I am sending the assisted dying bill back to the Lords – and this time, peers must do the right thing | Lauren Edwards
By Lauren Edwards

The will of the elected chamber – and a popular, compassionate piece of legislation – must not be frustrated again by a small minority of peers

#AnasSarwar's views on the #HouseOfLords. 2022 versus 2026.

From #TheNational.

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 😅🤣
