#ScottishLabour seizes another opportunity to miss an opportunity.
#MonicaLennon waa the left candidate to replace #AnasSarwar as leader of #SLAB. She is experienced, articulate, opposes transphobia, and above all is smart enough fo recognise that it's long past time to split from London Labour.
So of course, the blob squeezed Monica off the ballot. The 2026 Scottish Labour leadership election will be fought between 2 stale, male, pale rightwingers, both loyal to London. 🤮

B: None of them.
A: Correct!

Bizarre statement by #AnasSarwar! 🙄
It's about his decision to eff to London, to a seat in the unelected #HouseOfLords. He will also be a minister for trade, but as a Minster Of State, he will have no power. The prize here is the Lords seat for life
At the end, he refers to his successor, in a context that can only refer to the party leadership. But he never actually says that he is resigning as leader of #ScottishLabour. Is he still leader?

A tough 5 years for Scotland's silliest clown show. Traditionally, every other year the leader of #ScottishLabour would be humiliatingly defenestrated, and replaced with someone even less competent.
#AnasSarwar cheated by staying for 5 years, almost a million times the average tenure. The comedy cane from losing elections with increasing severity.
Now he restores the humiliation by crawling to the #HouseOfLords.
#SLAB Leader #11 due soon. Don't blink, or you'll miss them 😅🤣

"The reality is that Wes #Streeting, #AnasSarwar, #AndyBurnham and #JoshSimons are all part of the same political project, on the right of British Labour."

#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.
