Labour priorities
While some may be beguiled by dulcet tones that suggest the “orator” believes he can lead the masses to the “Promised Land”, even a cursory examination of the principles that would appear to underpin his parliamentary actions to date reveal that Jim Murphy is far from being a paragon of selfless virtue.
This colourful political chameleon may still fool some people some of the time, but thankfully the referendum debate has resulted in a more informed Scottish public which is unlikely to be fooled long enough to support the career ambitions of such a disingenuous individual at the expense, ultimately, of the poor and those less privileged in our society.

Hide AdSo Scottish Labour Party leader Jim Murphy, as predicted, is peddling the myth that a vote for the SNP is a vote for those nasty Tories.
Are those the same Tories with whom he stood shoulder to shoulder, endorsing every negative vibe they projected at Scotland?
Are those the same Tories he was cuddly-duddlying up to, every smooch-way and loose, throughout the referendum campaign?
Can it be that the Tories have changed their spots? Or is it that Mr Murphy has more faces than Big Ben?
After all, he claims he believes in an independent Scottish Labour Party, but not in an independent Scotland.
