SO Andy Burnham visits Scotland to see if he can get a better reception than Starmer and support the failing Sarwar.
More promises – just remember the Smith Commission – the Tories were willing to give more powers to Scotland than Labour.
Labour promises are not worth the paper they are written on. Its been over 100 years since Labour first floated the notion that the House of Lords be abolished – yet still they stuff it, just like the rest of them.

The people of Scotland have been lied to again and again – “Labour needs Scotland to win an election”. Not true – even if all the 59 Scottish seats went to Labour, they could not overtake the present majority.
We now have the ridiculous situation where Labour is telling their front benchers not to appear on picket lines – imagine Labour unable to tie its colours to the mast on behalf of workers. Just as ridiculous as the Tory donor on the BBC Board in charge of impartiality.

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
