The Bill that is being rejected by every party at Holyrood, except the Conservatives? Correct. The fact that Labour are objecting to it is strange as Richard Leonard on Sunday was suggesting that all parties should be in this negotiation as he could see merit in retaining most of the powers in dispute at UK level. Almost agreeing with his Welsh colleagues. Many politicians in Scotland believe Mike Russell would do a deal but is being held back by the Murrells.

I think it's more to do with Westminster setting what is the modus operandi that is annoying Holyrood? No consultation from the devolved governments to work towards an agreed framework?

If it was voted for again tomorrow it would be a Leave in Scotland also, but we have these political schizophrenics digging in their heels and ramming their heads in the sand. Welsh Labour signed up, but not this mob. Liberals would sell their kids to be under the yoke of Brussels, as would the joker Greens, it's like a fatal attraction for these zealots. SNP refuse to recognise that they are part of a UK that voted leave. To accede to anything the sovereign parliament in London wants would be to undermine their ref2 Euro fantasy and face up to reality.

If Labour has any aspirations of being the next UK Government then it is time for them to think and act as a UK party. Many regions of the UK vote differently on a range of issues, its called democracy. Once the Tories get going and fully expose Nicola's incompetence with current farm subsidy payments then she will be found out for what she really is....a one policy politician. Doesn't matter which topic you choose the current SNP Government at Holyrood has been found wanting, health, education, police etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
