Brian Leishman’s very shiny brass neck doesn’t blind us

By Liz S

Yesterday, Brian Leishman, accused Neil Gray of promoting a “pack of lies.” Surely we (and he himself) needs to remember that he, Leishman, together with Anas Sarwar, once promoted a “pack of lies” on behalf of the Labour party.

In 2024 he, together with Anas Sarwar, assured Scotland and the constituency of Grangemouth that Labour would save jobs ay Grangemouth Oil refinery.

On 27 June 2024 in his campaign for the UK GE he posted this on ‘X’:

“Only @ScottishLabour has a plan to save the Grangemouth refinery and it was great to have @IanMurray out campaigning with us today. A Labour government wants to keep Grangemouth working and with our Green Prosperity Plan we will invest in the sites future”.

On the 2 July 2024 he also posted this below (together with a video of him and Anas Sarwar promoting a “pack of lies” in their fake campaign pledge to save jobs at Grangemouth Oil Refinery , but only if Labour were elected as the next UK government in the 2024 UK GE):

“The SNP have done nothing. Only voting @ScottishLabour on 4th July can save the jobs at the Grangemouth refinery”.

I mean he really does have a brass neck does he not.

He thinks that just because he started to play the innocent victim after the 2024 UK GE, what with him being supposedly duped by Labour HQ and also by Sarwar, so then now the voters in Scotland should all sympathise with him , agree with him when he shouts #SNPBAD and so then forgive and forget his very prominent role in promoting a “pack of lies” in 2024, that is in relation to (only) Labour supposedly going to save jobs at Grangemouth Oil Refinery if they won the UK GE.

Reality now being that Leishman is doing a great job of trying to save his own political Ar*e.

He has to appear to oppose quite a lot of acts and policies via Labour HQ as the UK government , but then he also still wants to be a Labour MP – that somehow is not a credible position to hold, surely ?

Is his a classic case of faux opposition or controlled opposition (or both) .

Sick of him (apparently) constantly objecting to various Labour UK government policies and actions , yet he still wants to be a Labour MP. I mean he has already been suspended by Labour when Starmer was the PM.

However when he was reinstated as a Labour MP he said:

“I am a proud Labour Party member” and he also said “I don’t want to lose the whip and, to be honest, I don’t think what I have said and what I have done in my first 12 months as an MP (mean) I deserve to.”

Well he may think that , however I do hope voters in his constituency do believe that he “deserves to lose” their votes and also his constituency seat in the next UK GE ( if not sooner).

One of the way too many parcel of rogues within the Labour party (both at HQ and branch office level).

  1. A comprador in other words. Leishman is willing to sell his political integrity to the British Labour Party even if it means accepting the loss of Scotland’s only refinery and the impoverishment of his fellow Scots. Despicable.
