STV News reports:

“Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch is adamant that, despite Andy Burnham’s defence of the United Kingdom earlier this week, Labour is not serious about keeping the Union intact“

“keeping the Union intact” ?

What Union would that be ?

STV also mentioned that “Burnham has long been criticised for snubbing Scotland – after excluding it on his August summer ‘listening’ tour” .

Mind you when do we ever see Kemi Badenoch, current Tory HQ leader, make a conscious effort to come up regularly to Scotland to reaffirm her supposed support for Scotland within the UK State, other than when it is a time that is prior to some election happening.

Badenoch also said to STV that “We need oil and gas, we need nuclear, we need renewables, we need to get serious. And right now, we have a lot of very silly people who are running energy policy, not just nationally with Labour but with the SNP.”

So they , the rest of the UK State, needs what is largely , via capacity and potential, our Scottish resources and also Badenoch incorrectly attributes the SNP as also being part of a group of “silly people who are running energy policy” (when Energy is a Reserved power held by the UK government).

#FakeNews

Badenoch also stated that “They (Labour) may have changed leader, but the party is still the same old Labour party. All they care about is welfare”

Well funnily enough that could also be said of the Tories (exempting the Welfare part obvioulsy).

As they too have “changed leaders” (plural) far too many times (Badenoch is the fifth one since 2014) .

Also they too are the “same old Tory party” and “all they care about” as Tories is that the rich keep getting richer while the poor need to just try to “live within their meagre means” (meagre due to Thatcher and also the austerity policies introduced by the Cameron/ Clegg coalition UK government).

Badenoch refers to the SNP as “Separatists” , a term that is meant to be negative, yet any sane and fair minded person would look at her , her party and her UK and think , no bloody wonder some within Scotland want their country to be separate from the UK State.

The UK State is a S***hole and the UK political parties are promoting hate and divisive S***, yet somehow for them the SNP are to be labelled as being the baddies of UK politics !

So who are those who are to be considered as being the supposed ‘Force for good’ within UK politics ? (Not meaning Alistair McConnachie’s rogue outfit).

Certainly not Badenoch or her Tory party that’s for sure, or indeed any of the other pro UK political parties either.
