The National:

Last night, the full shambles of Westminster's incompetence was laid bare - so naturally Jeremy Corbyn has chosen now to talk about something the SNP supposedly did forty years ago.

Sometimes, the Jouker just wants to lay their head on the desk and let it end.

Thankfully, the First Minister was on hand to remind the Labour leader that there might be more pressing issues to contend with, especially given that we were originally meant to be leaving the European Union TOMORROW.

Not only is it a wildly inappropriate time to start hacking up the past however, it's also completely wrong.

Labour faced a vote of No Confidence in 1979 following the winter of discontent, a period of time with wide-spread industrial action across the UK thanks to pay caps imposed by James Callaghan's administration.

The vote gained enough support in Westminster and a general election was called, in which the voters chose to elect Margaret Thatcher.

(For some bizarre reason, they then chose to do this a few more time after that, but we digress.)

Now Labour can't blame the general UK public for losing power, nor can they accept that their own incompetence may have had a hand in their downfall - so instead they've chosen to attack the SNP for it.

If you are wondering why the SNP were in favour in the first place, the Labour government at the time had just decided to effectively ignore the referendum result on devolution for Scotland. A majority were in support of re-establishing the Scottish Parliament, but a wrecking amendment from a Labour MP essentially quashed the will of the people.

This pathetic myth, that the SNP teamed up with the Tories to take out the good guys, needs to come to an end.

Isn't it time the Labour party took some responsibility for their own mistakes?
