Scottish Labour at a crossroads again as Sarwar jumps ship

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cy078g8g2pvo

A good read from Glenn Campbell here. What could Labour do to actually earn a vote? I'd certainly attempt a UK Labour split, and also be officially neutral on independence, whilst supporting Scotland's right to choose. That should help show Ian Murray the door, and Jackie Baillie thr boot

be officially neutral on independence

An old idea but unless they embrace it their decline continues.

Having said that I'm not sure I'd vote for them again.

The SNP have not been good in some time imo. I see the need for another party to bring something. Education in particular I don't believe has been right for some time, with the exception of tuition fees. I have voted Labour in the past, I could again if they quit being red tories. But tbh, the SGP have out manuevered them already. Annihilation is very much a possibility for them
