I do think that the Anas Sarwar press conference was just too nakedly cynical to be effective, frankly.

Anas Sarwar is about to call for Starmer to resign for his appalling judgement when it came to Peter Mandelson.
The same Anas Sarwar who proudly posed with his 'old friend' years after everyone knew that Mandelson stuck with Epstein despite his conviction for child sex offences.

Starmer is only the most recent chapter in a very long story of how Westminster fails Scotland.
Obviously he should go. Obviously he will. But Scotland doesn't just need a new chapter in the same story.
Independence lets choose our own future.

It's rare to see how lobbyists operate. But the Epstein-Mandelson correspondence shows us what happens all the time: plutocrats and government ministers conspiring against the public interest. This is why all lobbying should be in the public domain, but despite Labour and Con promises, it's not. 🧵
