So it was a sair one and we have taken it with good grace. There’s plenty time to reflect, learn and change tack because I remain of the view we are in a hugely strong position. But we need to heed the wake-up call. I’ve proven I will defend my party to my last breath, but I think the SNP looks like we’ve forgotten how to listen.
In the absence of a credible legal route to get to a referendum and actually deliver independence it is just navel-gazing. If there is no robust route to get there, the discussion falls at the first hurdle and they’re open to other offers. Also in the leadership motion, 6a-c outlines some of the things we can unilaterally do should anti-democratic Tory intransigence be continued after the election, whoever sits in Downing Street.
It will be about a strong voice for Scotland to keep a potential Labour government honest, because we’re trusted to put Scotland first in a way nobody else is. I want Scotland’s government to be decided by Scotland’s votes, but until we’re out of the rotten Westminster system we need to use that forum to show how we could do better, and set out real action on the issues that matter to the people of Scotland.
