I’m the chair of the CLP and we did not invite you to speak.
It's apt that you'd refer to a witch hunt,
@coyleneil
.
I'm sorry you're still bitter that your own CLP invited me to speak about open selections last year.
Democracy is a wonderful thing. If local members want someone else to represent them, just accept it with good grace.

I ran into the chapel in Westminster after the 2017 terror attack. David Amess was in there giving a tour to constituents. He was extremely kind to me and my colleague in those first few disorientating minutes and of course for the next few hours we were locked in.

I’ve been angry since I read this. Because their song sheet never changes. Endless promises, no delivery, blame England and wriggle out of it every time. And repeat. Lazy, shitty politics.

The first five words explain why Scotland’s public services are in the gutter. The most powerful position in the most powerful devolved parliament in Western Europe and they only want to use it as a stepping stone to independence, not to change what they can now for Scots
This election is about independence, who is best equipped, and who has the best plan to achieve it. It is also about the society we want Scotland to be – where tolerance is the ruling ethic, poverty becomes history, equality of opportunity is the birth right of every child. /1

All appear on Corbyn's eight-strong Dissolution Honours list, obtained by The Sunday Times. Vetting begins soon

I have met people who say they work for the SNP and on closer questioning reveal they actually work for the civil service. This would never happen in Whitehall.
And this is the problem. The U.K. politicians, the media and the civil service are all pals together. Same schools, some universities, same circles. It is a bubble which prevents proper scrutiny and accountability.

I've been critical of SNP's domestic policy agenda. But that stops for next 6 weeks. SNP is only pro indy party that can win a FPTP election. It has some brilliant candidates & strong policies on reserved issues. All hands to the pump.
