They just don’t care
I don’t even have to look at these supposed alternative budget proposals from British Labour in Scotland (BLiS). It’s enough that they hadn’t even bothered preparing any proposals in advance. Almost as if they weren’t even aware that budget time … Continue reading
The BLiS machine
Perhaps the best indication we have of the parlous state of British Labour in Scotland (BLiS) is the statement from the pretendy wee party’s spokesperson responding to Nicola Sturgeon’s stinging criticism of Richard Leonard’s ephemeral position on Brexit.

The Corbyn delusion
Gordon MacIntyre-Kemp is almost certainly correct when he says that Corbyn won’t win. The danger is that the goodies he’s dangling before voters will persuade the more credulous on the left to return to the British Labour fold – where … Continue reading
