ooer missus, time to duck and cover, methinks this might get messy.

Happy valentines day Wendy.

Labour in Scotland has got a [bold][italic]long[/italic][/bold] way to go before it gets back in tune with the electorate - but Labour in Westminster has even further to go. ______________ Scotsgait, an independent internet community for Scotland

"Rats fighting in a sack" come to mind .

The only community in Scotland "let down" by Alex Salmond is the Labour Party!

....prompted a retaliatory attack yesterday from a leading Scottish Labour MP: [italic]"Out on the streets, there's no enthusiasm for the Scottish Parliament - there's even more contempt for MSPs than there is for MPs. "[/italic] Another Westminster labour numpty who still can't tell the Scottish Labour Party and the Scottish Parliament apart. But I'm always ahppy to help these halfwits out, and heres how that statement should read: [italic]"Out on the streets, there's no enthusiasm for the Scottish Labour Party - there's even more contempt forScottish Labour MSPs than there is for Westminster Labour MPs. "[/italic]

Does the panel think that Wendy has the strength of leadership to outflank her Westmonster buddies? My view - very doubtful, I believe the knives are far sharper, numerous and more used to being thrown around in London. The peg her coat is on is getting shooglier and shooglier.

[bold]Constitutional Commission Chairs..... [/bold] Wait til the music stops....then the tantrums really begin.... have you seen a lib den 'spit the dummy'...very messy

[quote]That prompted a retaliatory attack yesterday from a leading Scottish Labour MP: "[bold]Out on the streets[/bold] , there's no enthusiasm for the Scottish Parliament[/quote] Dear anonymous Labour MP, let me take you by the hand and show you the streets of London. Perhaps you'll change your mind. (Lyrics copyright Ralph McChattering) From the streets of Broadstairs to the streets of Berwick, the envy and admiration (grudging or genuine) for what the SNP has achieved in 8 short months is dramatic. So anonymous Labour MP, time you got out more and listened to the people. You may not learn much but at least it will keep you off the streets.

why does the MP feel the need to be anonymous? Surely if the MP knows this to be the case surely he should speak out without fear. The fact that he does not want to give his name seems to suggest that he knows that he is going to be in a lot of trouble if he does. That then makes me ask why would he be in trouble. Is itperhaps the case that while labour at westminster are making noises about it being a good idea for more devolution that in fact they have no intention of delivering. The fact that 71 percent of people think the scottish parliament is looking after them seems to suggest that this anonymous person is in fact out of touch with the electorate in scotland. For this person to say that people like msps less than mps shows labour havent got a clue.

Aww isn't it wonderful the way Wendy is fighting for the interests of the Scottish people, I think that we have misjudged her. She is really the only person is Scotland who can effectively fight for Scottish interests at Westminster, we should all support her. [italic] /sarcasm. [/italic]

The labour party in Scotland. Arsonists, drunks, halfwits and now petty fraudsters and benders of the truth. Kier Hardy must be doing 10,000 rpm in his grave.

That's another fine mess you've gotten [bold]someone[/bold] else into Mr Broon...... Broon the Oliver Hardy of Politics Dougie Alexander would make a fine Stan Laurel.....

Wonder what Annabelle Goldie is thinking now after the invisible man's remark? Maybe get out while the going's reasonably good....

So, we have 3 labour parties now. The Council Labour party - happy to get on with local government without having their hands tied by "ringfencing". The BIG Labour party - still clinging on to an imperial past and determined not to let Scotland have any more say in how it is governed lest it foments English (i.e. Tory) nationalism. And Poor Wendy Labour party. Caught in the middle and looking increasingly directionless.

DJ posted this in yesterday's thread, about half an hour ago. [quote]I dont really understand why the nats have difficulty coming to grips with this. The Labour party is a coalition of groups bound together with a single name. They tend to follow like sheep when led well. They are currently being led badly if at all. Therefore they manage to face different directions at the same time, because they dont have anyone telling them what to think. The idea that this is a conspiracy from anyone between Broonie himself, Alexander, London, take your pick is assuming a degree of organisational and intellectual coherence which the Labour party does not possess and I [wonder] why anyone thinks they do. This kind of incomprehensible mix of views on the same topic will die down if Wendy gets the boot and someone (who? No idea) is able to assert their authority. Perhaps they should advertise for a new leader "lost sheep in need of shepherd". Seems a reasonable analysis.[/quote]I have a sneaky suspicion he's bang on the money,

"The MP, who spoke on condition of anonymity" Hasn't he the guts to disclose his identity!

Poor Wendy. Reviled by all, including , most of all apparently, her own party!

