SO now we know the spurious reasons Westminster is serving up to justify tearing up the principles of devolution and telling uppity Scotland exactly…
Neither Labour nor the Tories could imagine a world in which another party would wrest power away in the Scottish Parliament, far less a party which supported the principle of independence, which they were convinced had all but faded away.
There are currently no indications that Labour have learned any significant lessons through their fall from grace in Scotland. So while the Scottish Government was going to court in defence of devolution, Scottish Labour were meekly accepting instructions from the UK party’s deputy leader Angela Rayner not to back a call for the devolution of employment law.
The Labour Party’s promises to stand up for Scotland lie in tatters as U-turn after U-turn show them to be more concerned with toeing the London line than actually doing … well, anything really. What inspires this knee-jerk reaction? Surely it is not that the Scottish Parliament has failed to use the limited powers it already has for the benefit of those most in need of help in this country? Indeed, the opposite is true according to an Oxford professor.
It can only be because the party leadership’s commitment to the Union prevents it from strengthening the parliament even when it is manifestly in the country’s best interests to do so.conference to navigate a route to independence given Westminster’s determination to block any chance of a second referendum.
