No indeed.

Spoilt, shameless, useless placeholder jumped-up son-of-a-millionaire brat Anas Sanwar, who can't even be bothered to pay his family wholesaler firm's lowlier employees a living wage, simply had to have his moment in the limelight, not least because it seems Labour in London was prodding him hard to go for it:




Channel 4 News

"We now have two broken governments, the SNP in Scotland and the Conservatives in Westminster."

Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer says it is "time for a fresh start in Scotland'' due to SNP "chaos and division" having an impact on the public.

Reeves really seems to be going for the Thatcher necrophiliac vote. I don't think she has a clue how bad it looks in Scotland for Scottish Labour's branch office to be publicly told what to do by a Westminster Shadow Cabinet member, let alone one led by, in her own and Anas Sarwar's terms, an unelected leader. As for her ravings about the Scottish Government's record, compare it with the demonstrably broken government she'd like to displace in Westminster, only to follow much the same policies and not risk frightening the horses:



Dutifully doing his masters' bidding, Sarwar didn't acquit himself at all well in the face of moderately robust challenging from Channel 4 News's Krishnan Guru-Murthy the other day:




MSM Monitor

Krishnan Guru-Murthy showing BBC Scotland and STV News how to challenge Anas Sarwar when the Scottish Labour leader attacks the SNP for doing something his own party has already done.

How hard is it to challenge this guy on this? It's an open goal FFS.
