Labour pains

FORMER Labour MP Maria Fyfes’ letter (21 October) neatly sums up all that is wrong with that party in Scotland just now. Her letter was almost entirely negative and needlessly personal and further demonstrated Labour’s petulant, childish, knee-jerk reaction to the SNP since 2007. It really is getting pretty tiring.

When is Labour going to say something original and positive about the future governance of Scotland, instead of automatically criticising anything that the SNP may say?

When is Labour going to start fighting for the people of Scotland, instead of pursuing its own, self-serving, self-regarding London-based agenda?
