What Liz Kendall did to society's most vulnerable certainly doesn't appear to have faded from the public's minds yet. Two new polls from Find Out Now and Techne respectively show that Labour haven't recovered one iota from the scarcely believable sub-25 vote shares they've been languishing on.

I think it’s hard to overstate the anger in parts of Wales that everything seems to be on the table with regards to saving steel making in Scunthorpe whereas this seemingly wasn’t the case for Port Talbot.

Just 12 months till the Senedd election.
In all seriousness, it’s ridiculous that this wasn’t on the table when it came to Wales. pic.twitter.com/G3DAQDQKs8

Not all heroes wear capes. Just take a look at these brave Labour MP’s having to travel in to Westminster on a Saturday. Thankyou all for your sacrifice pic.twitter.com/CXNogGkSOg

We were better together in 2014
ReplyDeleteWe’re still better together
We’ll always be better together
Rule Britannia
Try telling that to the Grangemouth workers.
DeleteI still remember visiting the Ravenscraig steel works before it was closed to protect Englands green and rip-off land. Still remember 2014 - you can only stay in the eu if you vote No. another lie. Labour and the gmb union, 13 frigates for the Clyde. Another lie. Labour has lied consistently and Grangemouth is another one looming. Sarwar -where are you?
DeleteSome serious nationalist propaganda today.
DeleteTruly desperate straw clutching stuff!
Yep, that Britnat propaganda mill is in overdrive today.
DeleteUnionists are too timid to see the big picture and sadly slavishly follow their masters in Westminster.
ReplyDeleteThe decision to nationalise Scunthorpe, and not reciprocate with Port Talbot only makes sense from the perspective of the Military Industrial Complex. Scunthorpe is a “strategic asset” because it makes plate steel. Port Talbot despite being twice the size of Scunthorpe is only capable of making strip steel. Arguably, Port Talbot is a “financial strategic asset” in a way Scunthorpe is not.
ReplyDeletePlate steel is necessary for strategic, capital projects such as bridges and major weapons systems. If Keith turns up at the next G8 without a steel industry capable of making aircraft carriers, etcetera, all the other world leaders will snigger behind his back. Also, Keith’s handlers in Thames House and Vauxhall Cross demand that we keep sending weapons to Ukraine to maintain our proxy war with evil Vlad.
interesting point, but from what I have read 70% of the steel for the new subs and ships comes from France and I think another 10% comes from S Korea(?) - the kind of steel really matters in these projects
DeleteThe steel for submarines is Navy Q1. It was manufactured at Ravenscraig. Ravenscraig retained the technical facilities ( including but not limited to an ingot moulding bay) and expertise to make Navy Q1. When Ravenscraig went, the ability to make Navy Q1 went with it, hence the reliance on France. One of the justifications for closing Ravenscraig was that it was an in-land site, unlike Port Talbot and Llanwern. Well, Scunthorpe is also in-land. In many ways, Ravenscraig and Scunthorpe are (were) comparable plants in terms of size and breadth of steel making capacity. Ravenscraig was designated by the EEC as a European Centre of Excellence for its technical department. Ravenscraig’s fatal flaw was not being located in Engerland.
DeleteEngerlund, comes first over all other countries and Labour , tories, austerity Lib Dem’s self perpetuate it. Oh forgot racist reform too.
ReplyDeleteEmbarrassing nationalist bullshit!
DeleteThat hit a sore spot with the Britnat troll. Truth causes them pain.
DeleteAgree the Brit nats love their bully beef or is it just bullying?
ReplyDeleteFlynn has a wee moan in the Commons about the dastardly English looking after English steel interests. Anyone really surprised that the English parlament has as its prority England and that Wales and Scotland don't count. Scotland and Wales are England's colonies. They can be treated like shit any time England wants and Flynn is just the latest generation of SNP devolutionists to stand up, have a moan and then be ignored.
ReplyDeleteBeats me why people think that doing the same thing decade after decade will make any difference. But hey that's the extreme SNP loyalist mindset for you.
There is no democracy for Scotland - there never has been.
There is no serious independence party in Scotland.
IFS does nothing for Scotland but bitch and go on foreign holidays.
DeleteAnon troll at 8.12pm - not exactly an intelligent critique of my comment. But that's what trolls post.
DeleteHow others see us -
ReplyDeleteJust back from a visit to family in London/Hastings.
Had a load of conversations with really decent, fair-minded folk down there.........but they have not one clue about what goes on in Scotland.
We are simply not on their radar and never will be.
'Britain' 'UK' 'This Country' all basically mean England to them.
There is no real animus towards Scotland, they just do not consider us much at all.
Grangemouth?
Never heard of it.
Starmer's lot and and all other Unionist Govts have exactly the same mindset - if they think about us at all, it is as a minor annoyance to be either slapped-down and kept in our place, or completely ignored.
Such is the nature of this so-called 'union' and it really does put into true perspective the self-loathing and completely subservient mindset of far too many 'Scottish' unionists who revel in being treated like shit on their shoes by WM.
This sham-union will never change.
I agree with your comment David. It is a sham union - a de facto colonial arrangement - yet independence supporters still give it credence and even a measure of respectability. That includes your devolutionist SNP leadership.
DeleteTruly desperate stuff from IFS and DF.
DeletePeople like you two are an embarrassment to Scotland.
Stop talking bullshit , and stick yer independence where the sun disnae shine ya pair o numpties.
@3:25pm,
DeleteHave tae agree with you, these two spout some serious bull!
I agree with me too! Sheer desperation from anyone who isn't me!

ReplyDeleteThe UK is already finished, some unionists don't want to realise that.. tick tock ... Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland all going different ways
ReplyDeleteWhilst England goes into the depth of right wing losership
Cry me a river.
DeleteHang on while I gush a bucket of tears...
Delete“The UK is already finished……….”
Delete🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
What a deluded fool at 5:53pm.
Dear oh dear, embarrassing or what??
North Britain will always be British.
ReplyDeleteIndeed. When Scotland is an independent state, it will still be part of an island called Great Britain. That little geographical detail won't change.
DeleteBack to your flute practice ya numpty.
