While the BBC ratchets up its campaign against the Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, the timing of its Panorama programme couldn’t have been more perfect.

WHY haven’t the Scottish Labour party abandoned the Bain Principle? As a socialist it’s mind-boggling they haven’t!
As many readers will already know, the Bain Principle is named after Willie Bain, Labour MP for Glasgow North East (lost his seat to SNP in 2015). In a nutshell it states that Labour will oppose whatever the SNP propose no matter the circumstances! And, as indicated in yesterday’s National, to maintain this convention will even go to bed with the Tories!
Whoever the Scottish Labour advisers are, they surely need to be relieved of duty!
Labour has certainly lost its way. With the advent of Holyrood we all had hoped there would have been more co-operation as opposed to confrontation between parties. Sadly this hasn’t happened! Although I’m a passionate SNP supporter, it still saddens me the demise of Labour as a strong advocate against poverty and injustice! When will they ever learn? So may I be bold enough to suggest Labour kick the Tories out of bed and get into bed with SNP? Let’s fight poverty and injustice together! If they don’t accept this advice, in the words of Dad’s Army’s Frazer: “You’re doomed, Scottish Labour, you’re doomed!”
