But compare her with a "red Tory" called Ian Murray MP. His anti-democratic comments are just unbelievable when it comes to talking about the Scottish constitution. Voted in by tactical voting Tories in Edinburgh south, he is well up there amongst the "scum" that Angela Rayner described in her speech!! Also there could be no clearer message from Starmer and Murray: Labour presents no real change to Johnson's government and a recent OP confirms that fact. It's a dismal prospect: elect us and we'll do nothing, or express your will (in Scotland) as an overwhelming alternative to the disaster zone that is the British State and we'll ignore you (and the trade unions who recognise the significant "swing" of their Scot members towards Scotindy!!). British democracy, either way (Tory or Labour), is pretty much "broken", as are the wastelands of poverty it presides over. And Murray's attitude is astonishing - a mixture of old school false class consciousness mingled with a dollop of "Muscular Unionism" and a solid dose of "Compulsory Britishness"!!!
Murray commenting this week that the Scot people should engage in UK politics??? What a cheeky bastard TBF!! Someone should remind him that by electing MPs, the Scot people ARE engaging with UK politics - it is called an election in what is purported to be a functioning democracy!! IF YOU DON'T WANNA ACCEPT THE OUTCOME OF THAT ELECTION THEN YOU SHOULD JUST SAY SO!!
