Where is English Labour's 'fresh start', Viceroy Murray?

The Viceroy is wishing his subjects a Happy New Year and admits he quite likes January because “it presents the opportunity for a fresh start.”

Does he have any idea how out of touch he sounds? Is the Viceroy shivering in a cold flat because he can’t afford to switch on the heat like thousands of pensioners because Labour snatched their paltry winter fuel allowance? The Scottish health service is currently coping with 3 times more flu cases than England because, duh, it’s colder up here.

Neither the Viceroy nor any of the other 36 Scottish Labour MPs voted to scrap the cruel 2-child benefit cap. Nor did they defend the 7 Labour MPs who did and then were excommunicated from the Church of English Labour by Archbishop Starmer.

Does the Viceroy realise that even before the Scottish Child Payment (£26.70 per child per week) has had a chance to kick in, 90 places in England and Wales have higher child poverty than any part of Scotland?

The Viceroy has the gall to blame the Scottish Administration for “worsening public services” and for everything in the failing UK going to pot. It’s easy to fault the colonial SNP administration when it doesn’t have the powers of a sovereign government to do, well, anything. It can’t create money or set interest rates. It can’t dictate energy policy or renationalise its resources currently in the hands of foreign corporations and governments. It can’t rid itself of leaky nuclear weapons that are polluting Scotland’s waterways and land. It can’t alleviate poverty because it sends all its money to London and gets less than half back. But sure, Viceroy, it’s all Scotland’s fault.

The idea that Anas Sarwar, English Labour’s Scottish satrap, would be an improvement, is hilarious.

Tell us instead, Viceroy, how that ‘fresh start’ English Labour promised is going?

The UK economy is moribund under the stunningly incompetent Rachel Reeves who doesn’t understand that what’s needed is not less, but more, public spending on the things that create real wealth like the NHS. Instead, she’s genuflecting to the parasitic City of London, prioritising its greed over the public welfare.

Why the hell she wanted to be Chancellor in the first place beats me. She doesn’t understand how to use the power she has. She could easily order the Bank of England to 1) create the money desperately needed to fund public services and 2) lower interest rates so people can afford their mortgages and businesses can invest. She won’t because she knows who butters her bread.

61% of the electorate are dissatisfied with Sir Keir’s regime. His net satisfaction score is -34 and overall dissatisfaction with English Labour is 70%.

The UK is tanking, Viceroy. Everyone can see it apart from you. In order to, as you put it, “fundamentally transform Scotland for the better,” Scotland needs to slip the surly bonds of this thieving union.

And since our useless political leaders won’t do it for us, we the Scottish People must take things into our own hands. As a first step, please sign this petition demanding that the Scottish Parliament implement the ICCPR into Scottish law.
