible reports on what was intended?
I don't rate #Sarwar, but this seems unexpectedly daft even fir him.

What's behind this Brit Royal offer to talk to the police about the ex-#PrinceAndrew?
They appear to have made a statement to PA in the small hours.
Is this some sort of attempt to draw the heat off #Starmer, as #AnasSarwar's botched coup was mopped up?
Or was #KingCharles miffed that he had been upstaged by Downing Street, and was no longer running the most dysfunctional show in the UK? Inviting the Plod to ransack a few palaces was a good way catch attention.

I'm pleased by yesterday's developments in the Downing Street dramas.
#Starmer has bought some space to allow weeks or even months of the #mortoregnum. #Popcorn moments continue, which is of course the primary purpose of the #Westminster shitshow. 😈
Now #Starmer's inevitable demise cannot be attributed to #AnasSarwar. #SLAB's planned moment of relevance for #Sarwar played out as just a puff of smoke. London massively subsidises the branch office, and it will make Sarwar pay.

"My job ... is to make sure Scotland's voice is heard in Cabinet. My focus remains on doing that."
I think you meant: "My job is to make sure the Cabinet's voice is heard in Scotland. My focus remains on doing that."
There, fixed that for you Dougie, ya slimy wee toad.

The leader of the Scottish Labour party, #AnasSarwar, urged Prime Minister #KeirStarmer to stand down on Monday, intensifying pressure on the British leader over his role in making #PeterMandelson the ambassador to the United States despite his close ties to #JeffreyEpstein.
“I have to be honest about failing wherever I see it,” Sarwar said at a news conference in Glasgow. “There have been too many mistakes.”

@christineburns I wish I could believe that thinking was any part of #AnasSarwar's politics.
He is a well-educated, articulate, personable sort of man, and he speaks clearly. But his politics is empty, devoid of any enfuring theme, always sounding as if it was this morning's bright idea.
This trans prison stuff is transparently an unresearched, unconsulted, attention-seeking wheeze. Pathetic ... and scary to watch how casually a minority can be thrown under the bus.

#ScottishLabour leader #AnasSarwar says he'd ban #transgender prisoners from women’s jails “within days” if he becomes first minister in May.
Sarwar would ensure that prisons are “single-sex, based on #biologicalSex”. https://archive.is/sMgsV
This would endanger #transwomen, and terrify #cis women who'd be sharing space with #transmen.
But the latest YouGov poll predicts wipeout for #SLAB. With zero chance of power, #Sarwar can promise without consequence. 🤮

The political failure of #AnasSarwar is a joy to behold, a treat for the festive season. #ScottishLabour's gamble on loyal Starmerism has sunk them, and #SLAB is now reduced to just talking down Scotland: https://bellacaledonia.org.uk/2025/12/28/anas-sarwars-dream/
In #BellaCaledonia @BellaCaledonia, Mike Small's sharp focus has not been dulled by festivity. This line alone, about former #NewLabour minister Brian Wilson, is a highlight of 2025:
"Wilson writes, bristling with indignant complacency".
Take a bow, Mike 👍

BBC Debate Night row erupts over ‘racist’ Reform UK ad
A ROW erupted on BBC Debate Night over a “racist” political advert published by Reform UK.
Last week, Nigel Farage’s party was accused of “not so much a dog whistle as a foghorn” after it was found to have promoted an advert on Facebook and Instagram which claimed Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar would “prioritise the Pakistani community”.
The quote, which Reform UK falsely attributed to Sarwar, included selected clips from a video which had been spread by far- and alt-right agitators on social media the previous month.
The National revealed how Reform UK have spent more than £10,000 promoting the advert online, despite sparking outrage from across the political spectrum.

Farage defends Reform advert after racism claims
Nigel Farage has defended a controversial Reform UK advert about Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar.
Both Labour and First Minister John Swinney have described the online video – posted ahead of a Holyrood by-election – as “blatantly racist”.
At a press conference in London, Farage played the video and accused Sarwar of introducing “sectarianism” into Scottish politics.
The Scottish Labour leader described the claims as “absolute nonsense”.
The Reform advert, posted on Facebook and Instagram, features clips of a 2022 speech Sarwar gave, external at an event celebrating the 75th anniversary of Pakistan’s independence.
