Former Scottish Labour MSP quits with furious attack on Keir Starmer

So one ‘Scottish’ MSP, just one has the balls to do something. How About the rest of you feart weans? Of course I will not expect a word from the mass of the London appointed cattle who will do what Starmer wishes.

Sucking at the teat - as I have heard some farmers 'discussing' perceived corruption amongst politicians.

Malcolm Macaskill laundered £200,000 of stolen funds through his local Conservative parties in Glasgow and Rutherglen, where he was treasurer and deputy chairman

Does anyone NOT REALISE that this is the only reason the CONservatives would have a presence there?

Common sense, but then he is FM, Scottish and not worth listening to by our current maladministration who still regret devolution. Meanwhile Starmer continues to search for those elusive red wall brexiteers, convinced he can bring them back into the Labour fold.

Devastating plans

Why go the way of England? Intellectual impoverishment, reduced opportunities - what not to like - if you want a bitter ill educated group of voters?

I did warn that UK Labour wanted to use their "metro mayors" plan to centralise rather than decentralise power. Coming soon to Scotland too, if they can get away with it.

My article in this week's Common Weal newsletter.

A year ago I wrote about a solar farm proposal near me.

Since then, more details have emerged including just how little the community stands to benefit from hosting one of the UK's largest solar power stations unless the Government steps up to support us.
