I briefly listened to Starmer's comments on Sky tv re Nicola Sturgeon's departure and he opined that she successfully turned Scots against Labour??? The man has learned nothing re Scottish politics and the "sea change" that has happened in Scotland - a wooden top, a con man! And out of touch as usual!! Labour's decline dates back to 2007 during the Scottish general election and has continued in the six UK and Scottish elections since then. Labour failed to explain how to make devolution work, when all the aces are held by Westminster and Holyrood; constantly undermined by the Tories! They failed to explain what the Union is for. Also failed to denounce Brexit as an obvious sham, and why Scots should accept what we roundly reject. Above all, Scot Labour is a branch office under Starmer's control with no clear vision for Scotland's future and it most certainly is not a govt in waiting!! His speech was all about "poor them". The big, bad SNP done it! Still no self-awareness from them either - you've not learned any lessons re the whole constitutional question Sir Keir!! There's a well known saying from many ex-Labour supporting people up here in Scotland - "I never left the Labour Party, the Labour Party left me"!! So appropriate!!
