So McDonnell's lies were "pretty mild considering"? Maybe from where you're sitting.

He said Labour were the only true anti-austerity party now. Another lie. So I imagine what Drew meant was "he said the SNP were NOT anti austerity". A simple typo.

I've lost all faith in these two - Corbyn & McDonnell - in the past couple days of bare-faced lying. It just may have been a good idea to seek consensus and alliance with like minded parties where you can - and you yourself mention the Greens, who played an excellent part in the pro-indepence campaign in Scotland last year - against the Tories and their austerity agenda. Y'know - the REAL enemy. But no, too small minded and hurting from their near-wipeout here in the General Election for that. And too "Tribal" - oh, yes. So fuck 'em. Labour clearly still do not have a clue about Scotland. Game on.

I know I've posted links to Wings Over Scotland articles before, but I really do recommend readers take a few minutes to read the one below, which explores the "basis" for McDonnell's Conference speech SNP howlers. You'll maybe begin to realise the depths of mendacity to which Scottish Labour will stoop in their efforts to try to discredit the SNP at any opportunity.:

RMT responds to SNP Trade Union Group statement on the RMT CalMac dispute.

See SNP TUG statement below. RMT responds.

General Secretary Mick Cash said;

"This statement from a group claiming to represent trade unionists makes not a single mention of support for fellow trade unionists battling to defend jobs and services and instead hides behind a barrage of EU anti-worker legislation that has no relevance at all to this dispute and which could be challenged anyway with a united campaign.

"RMT would appeal to rank and file SNP members and supporters to reject this defeatist line and stand by a workforce fighting to defend jobs, conditions, safety and lifeline ferry services against this attack. You can't claim to be anti-austerity, pro working class and pro public services and then duck the issue when jobs and services are under all out attack like on CalMac. The question to the SNP TU Goup is which side are you o?n?"

Wings Over Scotland a 'fair place?
What about Claire Lally?
A young mum who won carer of the year and went out campaigning during the ref, bringing in some of her experiences of caring for her disabled child and the challenges she and millions of others face (for the ones in the rest of the UK were are important to her also)
That odious little creep the 'reverend' Stuart Campbell you and *Poison* seem to have so much respect for sought to cause misery for her, saying she was related to an ex provost and therefor had some 'advantage' somewhere.
Yes, she was a Labour party member (not illegal up here, yet), but the rest was lies.
She stood on a stage and spoke up for her cause, describing herself as an ordinary mum which SNP campign chief, Campbell Gunn took exception too, because she was a Labour Party member.
What did that mean?
To top it off he decided to cite 'Wings Over Scotland' as a reliable source to ramp up the attack on her, and took an official line on it.
As for the Calmac situation, there is something in the Smith Commission regards not having to put certain services out to tender, but the SNP rushed it through anyway.

**The Smith Commission on further devolution concluded that “the power will be devolved to the Scottish government to allow public-sector operators to bid for rail franchises funded and specified by Scottish ministers.”**
Corbyn DID NOT LIE.
Open your eyes Drew FFS.

What about Lancashire, Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, Derbyshire, all the rest of your obviously despised " little England". Why do you group it all together? Here in Lancashire a lot of us are as far removed from any respect for the London centric government establishment as any fucker. I mean respect for getting active & achieving some sort of self determination;but don't be so sneery about some of the rest of us. I'm as pissed off, for very similar reasons as you are. I consider the Scottish, the Cornish, the Irish, the Welsh, the Liverpudlians, the whatever's my brothers & sisters in arms& would feel bereft without them.
