Churchill wasn't very keen on being involved in Vietnam either. So Starmer despite contemporary transatlantic utterances may well be on the right side of history.

Yep, the Tory Party in Scotland looked calculatedly manipulative when this matter was being legislated in Scotland. Labour were sensible then...what happened?

To be strictly accurate, it wasn't just "members opposite". Gisela Stuart, Labour MP and now Baroness was a leader of the Brexit campaign.
Labour now has a large majority, they contributed to this disaster and should now put it right.

Ask him if he'll defect straight back to the Tories if he becomes an MSP.

I don't think it would cost the earth to compensate the equity punks. It's mainly a matter of deciding not to be greedy.

Justice for Murrell!

SNP support is lower. Independence is polling quite well.

Labour didn't see that their voters in Scotland were independence oriented, then fought a florid and frightening campaign against it, so paid the price.

Now they fail to see their voters in England are left leaning, and their Welsh voters are too, and increasingly nationalistic.

Not smart! πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

Bloody awful if true. I've been wondering about the impact of the media coverage on him since it happened.

He didn't get that information from research by Labour Together did he? πŸ˜‰

It was a great game, and brilliant to see the Wales of old.
I thought we were done for at one point
The Darcy Graham try reminds me of the Shane Williams one that broke Scottish hearts a few years ago - daring and improbable.

I'm never sure if Starmer and Co are just stumbling aimlessly from crisis to crisis,or just affecting to.
I'm hoping the latter, and if they stumble back into Europe that'll be great with me

On another topic though, is it not about time some of the unionist parties proposed a better sort of Union?

There are examples of better democracy in Scotland and Wales. The proportional systems are imperfect but in Scotland from my experience the vote is far more closely reflected in the make up of parliament.

It wasn't dry before they took over, and The Flattie bar was great.

Not a manufactured "moment of peril" by any chance?
Both speeches sounded a bit clunky to me. ..

Currently fibbing his head off. How does the UK prime minister making a complete mess of life turn into a "SNP Bad" story.
What a neep!
