Corgis love bread. And Puro

Huh, Andy Burnham is in our courtyard.

Although we're opposite his office, so not entirely surprising.

Go down and say hello, he was the only vaguely big name not to turn on Corbyn. Might be a weather vane but at least he saw which way the wind was blowing, accepted it & got on with it.

the answer is not to get a left wing person in charge because there are apparently too many left wing parties already hoovering up the substantial left wing support so pick a moderate centrist

So who is likely to be the next leader of ScotLab?

At the moment it looks like Anas Sarwar (son of Mohammad Sarwar, Britain's first Muslim MP, who has since been Governor of Punjab), probably one of the most notable names to lose their seat in 2015 to be parachuted into Holyrood in 2016 & a former high heidyin at Progress, Richard Leonard, a member of Campaign for Socialism and a long-time trade unionist for the GMB who also only got elected to Holyrood in 2016, & Alex Rowley, Deputy Leader under Kez, who has been an MSP since 2014. Generally regarded as more open to Corbyn than Kez was, & was General Secretary of Scottish Labour in the late 90s. His daughter Danielle is a Labour MP.

Those are the 3 names the talk is coalescing around, Rowley seems the least likely of the 3 to have much of a base but he could well end up being the "compromise" candidate. Whoever it is needs to stay in the job for more than 3 years though.

There are a few MSPs like Neil Findlay & Richard Leonard, & a couple of the new MPs are also on the left (Gaffney & Rowley being the first names to come to mind, there might be a third). The problem is basically the same as at Westminster though, the Blair/Brown faction did a really good job of getting their people elected regardless of talent.

To be fair, he's clearly quoting the Times (who I guess called him that) and criticising them for that.

There's plenty to criticise the deeply mentally ill Stuart Campbell for without making poo poo up.

How strange that nobody sees the wonder in one another
In rare good news times, that guy that the Home Office told to get out has now been told he can stay and it was all a big mistake. Whoops.

I wonder how many other mistakes* are being made and not fixed without that big publicity spotlight and obvious terrible PR of kicking out a white guy who is "as British as they come".
