They didn't have to back Labour in a vote of confidence, there wasn't going to be one, but they decided to put the motion forward themselves.

Oh I can assure you, there was. You can delude yourself all you like. But Labour were a failing government under Callaghan and were losing public and political confidence rapidly.

There was no trap laid by Labour. The Tartan Tories laid it off their own back.

Labour knew exactly what they were doing when they backtracked over devolution. They knew it would put the SNP in a lose/lose situation if a vote of no confidence or general election were to be called. I'm just delighted that they took Labour down with them.

I have no idea why you're banging on about Labour. I'm not defending them. I'm not even discussing them. They were pish then and they're pish now. You've still not explained what they've got to do with me.

However, there was no excuse for the SNP siding with Thatcher, yet you defend it. That's shameful and not just a touch hypocritical.

You're right, they were pish. Which is exactly why they were on limited time regardless of anything the SNP did. But there you go again. Talking about the SNP as if it was their sworn duty to keep Labour in government regardless of how poorly they treated Scotland.
