This one from last week is slightly better (when Scotlab voted against Trident renewal and Labour said "lol so what?").

tdrules posted:Not sure I understand, is Cairns having a go at the rest of Labour for not agreeing with Scottish Labour on a policy? Cairns is having a go at Scottish Labour for trying to do something autonomously from UK Labour and failing utterly- they voted against Trident renewal and the Shadow Defence Secretary basically came out going "well it's not devolved so what they think doesn't matter at all", showing that Scottish Labour is a pretty useless political entity with no real autonomy- hence the leash. As for why a white dog, I have no idea.

Cairns is having a go at Scottish Labour because they did a thing and he's paid to make them look bad. Ditto the Dugdale thing, nobody actually knows what politicians are like these days, they only know what the papers tell them, so if the papers say she's a spoiled brat then by god she might as well be.

Dabir posted:Who the gently caress is a Cairns I'm curious about how defense could ever be a devolved issue. I guess it could fall on each region to raise troops and decide whether to send them into battle or not, but for something like Trident? I guess they could move all the equipment elsewhere and excuse Scotland from paying for any of it, with the promise not to counterattack if someone were to nuke Scotland.

It was during the election campaign, with labour going "well we agree with the Tories but we'll be nicer about it" and losing horribly. It's just a great metaphor, since milibands labour basically gifted the election to the Tories.

Even if that's so it's pretty bleh. Even sans context it works as a general complaint about a failure of opposition (so relevant any time pre-corbyn) he asks where it is and the other guy refers to a visual metaphor for welcoming someone, it might not be stunningly hilarious but not exactly obtuse either.

Obviously I understand what a red carpet signifies but it's pretty weaksauce unless you're rabidly anti-Labour like Cooholin - there were substantial differences between Ed and the Tories on tax and welfare. Harriet Harman's welfare bill fuckup is the only situation where this cartoon could hit the mark and that was down to the fact that she was just trying to tread water until the leadership election had completed, and we got the Corbs, so at best this cartoon was relevant for the wrong reasons for all of about 5 minutes. Not even average, never mind fantastic.

It's from when Labour abstained on the welfare bill instead of actually opposing it. I thought it was pretty good!

And why take it that far? Why not further? Devolve it to each constituency: Let Cowdenbeath constituency have a say in it because that's where poo poo will probably get made, or Dumbarton constituency because Faslane is such a boon to the area as far as jobs goes. Or is the Cowdenbeath SNP just a branch of the national party in Edinburgh? What I'm saying is that the "only a branch party" line is one of the most tedious & stupid in the SNP playbook

Devolve defense to the county level and bring back private armies under local aristocrats. Trident will be used not over an invasion, but a boundary dispute involving a hedge.
