Rossy Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Apparently pointing out that Scotland has the best performing NHS is, 'celebrating the English NHS crisis'. http://www.scotsman.com/news/politics/fmqs-sturgeon-accused-of-celebrating-english-nhs-crisis-1-4337954 What a pathetic accusation. What a pathetic headline and story, actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orraloon Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I used to think that she was just a bit young and naive, but I am now coming around to the conclusion that she is just really, really thick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The disaster for Dugdale and Davidson is to have newspaper headlines that reflect the truth....that actually the Scottish NHS outperforms the rest of the UK. So instead they concoct shrill, lunatic accusations that bizarrely get repeated in the Scottish press. Pathetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlfieMoon Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 She's just been put back in her box by her leader as well. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-38599780 Her new strategy just seems to be making up plans that can only be implemented by Westminster - without having consulted with her superiors. If I thought she was smart enough you could argue that she's trying to influence wider-UK Labour policy but I don't think she's that intelligent. Maybe she's trying to convince people that it's not a branch office but as a result she is in fact proving exactly that it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErsatzThistle Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 If you think Dugdale is a fool wait until Anas Sarwar inevitably takes over from her. Then the comedy will really begin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PapofGlencoe Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 See if they actually came up with policies??. What are their flagship policies?? They've been out of power for years and literally have none that anyone casually interested could name. It's unbelievable. No message.

That and the opposite from whatever the SNP say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true, i completely forgot about that. Bet 1 in 10 people would be able to remember it. Call me a tory as well but just putting 1p on doesn't really tell me what their priority is either. I'm not all that against cutting back in some areas and spending more on others. These incremental budgets are bad practice. Almost like any cut at all means you must be Tory. It's bollocks.

I thought they were only talking about that until the ability to set bands and rates was devolved. I thought their tax policy was to increase the higher rate to 50%. I think the Lib Dems might have been talking about a 1p rise to the basic rate to fund education. Just checked and they were proposing both.

buckielugger Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I like Kezia..i wouldn't vote for her party with the policies and methods it espouses (it would need to back independence to have a chance of my vote)..but Kezia seems a nice enough girl and shouldn't have personal upset commented on.

Flure Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I recall Kezia Dugdale in the run up to indyref1. I thought she was really good (although I disagreed with her) and thought she'd make a great politician in the future. I fear she was pushed to the fore too soon. And she's been found wanting. Whether this kills her political career, as I think it might, remains to be seen. What impact her political life has had on her personal life is anyone's guess, but one thing's for sure. It's none of our business. I wish them both all the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
