Title: Labour Party walks away from Kezia Dugdale
Post by: Nearly Sane on September 20, 2018, 02:33:42 PM

Either they shouldn't have started this, or they shouldn't abandon Dugdale.

Hard not  to suspect some form of factionalism here. I don't have a high opinion of Dugdale but this is shabby.

Scottish Labour never ceases to disappoint me. Yes, it does smack of factionalism - and tawdry behaviour. I didn't really like Dugdale, but she deserves better support than this. Maybe the pathological hatred of all things SNP has kicked in, as she has an SNP MSP partner. Regardless of this, SLAB seems to elect increasingly innefective leaders; IMHO, the last big hitter was Jack McConnell, and things have spiralled downward ever since. I'm genuinely saddened given the history of the movem ent in Scotland.

Agree, Jim.And I would add that Wings/Rev Stewart is a prick of the highest order of prickdom.

Yep. Mind you, though controversial, his blog has survived several actions in the courts thus far. He treads a fine line, though. I suspect he must be pretty sure of his ground to have brought the action, though.

Once again it becomes obvious that Twitter is an abomination that needs to be consigned to oblivion.
