Paul Kavanaugh (aka #WeeGingerDug) on how the sidelining of #MonicaLennon is #ScottishLabour's point of no return.

#SLAB lacks the resources to separate from London Labour, says Paul.

Nah, @simon_brooke, #ScottishLabour does better as another brand of the same thing. In the motor car trade, it is called #BadgeEngineering.

It's like how Škoda sells lightly restyled Volkswaqens to people who want VW's technology (including the poison gas diesels) but wouldn't actually buy a vehicle with the wankpanzer badge.

What remains of Scotland's Labour movement is happy to sell Tory policies, so long as they are rebaged with the red rose.

'[Monica Lennon] said, “We must be a party where people can believe in fair work… where women’s rights and LGBTQ rights are a shared struggle”. She said that #ScottishLabour had “soul searching” to do and said next leader must “do better” on climate change, and warned “punching down on trans people and minorities is not acceptable”, adding only then will Labour be “worthy of support”' -- @BellaCaledonia

Which is precisely why Lennon has been excluded.

Should #ScottishLabour not just merge with the #Conservatives? Their policies are indistinguishable, and they would be a stronger electoral force together.

"Monica Lennon, the only prospective candidate for leadership who had anything approaching a coherent plan to bail out and repair #Labour’s rapidly sinking Scottish ship, was well and truly shut out of the contest by the boys’ club...

Now Lennon gets to listen to the guys whose backroom machinations kept her off the ballot preach about the importance of party unity. She must be thrilled about that"

#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. 🤮

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 😅🤣
