Is it still the case that not a single Labour MSP has backed Sarwar’s call for Starmer to resign?
Anas Sarwar has been accused of 'treacherous' behaviour by one of his own MPs 'in tears at Westminster', according to reports

A day of political surprises & turmoil. And what is the considered take of #BBC Political Editor Chris Mason? That Anas Sarwar's desperate move could spell the end days of Starmer when with in minutes its futility & weakness was revealed. The BBC have to do 'political analysis' better than this.

Summer 1936 portrait of an unknown Gitano/Roma militiaman with anarchist scarf. One of many remarkable photos of Barcelona in Spanish Civil War by Antoni Campañà. Beautifully colourised by Julius Backman. (Insgrm). Working class power saying no pasarán.

I think the word is desperate.
Sarwar has shown his ruthless streak. But will his swipe at Starmer mean anything to voters?

One senior Labour figure says the intervention was "idiocy, immature, incoherent and self-defeating"
Another called it "soulless careerism"

It would be deeply ironic if Starmer refuses to follow Sarwar’s demands and it leads to Sarwar resigning.

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.

Since #bbclaurak is trending, let’s remind ourselves that ONE MONTH ago, the BBC invited Mandelson on for a soft-ball interview on her show. While HIS CLIENT , Palantir’s Louis Moseley appeared as a pundit
Both, as I wrote at time, were ‘abject failures of journalism’

The “Epstein Class”
Ossoff: We were told that MAGA was for working-class Americans. But this is a government of, by, and for the ultra-rich. It’s the wealthiest Cabinet ever. This is the Epstein class. They are the elites they pretend to hate.
