Kezia’s career
Maybe it’s just because we’ve grown so accustomed to venality and corruption within the British parties, but there’s a distinct sense here of Kezia Dugdale being bought off. One needn’t be hugely cynical to wonder what leverage Dugdale has that … Continue reading

Pissing on protocol
In politics, protocol is very important. There have to be rules of behaviour. Etiquette, if you like. Without such rules, the often complex business of politics can get very messy, and much more difficult. People have to know their place … Continue reading
Who’s demeaning who now?
It is interesting to contrast the spittle-flecked histrionics of Neil Findlay and others of Kezia Dugdale’s ‘colleagues’ with the muted, reasonable comments from Keith Brown. I know which I regard as the more mature and appropriate. As is so often … Continue reading

Selective blindness
Few, if any, are taken in by Kezia Dugdale’s pointless posturing. Her talk of a ‘new Act of Union’ is nothing more than a transparent ploy to try and position British Labour in Scotland (BLiS) somewhere between the SNP’s positive … Continue reading
