Labour In Scotland (parody)

The Labour Party's Branch Office in Scotland. Parody account.

[Labour In Scotland (parody) @ScotlandLabour]

We thought Richard's interview went rather well today!

[Labour In Scotland (parody) @ScotlandLabour]

FWIW, it was so kind of @SkyNews to fabricate a quote to make it look like he got the FM's name right.

[Labour In Scotland (parody) @ScotlandLabour]

Our Head Office absolutely, definitely knows what's best for Scotland - behold! as a shadow cabinet member demonstrates his encyclopaedic knowledge by namechecking First Minister... *watches clip* ...oh.

Oh no.

[Sky News @SkyNews]

Should Nicola Sturgeon be suspended from the SNP?

"Humza Yousaf needs to get a grip of his party", says Labour's @peterkyle as he believes 'the SNP is imploding and the people of Scotland are being let down'

Management update: yes, it's a year late and we must apologise profusely...the last two years sort of fell into a rift in the space-time continuum.

Anas Sarwar has been our Branch Office High Heidyin since 27th February 2021:

Did you know, the Scottish Labour Party was once an actual political party, from 1888-1895?

Everyone already knows about Keir Hardie, but he wasn’t the only socialist on the block...so here’s a wee thread.

Meet another one of the founders: Robert Bontine Cunninghame Graham

The rest, as they say, is history.

We became a Branch Office of the Labour Party with no autonomy of our own, and we continue to work hard to prevent the devolution of further powers to the Scottish Parliament.

The current leader of our wee branch office is Richard Leonard:

We knew we'd seen a similar logo before but couldn't mind where, so we gave it the thumbs-up anyway...what was the worst that could possibly happen?

The promise of an extra packet of Abernethy biccies in the tearoom next week persuaded Jean to tell us, and OH NOOOOOoooOo

[BBC Scotland News @BBCScotlandNews]

Scottish Labour it to replace its traditional red rose emblem with a thistle as part of a rebranding exercise to update the party's image.

@shaun30629049 @meljomur @UKLabour Brilliant, isn't it?

[Labour In Scotland (parody) @ScotlandLabour]

Ambition; just not too much.

Home Rule; with no explanation of what this would actually entail other than our standard empty soundbites.

Love it, Richard...you're doing a great job of attracting voters back to us - you'll be moving in to Bute House before you know it! 💪

[Scotsman Politics @scotpolitics]

Scotland needs ambition - not independence, writes @LabourRichard https://t.co/0Zw7EeOwVz

[Labour In Scotland (parody) @ScotlandLabour]

Translation: Just hing oan for another five years while we try to get into government at Westminster, Scotland.

[Richard Leonard @LabourRichard]

Johnson‘s hard-right Brexit makes me fear for Scotland’s future, but it’s no reason to accept austerity in a separate Scotland as the least worst option.

We did such a brilliant job with women's pay equality when we ran Glasgow City Council!

We don't recommend Googling it, however.

[Scottish Labour @ScottishLabour]

Labour will transform the workplace for women in Scotland #WhenLabourWinsScotlandWins

[Labour In Scotland (parody) @ScotlandLabour]

Hi @MarkDrakeford, we'd love it if you could find some time to have a wee chat with our manager @LabourRichard about this, as it's a concept he generally struggles to understand.

[Glenn Campbell @GlennBBC]

“If the Scottish people want a referendum, it’s for them to decide”

Wales First Minister ⁦@MarkDrakeford⁩ does not think Westminster should block #indyref2

Even though he does not support 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 or 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 becoming independent

[Labour In Scotland (parody) @ScotlandLabour]

Well, this is awkward.

[Labour In Scotland (parody) @ScotlandLabour]

Not guilty, but we’ll take the credit for it 👍

[James Kelly @JamesKelly]

Come on, this can't be right. Everyone knows the SNP backed Remain thanks to #pressurefromScottishLabour

[Labour In Scotland (parody) @ScotlandLabour]

We do apologise for the attitude of our somewhat repetitive and ill-informed 'leader', who seems to have forgotten about the vote in favour of a second referendum in the Parliament he sits in.

This is so embarrassing.

[Representing Border @ITVBorderRB]

Calls for a second independence referendum 'do not have a mandate and are not backed up by popular support' @scottishlabour leader @LabourRichard tells @petermacmahon #indyref2

[Simone @cee4cat]

Little reminder Amber Rudd has been both Home Secretary & SoS for Work & Pensions.

She's sat tight and voted along with her party through Windrush, Austerity deaths, PIP, UC, WASPI, EU citizens uncertainty etc.

Her final straw was Tory MPs being badly treated.

[Labour In Scotland (parody) @ScotlandLabour]

RICHARD!

We’re so glad to see you, we were worried.

This must be your statement about the prorogation of parliament and democracy being buried in a lead-lined...oh.

[Richard Leonard @LabourRichard]

Scotland doesn’t want or need even more division and constitutional chaos. The next Labour government will not allow an unwanted second independence referendum to take place in its formative years.

Oh god, the general manager’s on his way to Fife and we still haven’t found Richard.

Batten doon the hatches.

[Labour In Scotland (parody) @ScotlandLabour]

@PBleater @lumi_1984 We've no idea either - we just found his name and picture on some old campaign literature.

[Labour In Scotland (parody) @ScotlandLabour]

Our Branch Office leader is missing.

His name is Richard.

We don’t think anyone’s noticed his absence yet.

Have you seen Richard?

[Labour In Scotland (parody) @ScotlandLabour]

@ChildOfAlba @wimthetim Isn't it wonderful how absolutely pointless we are up here?

[Labour In Scotland (parody) @ScotlandLabour]

If you happen to see Richard, please don’t try to interview him - he’s awfully skittish.

If would be great if you could let him know his tea’s oot though.

[Labour In Scotland (parody) @ScotlandLabour]

@Raibeartmac1 @WingsScotland @lumi_1984 That’s no way to talk about Ralf.
