I'm no Labour fan so can't argue either for or against what you've said. It doesn't look good to the electorate though and as I've said before I think Labour are in for a bit of a doing. Could be wrong but whatever happens I hope the Lib Dems and other progressive parties take up the slack if Labour does as badly as predicted to stop an outright tory majority.

Corbyn is on no way anti-Semitic but he failed to deal with those in his party who are. All they can do is damage limitation on this one.

I think if I remember rightly it was to take photographs of the office without Christine Jardine in it!

I noticed a lot of Lib Dem posters and signs up around the constituency today. I think she'll be voted back in to be honest although I don't know what the latest polling is.

It was. Which is why I have to question the absence of the photos 🤔

Sounds spot on. I've not heard anybody call Corbyn himself anti-Semitic but its very hard to deny there is a problem and its caused huge division within the ranks as shown by those who're now so fed up with Corbyn's handling of it that they're now willing to vote not just against Labour but side with the tories. Very damaging stuff. We can only hope the electorate don't go the same way and vote for the progressives instead of the tories.

It was a rash comment and one that Fife-Hibee probably regrets making. No harm done.

Whether he is or not, it's an issue which he continually comes up against, years after it first surfaced. It's seen another Labour candidate forced to resign tonight:

As an aside, what is that bit at the end of the story all about? What's the relevance of spraying Joanna Cherry with bleach?

"Another Labour candidate, Frances Hoole was earlier dropped in Edinburgh South West. The party refused to endorse Ms Hoole after she posted an image on social media of her SNP rival, Joanna Cherry, being targeted with a bleach spray."

The explanation, and image, are in this story.

Imagine standing as a Labour MP, getting elected on a Labour ticket. Then abandonning the party and advocating that people vote tory, claiming "anti-semitism" as the reason.

It would seem that people like Mr Austin thinks that Islamaphobia is perfectly ok then, as it's rife within the Conservative Party.

I'm sure it has nothing at all to do with the fact the Corbyn refuses to pander to Israeli lobbyist and that Mr Austin recieves income streams from the Israeli Knesset, the Israeli Ministry of Jerusalem & Heritage, the Australia Israel cultural exchange, Sir David Garrard (Israeli Lobbyist) and that other Israeli Lobbyist Sir Trevor Chinn.

Nope, nothing to see here.

Austin was on the C4 news earlier and was asked if he was happy about the pillar boxes comments from Johnson. Quite astonishingly, he said that what Boris had actually been doing was standing up for Muslim woman’s rights with that comment.

It won't be. They just haven't found a candidate yet. They're not exactly overburdened with prospective candidates in most of Scotland.

Currently a Councillor for Bearsden. Must have been really annoyed with the libdems to have the audacity to not stand aside for Jo Swinson 😉

Don't know if anyone saw QT last night, but Barry Gardiner had Hamza Useless on toast. The guy is a definite weak link for the SNP.

Otherwise, I was proud of the quality of the debate and contributions from the audience. A million miles from the monosyllabic contributions when the programme is broadcast from Oop Nath.

Special mention has to go to the Tory mouthpiece, although she soldiered on she kept getting caught, I thought she was going to burst into tears at one point.

Her puss was tripping her through the whole programme. Loved when she said "Boris cares for Scotland" and the whole audience started pishing themselves.

Didn't think Hamza did too badly but his constant interruptions got on my nerves a bit.

I didn't think much of the guy Anderson, businessman, he seemed to lose track of the point at times. I think Angela haggerty came across well.

Does the SNP get to choose who goes on? They have a lot of depth but it always seems to be the marmite types like Humza (either people like him or can't stand him) or ones like Fiona Hyslop who is usually a bit crap on those type of shows.

He tries too hard to play the politician. People would be much warmer towards him and those like him if the made their points without talking g over and interrupting others.

I thought he was unnecessarily abrasive and I found myself liking the people whose standpoint I don't necessarily agree with (Barry Gardiner for example) a lot more than Yusuf whose standpoint I do agree with.

He was too quick to interrupt and shout over people when they were better left in peace to talk nonsense and go a long way towards beating themselves before he could join in and finish the job.

Interesting snapshot.

Snp doing fine with the tories losing ground as expected and the Lib Dems increasing their share.

Its Labour that's deep in the dug kite. If that's reflected across the UK they're in for a hard night come the GE.

Polls have been known to get it wrong lately but its looking grim for Labour.

Maybe after Jo proudly confirmed she'd launch the nukes they will pick up the Lib Dem vote instead, we can only hope

I'm of the same opinion. I think that they are putting up 22 candidates.

I will vote snp at Westminster and green at Scottish and council elections until independence.

Take a look at my post before oz. It takes you to the Yougov twitter and you can see how bad Labour are doing in England.

Just had a look mate thanks.

Its extremely grim, worse than even I thought. They could also easily lose much of Wales which has almost always been their stronghold. A party in crisis no doubt about it.

If they were to take 12% in Scotland it would be the worst result for Labour in Scotland in 100 years.


In Scotland I just can't see where they will pick up votes from outside of those who hardcore believe in Corbyn's vision for the UK, unionists are going to vote for the Tories or Lib Dems, remainers will vote SNP or Lib Dem.

Davidson squeezed them on the indepdendence question, the SNP has squeezed them from the left, and I don't think anyone outside of those who take a strong interest in politics would know who Richard Leonhard actually is.

Completely screwed in other words.
