we’ve got lucky this time that Ash Regan is stupid and unpopular, but if the SNP position doesn’t change this a bill like this could easily get the votes to pass

it is embarrassing that the Nordic model is SNP policy tbf
I see Ash Regan is responding to the news that the Scottish Government will not support her Stage 1 ‘Unbuyable’ bill with her usual calm mature and considered rhetoric 🙄. A better bill needs redrafted in the new parliament term taking all the concerns into account.

the other side of this is a lot of people who said ‘it’s not about Corbyn it’s about the ideals’ do seem to very much feel that Corbyn is a critical component
it is funny how many of the ‘Corbynism without Corbyn’ people are finding excuses for why Zack Polanski isn’t good enough either

this is just basically true, and it’s a huge indictment of our political class that everyone pretends otherwise

there's a lot in this piece but the Mandelson email about angling for some kind of job at JP Morgan because 'i do not want to live by salary alone' just exemplifies everything people hate about politicians, the City, and revolving doors between the two www.ft.com/content/91e8...

Scottish Labour believes that, in addition to a prison sentence, trans women convicted of a crime should be subject to an extremely high risk of rape and sexual assault

even a cursory glance at the statistics will tell you this is a pro-rape policy
The Scottish Prison Service has an effective policy on trans prisoners based on expertise and experience. Folk concerned about women prisoners' safety should look at the stats. Trans people are not, and never have been, the problem. This is reactionary and should have no place in Labour's manifesto.

Labour party chair says Zack Polanski ‘cowardly’ for not fighting Gorton by-election – politics live
The party is trying to shift conversation after the NEC blocked Andy Burnham from fighting the seat
Good morning and welcome to our live coverage of UK politics. The Labour party has accused the Green party leader Zack Polanski of being cowardly for not standing in the Gorton and Denton byelection on 26 February.
In an interview with The Observer, the Labour party’s chair, Anna Turley, said the fact Salford-born Polanski did not stand showed the Greens lacked “confidence” to do so. Continue reading...

it’s just pandering to the highest turnout usually Labour-skeptical demographic
Genuinely curious to understand why so many Labour MPs backed the Waspi cause - one with such limited merit - other than that being the kind of thing one does in opposition. I’d love to read a long read on the campaign and how the cause became so widespread…
