Elise Burns and Keith Williams appeared in campaign filmed by Rankin this year – both were denied their wishes, but their relatives are picking up the baton

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?

Scottish Labour’s rivals decry ‘chancer’ Anas Sarwar for resigning to join Andy Burnham’s government https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2026/jul/22/scottish-labours-rivals-decry-chancer-anas-sarwar-for-resigning-to-join-andy-burnhams-government #AnasSarwar #Scotland #Labour #AndyBurnham #HouseOfLords #ScottishPolitics #Politics #UkNews

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 restores powers to ousted hereditary peers in Lords shake-up https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2026/apr/30/keir-starmer-restores-powers-hereditary-peers-house-of-lords #LordsReform #HouseOfLords #KeirStarmer #Labour #Conservatives #London #Politics #UkNews #AnasSarwar #ScottishNationalPartySnp

#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.

This is a different ban, it seems the Lords want to Amend the schools bill, I think the #HouseOfCommons want to bring in a different Law for this.

Lol, fuck off then.
I bet you'll be claiming your basic income for every day up until you send back your weasel fur coat....

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

I enjoyed the opportunity to give evidence as a witness to the UK Parliament Lords Committee on Justice and Home Affairs, offering a Scottish perspective as part of their inquiry on community sentences. If it interests, today's Committee session is available on UK Parliament TV, with 3 witnesses giving evidence 📺 👇