As predicted, Labour are disintegrating, and on the way down the garbage shoot screaming "To hell with Scotland!"

Another day, another mystery source from the Herald, this really is gutter journalism and not worthy of informed comment. However... What rankles me is that there is obviously a debate going on in Scottish labour about this (as any mature democratic party does) but it is being made out as civil war. Of course would this debate happen under Genralismo Salmondo and the the SNP - no. No openess of thought allowed, no debate - it's Eck's way or the highway.

For years the Labour Sleaze and Corruption Party treated the people of Scotland with contempt sure in the knowledge that the idiots who voted for them would have voted for a sheep wearing a red rosette. The presided over nepotism, cronyism and down right fraud. Now, unable to take in that they are no longer in power and unable to come to terms with an excellent Scottish government, they are about to rip themselves usunder. Not a moment too soon.

"[bold]Out on the streets, there's no enthusiasm for the Scottish Parliament - there's even more contempt for MSPs than there is for MPs[/bold] . " What street has he been on then? None that I've been on. I think he (whoever he is) musta been talking to Billy Connelly. I have yet to meet anyone with a bad word to say about Holyrood. And that's with most of the laws being passed by the then Labour administration. Oh, and I doubt if it is humanly possible to to have more contempt for anyone than the average MP, so again, get out and meet people mate and find out what we are really saying. Patronising pratt! (It's not that wee Cairns fella again is it? Sounds like the sort of McTosh he would McSpout.)

[quote]Ms Alexander has been attempting to get back on the front foot in recent days following the Electoral Commission's decision last week not to call in the police over an [bold]illegal[/bold] donation to her leadership campaign.[/quote] At last a journalist who knows the right word.

How ya gonna keep 'em down on the farm After they've seen the M1 Broadway

[quote]No openess of thought allowed, no debate - it's Eck's way or the highway.[/quote]So speaks one who knows sod-all about the SNP or even about democracy. As someone who was once thrown out of the SNP for being too left-wing (or something like that), Alex Salmond is remarkably tolerant of a wide variety of opinion within the party. He once said it was like herding cats, but his feline aggregatory skills are something the Labour apparatchiks can only dream about. Genuine unity in pursuit of a common goal, followed for its own sake rather than in hope of personal advancement? Labour hacks can't imagine this. They don't even recognise it when it's in front of them in Holyrood.

How ya gonna keep 'em down on the farm After they've seen the M1 Broadway

Perhaps the labour MP wants to remain anonymous because he's not sure in which direction to jump.

[quote]What rankles me is that there is obviously a debate going on in Scottish labour about this (as any mature democratic party does) but it is being made out as civil war. [/quote] I tend to agree that 'Civil War' is a bit immotive but you have to agree that the debate is far from 'mature'. When MP's start giving off-the-record statements and the cooncils openly disagree with the SLAB party line. Washing dirty Labour laundry in public is never a good idea.

Will Wendy head back to the bunker again ? I mean she only just reappeared after the EC judgement.

morag did you get a look at this http://www.realmofsc otland.com/View_Scot land-UN-Papers.aspx? id=2

There I was, putting on my wellies and my raincoat, getting ready to hunt down the anonymous Labour MP and expose him or her, when out of the blue at the end of the article a bombshell is dropped. No self-respecting sleuth can pass up the challenge now before us. No more wasting of time chasing down numpty Westminster MP's who have not the courage nor ethics to take ownership of the knife placed in Wendy's back. No more seeking of that elusive mole still leaking with impunity from the Labour benches No sir, we know have a quest worthy of the name. [quote]A [bold]friend of Ms Alexander[/bold] last night sought to play down the differences within the party. "Everyone in the Labour Party agrees Labour's priority has to be about listening to voters and standing up for communities let down by Alex Salmond," he said.[/quote] Wendy has a friend, a real friend, and a Labour friend at that. Now who could that be? Not an MP, Not an MSP, not a Labour Councillor, so who? Tally-ho the hunt is on!!

I know who it is I know who it is I know who it is...... la la la la. and guess what im not telling.

la la la la la

' a friend of Ms Alexander last night sought to play down the differences within the party. "Everyone in the Labour Party agrees Labour's priority has to be about listening to voters and standing up for communities let down by Alex Salmond' Thats rich!, what about the 8 years Labour were in power in Holyrood, or the 50 odd years that Labour have had a death grip over Scottish councils. They always talk about taking people out of poverty and helping communities, but its just that,all talk! Labour have only helped themselves and let Scotland down badly The chickens are now coming home to roost as the people now see a viable alternative in the SNP Government, who are standing up for Scotland

doonhammer all the clues are there............... .................... .............. just read back all the stories that have come out................. ..............

