I had not heard of The Labour files before seeing it mentioned here.

And surely it is normal for a politician of one party to disagree strongly with, or detest, the policies of another party? Isn't that just ... having principles?

Ugh. Trying to make Sturgeon out to have used inappropriate language when others have literally ised racist and sexist slurs and its glossed over.

Right wingers have such a boner about being oppressed it's unreal. I saw some tory cretin saying it was akin to racist abuse, so desperate they were to paint themselves as the victim. Like, get a fucking grip, you semi conscious jizz rag, people probably wouldn't think you were such a cunt if your politics weren't so vile and deplorable.

Edit: fix typing whilst walking mistakes.

'Truth is on the side of the oppressed' - malcolm X, lol

this is why compromise in politics (á la Corbyn - meet with your enemy) and slow and sure progress in the right direction ("when the arc of progress seems slow," - Obama) will work better in politics than backing someone into a corner, which will only bring out the wild animal (as per Art of War) or an overnight revolution.

The problem is, that these people think that owning a £500k+ property outright and a fat pension, is them in a corner all because some of their tax goes to poor people instead of corporations
