Things just seem to be getting worse and worse for the Labour Party in Scotland and at Westminster. Squabbling about about who said what to whom and when can be never productive and will only further damage relationships within the party. The donors who did not wish publicity in the first are getting plenty publicity now and it’s the type of publicity that I’m sure they’d rather not have.
Delicate relationships within and outwith the party have been exposed and I would imagine that there are many arguments currently taking place that are not related to this particular issue but are a reflection of wider, underlying disagreements and fractured working relationships.
Wouldn’t it be better if people were open to acknowledging the wider issues instead of hiding them away again?
Shouldn’t politicians use this opportunity to work hard to rebuild and nurture positive working relationships within their own parties as well as between Holyrood and Westminster?
