| 5. Author: Buspasspar Date: Mon 9th Feb 2026. 17:49 Sarwar claims that "no one" in Scottish politics has had a better relationship with Keir Starmer than he has. The Scottish Labour leader says he has worked alongside Starmer for the last five years, having "campaigned ferociously" for the PM. He says his call for Starmer to resign today causes "personal hurt and pain", but reiterates that Scotland is his first priority. Sarwaraonra Baby Post Edited (Mon 09 Feb 17:50) Reply |

Absolute bs - he knows that his branch office will get pummelled in may because of the unpopularity of his bosses down south Reply |
| 7. Author: Dave_1885 Date: Mon 9th Feb 2026. 18:40 “Scottish” Labour in full blown protection mode knowing they will now get swept away by the SNP and Reform in May. Trying to save some votes now. Its also quite funny watching the British media trying to create more SNP scandals in the run up to the election, the latest being about Stephen Flynn going to watch Scotland in the World Cup 😂 Reply |
| 8. Author: jake89 Date: Mon 9th Feb 2026. 19:20 This is being carefully orchestrated. Starmer won`t go but won`t it look good for Sarwar to be standing up for Scotland and distancing a toxic UK Labour from Scottish Labour? As soon as the Holyrood elections are over he can go back to supporting Starmer. Reply |

| 12. Author: LochgellyAlbert Date: Mon 9th Feb 2026. 22:59 jake89, Mon 9 Feb 19:20 No such organisation as "Scottish " Labour! Reply |
| 13. Author: jake89 Date: Tue 10th Feb 2026. 11:16 LochgellyAlbert, Mon 9 Feb 22:59 True, they are just an accounting unit but it seems Anas is trying to distance his band of merry men from the London lot. Reply |
| 14. Author: wee eck Date: Tue 10th Feb 2026. 11:23 You mean Anas wants Scottish Labour to be `independent`? Surely not! Reply |
| 15. Author: hurricane_jimmy Date: Tue 10th Feb 2026. 11:31 Always said that Labour could do ok for themselves if they became pro-Independence... Likewise, the SNP should attack Labour and LibDems for abandoning core values in favour of British Nationalism...and they`ve really failed on taking that line Reply |
| 16. Author: buffy Date: Tue 10th Feb 2026. 11:33 Did anyone see the episode of Shetland where there was a character named Sarwar? He was a solicitor working on behalf of a dodgy crime boss in Glasgow. The character was a sleekit messenger boy. Just wondering who they based it on 😉 ”Buffy’s Buns are the finest in Fife”, J. Spence 2019” Reply |
| 17. Author: jake89 Date: Tue 10th Feb 2026. 15:58 buffy, Tue 10 Feb 11:33 I`ve seen that. I`m sure there were some tongues placed firmly in cheeks! Reply |
| 18. Author: jake89 Date: Tue 10th Feb 2026. 16:01 hurricane_jimmy, Tue 10 Feb 11:31 They aren`t though. They can split off from UK Labour but they`ll likely remain unionists. If/when Scotland gains independence it can be run by whichever party is elected. In reality we wouldn`t need the SNP or Alba in an independent Scotland. We`d either have the current parties we`d have a mix of left, centrist and right parties. Reply |
| 19. Author: LochgellyAlbert Date: Wed 11th Feb 2026. 14:36 So he`s pretty isolated with the house jocks getting behind Starmer! Reply |
| 20. Author: wee eck Date: Wed 11th Feb 2026. 16:12 Wait a minute - `Anas Sarwar, the Scottish Labour leader, has agreed that Keir Starmer can campaign for Labour in the Holyrood elections only days after calling for the prime minister to resign. In a marked change of position, Sarwar said Starmer and other UK cabinet ministers were welcome to support Scottish Labour’s faltering bid to win the May election but only if they demonstrated how the UK government was improving lives in Scotland.` (The Guardian} That`s the kind of decisiveness we`re looking for in a First Minister!
