Reading the recent iteration from Starmer's Labour "branch office" in Scotland and it is no wonder that most people up here have long since gone past the point of caring what contortions they have got themselves into. So they have taken a hard line stance against Scottish independence thereby pitching themselves against a big chunk of their membership plus those who have deserted them in droves for the past 10-15 years or more. To summarise, the "branch office" is strongly in favour of the Preciousssssss Union and Britain at all cost, but don't you dare call them Unionists or Brit Nats! They are in favour of democracy! 
But they are not in favour of actually allowing the to vote in another referendum in case the people give the wrong answer. That non-entity leader, Richard Leonard (with that Yorkshire accent!) even clashing with trade unions like Unison who have sided with a membership majority that favours Scottish independence. His comment being that Scotland had no appetite for independence on the very same day that a Panelbase poll came out showing there's a majority support for independence with 63% of Scot Labour's own voters opining that Scotland is less safe as part of the UK!! As for the usual extreme anti indy comments of Ian Murray, I won't even go there any more. The man is a prat and I suspect he is also an Orange Lodge member effectively telling Scots they can be saved from the Tories by a Labour Party which has turned itself into a version of the Tories. Scot Labour's hardline message on Scotindy means they have effectively abandoned any hope of regaining the voters they have lost to pro-independence parties. Instead, they prefer to "fish in the increasingly shallow pond" of diehard Brit Nat voters, the voters who would still oppose Scot indy under all and any circumstances. IMO in doing so, they are effectively signing a suicide letter for the next Scottish elections. Good riddance!!
