I’m disgusted that Labour couldn’t stand up for their constituents. I hope voters remember this at the ballot box and don’t get fooled by more lies.

Thy shld hav to vote for or against not abstain...so we all know (& we know anyway!) exactly whr thr priorities lie...scheming BritNat grifters operating at Scottish parliament, it's a huge democratic deficit for a start tht thy r an Eng HQ'd party...

There is absolutely no point to 'Scottish' Labour. They are there are disruptors, only.

Red Tories are shite. Led by a wannabe Slum Dog Millionaire and woman who never found a pastry she couldn't devour while needing a forklift to get off her knees while getting "honours".

They talk the talk but talk is cheap and their actions show their true colours.

Sarwar is only being kept on so that Starmer can lump everything bad upon his shoulders, before ditching him around xmas time, allowing his newest sycophant to take over as leader before the election, claiming to be a ' new broom ' sweeping away the problems caused by the previous leaders.

Seriously who? There's much ambition on the labour benches but it's not matched by talent.

I imagine their rules will be changed, & it'll be an MP this time around.

They’ve got a spineless leader so no surprise there. 😁

Sarwar has more faces than the toun clock! If they really believed in all of these things, Labour would've supported the budget. Instead, they've chosen the cowards way and will now weaponise it in an attempt to score political points and slam the SNP. Why didn't they oppose it from the outset?

I would hope enough folk are onto their little game now. They really have no choice other than to obey the boss's command or jump ship and I imagine the kudos of "power" however uninfluential + MSP salary is still too attractive to allow the latter.

I wonder who is being groomed as successor?

I've said it again and again, Labour's (incl/especially the Scottish branch) entire policy toward Scotland is that of petty spitefulness. #LabourPettyspitefulness

BBC Misreporting Scotland : Labour's decision to abstain in vote ensures the Scottish People's budget is passed. Sarwar for FM.

Marra claimed today in Holyrood that they'd ended austerity.
Bawris Sarwar made a similar claim there recently too.
they shouldn't be making such claims unchallenged...

Labour - Well below scum level.

nottheargonaut.bsky.social•3 days ago

It's not spineless,it's a deliberate attempt as part of a wider decision to undermine devolution.

Who knew Labour are Conservatives🤔

Sarwar, the branch manager, does as he's told by his boss, in England.
