Nicola Sturgeon has branded Labour a "pale imitation" of the Tories and called on Sir Keir Starmer to "find a backbone" and stand for something.
The former Scottish first minister refused to accept it was a given the SNP will lose seats to Labour at the next general election, as current polling predicts.
Speaking to broadcaster Iain Dale at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, she said there was "no point" in an opposition party that does not oppose the government.
Ms Sturgeon said: "I have spent my life opposing Tory governments who have never done anything good for Scotland. But what's the point in a Labour Party that is just a pale imitation of the Conservatives?
"Every time you hear Keir Starmer open his mouth right now he seems to be at pains to agree with what the Tories are doing or to reduce the difference between them.
Shammer does stand for something, the unprincipled pursuit of powerNicola Sturgeon knows the score.

Things Starmer can find? A lost dog. Things Starmer can't find? A backbone, policies that reflect actual Labour values, etc.
I'm shocked SHOCKED.i don't think we've had this yet Keir Starmer joined secretive CIA-linked group while serving in Corbyn’s shadow cabinet
James Schneider, who was Corbyn’s spokesman while he was leader, told Declassified: “Starmer didn’t inform us that he was joining the Trilateral Commission while serving in the shadow cabinet. If he had, we would have put a stop to it, like we did when he tried to take an inappropriate outside job with city law firm Mischon de Reya while shadow Brexit secretary.”
Schneider added: “Membership of the Trilateral Commission, a body dedicated to promoting corporate power, was plainly incompatible with Labour’s then-stated policies of redistributing wealth and power from the few to the many.”
When asked if he was surprised to discover that Starmer had joined the group without informing Corbyn’s team, Schneider replied: “No. Dishonesty is Keir Starmer’s hallmark.”
John McDonnell made an amusing Urbanesque comment about that:View attachment 387097

As somebody who has just lost his job so that a venture capital company can get their desired ROI, I might quibble with this statement.

I’ve got to go for Colin Firth because he played Mark Darcy, the human-rights lawyer in Bridget Jones’s Diary. There’s been this rumour going on for years that he’s modelled on me – and the honest answer is, I don’t know.'