At the same time Wendy is let of the hook this man is charged for having the afront to be in fear for his life from a knife attacker http://tinyurl.com/2 36bt8 No wonder the neds think they can be professional jakies. The law has more respect for them that way. I recommend all JP's, Solicitors and Judges be forced to live on a scheme for 3 months as part of their training. tell them to engage with the community and let them see the abuse theyll get. It may help their "cosseted" view of the world. Karin. Wha is it?

fifth columnists R US.................. .................... ........ la la la la la.

Everyone should contact the local pub in the mans area and buy the man a pint! Shocking double standards in our judicial system.

juan go back over all the stories that have come out and you will know it will jump out at you. I cant say anymore.

Labour MSP's must be getting fed up being told by London what to do Wendy was London's choice, with other MSP's being told not to stand against her. Now she is a liabilty. I can see it getting really messy, I suspect that some Labour MSP's will want to dump Wendy and make a fresh start and start working for Scotland and cooperate better in Holyrood or some will jump ship all together and set up a seperate party. There is no love lost now between Westminster Labour and Holyrood Labour, with a few in Scottish Labour holding a big grudge against London Labour for a period of miss management which stems back to before the may elections!

Karin. Got it. Stephen Nicol? Should he not be sending her flooers ,it's valentines day? "A friend of Ms Alexander last night sought to play down the differences within the party. "Everyone in the Labour Party agrees Labour's priority has to be about listening to voters and standing up for communities let down by Alex Salmond," he said."

it really is time for mr brown to tell the british media he supports further devolved power to scotland, and then to advise what they are. rather than send choirboy cairns out on a sniping mission to feel the lay of the land. pigs might fly before that happens. brown is conniving and devious, and he has 300 mps in england who would be up in arms, so mixed messages and waffle about wendy and put it off as a minor issue is the only approach he can take. if brown did not say he wanted the committee turned into a talk fest, which journalists were told, then publicly release the secret minutes and prove he is not a liar. oops another pig in the air there. choirboy cairns is merely confirming the initial analysis.

Wendy Alexander is currently under investigation by the Electoral Commission and the Strathclyde POlice over the £ 12000 fraud scandal, where Labour took the money from businessmen, who were unaware that it was for Wendy Alexanders election fund in 2003 No w Wendy Alexander is becoming irrelevant to Labour in Westminster I would say her position is untenable

jaun try again............... .................... .................... .....

The apathetic London centered attitudes of Scottish MP's and their Hollyrood cohorts is one of the main reasons the SNP is in power now.

No-one here has an appetite for an expensive talking shop, rubber stamping policy sent up from Central HQ in London. The fact that there seems to be a growing enthusiasm for the parliament now is because people see the possibilities of it actaully achieving real change for the better in Scotland.

"Senior Scottish Labour MP" is usually Herald-speak for Brian Donohoe, Central Ayrshire, who has a track record of these sorts of comments. I've never worked out, however, who apart from Donohoe himself (and the non-lamented Catherine MacLeod) regards Donohoe as "senior".

How can a man who only pays flying visits to Scotland say we have no appetite for the parliament? Every day on this forum I hear people talking about it more than westmonster. I rather suspect this is labours attempt to smear the influence the parliament as Labour are no longer in charge of it.When it was pretty much ignored by the populus, Labour were in charge and merely used it as a rubber stamp authority. People asked whats the point of that! Now it is not attached to the party machine in westmonster it is making decent decisions on the behalf of the people here (not westminster) Aye David. All your MSP's may be viewed as irrelevant as they spout only your more senior views (the westminster who's boss routine) Thankfully for the westminster MP's the Parliament and the "Sleazy" Labours MSPs have been attracting fire since last may , meanwhile you lot get pretty much of the hook. TIME TO FOCUS ON THE INCREASINGLY IRRELEVANT WESTMINSTER I THINK! AND THE PRIESTS OF SLEAZE THEY EMPLOY ON HMS GRAVY TRAIN

yes Traquir the link is for real and maybe now you will understand how completely and utterly labour and the tories told wopping big porkies. they are still doing it. They never at anytime intended us to have a parliament so thats why they are still pssn about with devolution. it wisnae their idea.

and yes Traquir ask yourelf why no one well hardly anyone knows this? then ask yourself why i get so annoyed at newspapers.

Two things which don't seem to make sense here I can't think of a snr slab mp, except those in the cabinet itself And a slab mp who shy's away from publicity ? As someone once said, that dog don't hunt
