REBECCA Long-Bailey has been endorsed by Unite and has been praised for her “brains and brilliance”. As the brains-and-brilliance behind Labour’s last catastrophic defeat in its heartlands in December, it is a foregone conclusion that her winning brilliance is only confined to in-house Labourites.
Labour is truly doomed if Long-Bailley is elected leader. It is reminiscent of the time Labour opted for Michael Foot instead of Denis Healy. The party will turn inwards. It will hardly reach out with her aspirational socialism schtick.

No doubt Labour in Scotland will realise that its hopes for a Labour revival dahn sath will now be shattered. How much more do they have to thole from their hapless compadres south of the Tweed? With one MP only and a disastrous showing in Scotland, Labour really need to do indy2 for themselves and relocate politically to Scotland. This Union is getting them “down” in more ways than one!
It is really time to smell the haggis and ditch the pud! No matter who wins the Labour poisoned chalice, they are truly down and out!

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
