Just a week ago Anas Sarwar was telling one and all that his boss's plan for a new publicly owned Great British Energy would generate and sell renewable energy, like the publicly owned energy companies that are found in other European countries, and Labour's plan would create tens of thousands of jobs in Scotland.Good Morning Scotland, Starmer admitted the new publicly-owned company would be an"investment vehicle" to pump public money into the private sector.
A new PFI scheme is not at all what Anas Sarwar was claiming just a few days ago. But it seems that, as usual, the branch manager was talking way above his pay grade. As Green co-leader Lorna Slater said: “After today’s U-turn from Keir Starmer it’s hard to tell who has more disregard for – the people of Scotland or his colleagues in Scottish Labour.
"Vote Labour for a new PFI wheeze" might not be a catchy election slogan, but it's far more accurate than anything Starmer or Sarwar were spouting this morning.It's not going well for Luke Graham, the Tory candidate for the Perth and Kinross-shire constituency. At a campaign event in Perth, Graham attracted the ire of some in the audience by attempting to deploy the old canard that the SNP"hate the English".
Graham denied he'd said any such thing. While it is indeed true that he had not used the exact term"anti-English", it was blatantly obvious what he had been insinuating.This piece is an extract from today’s REAL Scottish Politics newsletter, which is emailed out at 7pm every weekday with a round-up of the day's top stories and exclusive analysis from the Wee Ginger Dug.
