#scottishlabour — Public Fediverse posts

It's worth pointing out that Angus Robertson did not come second behind Lorna Slater, but third, so if @ScottishGreens had not stood in Edinburgh Central, he might still not have won, and indeed #ScottishLabour might have got it.

https://www.europesays.com/britain/33534/ The two Scottish Labour MSPs tipped as leadership contenders if Anas Sarwar quits #AnasSarwar #Dundee #Glasgow #IndependenceReferendum #JackieBaillie #LabourParty #MiddleEast #RacingTips #ScottishLabour #ScottishNationalParty #TonyBlair #UK #UnitedKingdom

@drgeraint this is true. But they won't get an #IndyRef2 that way. The reason I think the SNP *should* bring #ScottishLabour into government is that by throwing a few plums to them in terms of ministerial jobs they could get serious pressure applied to #Westminster to get the referendum agreed.

Mind you, I suspect #Swinney doesn't really want another indyref anyway, and that that is what was behind the stupid 'only SNP votes count' nonsense.

#ScotPol

We all know that #ScottishLabour are much closer to the #SNP on policies than they are to #UKLabour. So would it be a good thing for Scotland if SNP/ScotLab were to agree a coalition deal in which:

1. ScotLab would support the call for #IndyRef2, but would not necessarily campaign for #ScottishIndependence and
2. ScotLab would get the Cabinet Secretary for Transport, with a remit to nationalise Scotland's buses?

@nusher @Geri Explain what you mean about the LibDems? I think it's more likely that you would find support for #ScottishIndependence among #ScottishLabour than among the #LibDems.

#YouGov's final MRP of the 2026 #Holyrood election shows the #SNP falling short of a majority, but on course for a fifth term in office. #ScottishGreens are surging, but #SLAB #ScottishLabour is in deep trouble.

SNP: 62 seats (-5 from 23 Mar-8 Apr)
Ref: 19 (-1)
Lab: 17 (+2)
Grn: 16 (+5)

The #ScottishLabourParty has — to put it mildly —;not adapted & prospered under devolution. In the weekend after its annual conference & #GortonAndDenton does it have any future? Could it finally become #ScottishLabour?

#GerryHassan's essay in the #SundayNational is not optimistic.

If you were feeling a bit bored with the Labour politician's paedo pal story, and have had more than #enough of #Mandelson ... Well, you're in luck.

And now for something completely different: a female Scottish Labour politician's paedo pal. Pam Duncan-Glancy MSP was also hanging out with her paedo pal after he was jailed.

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.

#SLAB #Scotpol #ukpol

#ScottishLabour leader #AnasSarwar says he'd ban #transgender prisoners from women’s jails “within days” if he becomes first minister in May.

Sarwar would ensure that prisons are “single-sex, based on #biologicalSex”. https://archive.is/sMgsV

This would endanger #transwomen, and terrify #cis women who'd be sharing space with #transmen.

But the latest YouGov poll predicts wipeout for #SLAB. With zero chance of power, #Sarwar can promise without consequence. 🤮

The political failure of #AnasSarwar is a joy to behold, a treat for the festive season. #ScottishLabour's gamble on loyal Starmerism has sunk them, and #SLAB is now reduced to just talking down Scotland: https://bellacaledonia.org.uk/2025/12/28/anas-sarwars-dream/

In #BellaCaledonia @BellaCaledonia, Mike Small's sharp focus has not been dulled by festivity. This line alone, about former #NewLabour minister Brian Wilson, is a highlight of 2025:

"Wilson writes, bristling with indignant complacency".

Take a bow, Mike 👍

#ScottishLabour chief #Sarwar is still being protected by the #media re; questions about his #Labour lord and master in #westminster...

#Sarwar is #supposed to be looking after the interests of the #Scottish People... He doesn't... and never will...

Does anyone really believe that #Starmer would allow #ScottishLabour to reintroduce the #WinterFuelAllowance in #Scotland? There would be uproar in England if he didn't do the same.

BBC News: Sarwar pledges to expand winter fuel payment

This is Kirsty McNeill's maiden speech as Labour MP for Midlothian where she makes her "solemn commitment" to the children of Midlothian that she will be their "champion".

"We are all of us products of investments made in us as children" - how true Kirsty.

She voted to keep the two-child benefit cap.

I worked in Education in Midlothian for many years and saw first-hand the child poverty that exists there.
