Jim Murphy is new Scottish Labour leader.

[FiFi]

Master of understatement:

The words "No" "shit" and Sherlock" spring to mind!

 

[weepiper]

Some of the stuff coming out of todays SLab conference really has you with your head in your hands. Take this little gem from David Hamilton where he refers to the First Minister of Scotland as a 'wee lassie wi a tin helmet on'



They can't even see what's coming.

Or they can and either think they can tough it out or pick up a few tribal votes from people who admire their loyalty. Either way they're barking mad!

Love the pure feigned glesga patter tone by that labour dude - jobs fur the Boyeees n that

 

[Celyn]

Master of understatement:

That's lovely! In other news:

- Loch Lomond is a bit damp

- centipedes have several legs

- Usain Bold can run quite fast

I am just in from being bashed around by a scary big wind and I really could do with a laugh. Ooh, thank you weepiper, and thank you, Jim Murphy.

Those last four words I have never uttered before, and it's not likely I will do so again.

 

[Celyn]

This is where we are: the Labour Party talking about abandoning the West of Scotland as a lost cause...

Wow. That's very ... something. Interesting times. Well, they've taken it for granted for long enough.

I suppose Labour will hold onto some seats in Lanarkshire and Glasgow, though. Esp. Glasgow North-East.

"Wee lassie", is it? What a lovely, democratic, not-sexist-at-all thing to say.

Sturgeon won't be worried about shite like that...she's had a massive boost from Dave today...all that crap about telling Miliband not to do a deal with the nationalists...it's all still focused on Salmond; looks like they've concluded that Sturgeon does not repel voters at all.

Speaking at an event to mark two months until polling day, Mr Cameron said: "If you thought the worst outcome in this election is a Labour government led by Ed Miliband, think again.

"You could end up with a Labour government led by Ed Miliband, propped up by Alex Salmond and the Scottish National Party.

I think she presents the tories with a problem.

Whilst on the subject of Dave's anti-SNP ranting, this took my eye..

 

[co-op]

Hopefully the complacents in labours taffia will get a wake up kick too

Taffia was in Wales. You mean the Murphya.

 

[Tankus]

Errr...... Exactly.......not the murphia ......the dead sheep vote also taken for granted in the other vassal state

 

[Celyn]

And, today, just how much would Jim Murphy agree with Mary Barbour?

 

[Sue]

Love the pure feigned glesga patter tone by that labour dude - jobs fur the Boyeees n that

And someone in Scottish Labour talking about 'jobs for the boys'...

 

[Sue]

Was talking to a friend about this last night. He's not very clued up on Scottish politics and said that Jim Murphy seemed pretty good when he was interviewed and didn't get my Murphy hate. Don't worry, thread, had a bit of a rant and said friend now gets it... (And no doubt wishes he hadn't asked.)

 

[Sue]

(He's also now familiar with the use of 'heid buttons up the back'.)

 

[danny la rouge]

Jim Murphy. So bad it's worth saying twice.

 

[xslavearcx]

I'm pretty much liking any post that articulates in any way Jim murphys wank-ness

 

[Sue]

Jim Murphy. So bad it's worth saying twice.

It's Sunday morning and I'm hungover. Believe me, once is more than enough.

Still, interesting to see that the uninitiated think Murphy comes across as reasonable, slick and *left wing*.

I think Murphy hate probably isn't widely shared by non politicos. He probably wasn't known until recently by most. And he's done his best- aided by the media, who are presenting him as The Messiah - to reinvent himself. The reinvention is probably all the general public know.

This exactly. My friend admitted he'd only heard of him very recently and, not knowing any of the granny-selling back story, thought he came across v well.

The cybernats on twitter are having a field day with Murphy. He's given them so many hostages to fortune over the years that there is plenty of material to work with.

I remember when glue sniffing was all the rage. And I can remember whether I tried it or not.

Shocking, a death wish?

good to see jim destroying a once proud party

 

[Sue]

Tbf, not sure he can take all the credit for that...

oh, sure he's had some help. but he's merrily banging in the nails on that coffin lid.

I'd post a Tigerlilies youtube about now if I wasn't on my phone.

I enjoyed Miliband's statement yesterday about the SNP and the Tories being in cahoots. Reassuringly barking.

It reminded me of the months of negativity from the no campaign which was Labour in cahoots with the Tories. Oh wait!

 

[danny la rouge]

Tories are vermin, but I have to admit them shouting out "SNP gain" every time a Scottish Labour MP gets up to speak is amusing.
