I'm glad unionists are trying to protect Murphy though, because him continuing to lead Labour after defeat would be a pure gift. As for "ritual humiliation", don't feel sorry for Murphy, not in the slightest. If roles were reversed he would pummel the SNP remorselessly. Only a few months ago he was boasting how easy it was for him to get the best of the SNP, back when he still believed that the fawning media heralded sure success. Most of all this man was a cheerleader for war under Blair. I will never ever feel sorry for him, not in the slightest.

Bear with me. <br /><br />If Jim loses his seat and Labour is wiped out, or almost wiped out in Scotland, he could probably disappear off into obscurity and we may never hear from him again. If by some quirk of fate he keeps his seat but all (or almost all) of the rest lose theirs, it would be obvious that he has been putting so much of his energy into saving his own skin. <br /><br />Just imagine his reception every time he stands up in Westminster. After all he did promise that he wouldn't lose a single seat, and obviously East Renfrewshire is the single seat that he most wants not to lose. <br /><br />If he thinks enough about this possible outcome he may just want to throw in the towel now. It wouldn't look too good to be your party's sole survivor.Eppynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-3887320595067067062015-04-30T17:32:32.246+01:002015-04-30T17:32:32.246+01:00All 'scottish' Labour have to go with a bi...All 'scottish' Labour have to go with a bit of luck.<br />Who'd have thought this on 19th September.<br /><br /> Even one bad apple spoils the barrel and you can't get much more rotten than that shower of shit.<br />I suspected that Murphy was a tory plant then I realised the lot of them are actually just the 'Westminster Party' and they're all in it 'together'.<br />Hell mend them ,I really hope this will happen.<br /><br />They would only pollute and contaminate Holyrood with their poison.ThomasPotterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07988181694826109700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-39026595259460721382015-04-30T16:26:49.895+01:002015-04-30T16:26:49.895+01:00I doubt it - the arithmetic is stacked against her...I doubt it - the arithmetic is stacked against her.
