  1. “BBC Scotland Disclosure team catch-up three years after we disclosed Anas Sarwar backing a care home cash cow milking the tax-payer”.

    Indeed , but did they disclose in their disclosure programme that he, Sarwar, once backed them in the past ?

    If not , why not ?

    The list of scandals connected to his Labour party are growing , yet as scandals they not given the same treatment and attention by the BBC as they , the BBC, give to any #SNPBAD stories, be they true or false as #SNPBAD stories.

    Remember also this:

    Labour in Scotland “using a fake quote attributed to a maternity campaigner, Claire Fleming, on campaign leaflets. The leaflet, which used a picture of Fleming, stated she supported Labour to fix the NHS, which she denied saying. Sarwar apologised for the “admin error”.

    “Sarwar apologising after joking at a press conference that he looked as if he had suffered a “stroke,” a comment described as “deeply disappointing” by health campaigners”

    Pam Duncan-Glancy initially retaining the Labour whip for so long after revelations about her continued relationship with an ex Labour Councillor who was a convicted sex offender, that is Sean Morton.

    Sarwar trying to pretend that his opinion aka position had been that he thought Peter Mandelson should never have been appointed as UK ambassador to the US – then an online post was produced that showed Sarwar with Mandelson in Washington standing side by side, both smiling and so then very friendly, indeed Sarwar posted this with that picture “It was great to catch up with my old friend and the UK’s (relatively!) new Ambassador to the US, Peter Mandelson @UKinUSA”

    The above is not an exhaustive list of #BAD connected to Labour in Scotland , yet they represent a puzzling aspect as to why the BBC and other media within Scotland are then so keen to protect Anas Sarwar and Labour.

    Of course this is not puzzling aspect , I jest.

    As we all know that the media, including the BBC , are more than willing to endorse, support and campaign for Labour in Scotland irrespective of all of the scandals connected to them and their so called ‘leader’ here in Scotland , but only as long as they still remain a pro UK political party.

    That is the bottom line in Scotland.

    As any party that is pro UK will then see the media here in Scotland (and elsewhere) more than willing to endorse them , support them, conspire with them , try to protect them and so then try to assist them before elections in order that they can possibly win, as in gain, more seats or any from the SNP.

    Of course it’s not just #BAD with Labour in Scotland as we have also had a lot of #BAD that has been and still is connected to Labour HQ, including the #BAD connected to their actual real leader of their Labour party, Sir Keir Starmer.

    So then why would we vote for Labour in Scotland in May , whose HQ since 2024 have failed to change anything for the better but instead they have only managed to change things for the worse.

    ( Which as changes have mostly been endorsed and supported by Anas Sarwar, that is until Sarwar saw all of the recent bad polls this year for Labour in Scotland , bad polling that the media have mostly tried to only link to, as in blame only upon Sarwar’s boss, Sir Keir Starmer, as has Sarwar).

    Better that the public within Scotland do not risk a repeat of what we have all seen happen since 2024 with Labour HQ, which has been a complete disaster of a UK government and an even bigger disaster of a UK PM with Sir Keir Starmer.

    I am confident that Labour here in Scotland , as a government in Scotland, would do no better than their HQ have done as a UK government, as in #badly, as we were once told by Henry McLeish, a former Labour FM, that the branch office here in Scotland takes their instructions from Labour HQ.

    Well then that being the case , say no more, surely ?

    1. Seen this post from MSM Monitor today

      “Nobody ever highlights the ‘Scottish Labour manifesto launch’ during the UK general election whenever Sarwar complains that the Holyrood campaign is being confused with Westminster issues. It was OK to confuse the two when it suited him”

      Spot on MSM Monitor.

      Sarwar in campaigning for Labour in the 2024 UK GE seemed to be campaigning against the SNP as a Scottish devolved government and he will also do the same in the Holyrood election.

      One is appropriate as an MSP while the other has no bearing in a UK GE , where Sarwar was campaigning for his HQ party to be the next UK government in 2024.

      I remember Sarwar launching the “Scottish Labour manifesto” during the UK GE.

      It is still online and it’s header was “Change”.

      Have a look and see how many of these “Changes” were not within a devolved government’s powers (or indeed Scottish Labour’s power) and capability , but are noted in this Scottish Labour manifesto , such as:

      GB Energy ?

      National security ?

      Secure Borders ?

      Most of the text is only relevant to a Labour HQ being elected as the new UK government, also upon reading it now , one can then see that not much that Sarwar and Labour in Scotland pledged in this so called Scottish Labour manifesto in 2024, has now actually materialised as a reality via their HQ party as the new UK government, indeed much of it has seen the opposite happen.

      Namely the statement that declares “A UK Labour government will save families hundreds of pounds , slash fuel poverty and get us back on track to meet our climate targets”.
