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 😅🤣

#Starmer's ''reforms' have taken the UK's #HouseOfLords from 85% appointed cronies to 96% appointed #cronies. He ejected the 92 #HereditaryPeers, but kept the 26 bishops and about 700 cronies.
It's over a century since the Parliament Act 1911 promised the UK an elected upper house, but not "immediately". The number of elected members remains 0%. Zilch. Nada. Nothing.
96% appointed cronies. And they call it "democracy".

#Starmer has just made the #HouseOfLords even worse.
In 1958, the Lords was a set of #HereditaryPeers & bishops. On Tuesday, the House of Lords (Hereditary Peers) Bill passed, making the Lords a bunch only of #LifePeers & bishops. 68 years from a club of #inbreds to a club of #cronies & donors.
The #ParliamentAct1911 promised an elected upper house, but it never arrived. 115 years later, the so-called "#LabourParty" leaves bishops as the only independent Lords. This is not #democracy.

I just signed the open letter calling on the #HouseOfLords to ban #MichelleMone now, until the criminal investigation into her deception over #PPEContracts concludes.

Former PM David Cameron’s appointment as Foreign Secretary has triggered fresh calls to abolish the House of Lords
There is no requirement for cabinet ministers to be a MP
It is rare senior offices of state are held by unelected politicians
#Lobbyist Cameron has been handed a seat in the Lords for life to take up the role
This joins a string of outrages about the urgent need to ditch the Lords
