An independent Scottish Labour party, just for Scotland? It's not just possible, it's vital - for our values & for Scotland.

The conversation is starting. Come and join it. See below.

The conversation continues. Great to discuss an independent Scottish Labour party - just for Scotland - on @HolyroodSources. Stay tuned for the episode in the coming weeks.

Good luck to Scottish Labour candidates Nurul Hoque Ali and Heather Doran in tomorrow's by-elections.

To all our members and supporters: if you can spare some time tomorrow, help us get the vote out. Every conversation counts!

The SNP “win because they’re Scottish, not because they’re good.”

Watch @akmaciver on @HolyroodSources on why Scottish Labour would fare better as a separate party.

(And why social democrats would want Scotland to remain in a redistributive & dynamic union of solidarity.)

[Holyrood Sources @HolyroodSources]

The SNP can be unpopular in government and still win elections.

Why? Because many voters are answering a different question entirely: who speaks for Scotland?

Is taking on independence the key to convincing voters?

We’re definitely open to a name change if that’s what the party chooses.*

@AlistairPhilpot suggests ‘Solidarity’. Any other suggestions?

*(Although we’re aiming to appeal to a broad church by focussing the aims tightly on becoming a party just for Scotland.)

[Alistair Philpot @AlistairPhilpot]

@JustForScotland Would suggest that if Scottish Labour separates it should change it's name otherwise it will still be associated with UK Labour. Solidarity would be a good alternative name.

Scotland’s NHS, roads & railways, schools & hospitals are too important for us to continue as before. We must break the link between the electoral fortunes of the UK & Scottish parties.

The conversation is starting. Come & join it, whatever your views.

Brian Wilson, former MP & Minister under Blair: "Scottish Labour should act decisively upon the central lesson learned and for which I have long argued. It is to become an autonomous party which is not constantly bound by the constraints of dual identity."

We agree with these words from 2020:

"Scottish Labour’s long-term losing streak will continue unless we make epic changes. [...] ScotLab must stand or fall by its own decisions. We continue at the mercy of the UK party's distant structures or become a party in our own right."

.@murdo_fraser was almost right in 2011. We’ve tweaked his quote:

“There’s a lot of interest in [centre-left] values among people in Scotland but they don't vote [Scottish Labour].” We need “a new progressive centre-[left] party with Scottish identity.”

It’ll never catch on 😉

[Make Scottish Labour Scottish. @JustForScotland]

Thank you to everyone who’s reached out today. The response has been overwhelming (in a good way!). If you don’t hear back for a day or two, rest assured you will. Your support is invaluable. Thank you.

[Make Scottish Labour Scottish. @JustForScotland]

We believe in the union, in devolution, and in Scotland. None of these are in conflict. Plenty other countries have similar arrangements.

We must be confident in our beliefs and arguments: unionism is entirely compatible with passion for devolution.

The @Daily_Record's View: "Scottish Labour must break from UK branch so not to be judged on Starmer's mistakes."

Let's get the conversation started.
