It's not just Mandelson McSweeney got wrong, he was also responsible for the disastrous policy of appeasing the hard right on immigration. But Starmer was his boss, he doesn't get to walk away with clean hands after throwing his minions under the bus.

Questions need to be asked of the Scottish Labour Hamilton and Rutherglen Constituency Party. 1. What did they know about Mandelson when he as good as ran the campaign directing members actions? 2. What is the relationship between Michael Shanks MP and Mandelson and what contact have they had?

BBC Scotland has never in its history, been as conspiratorially biased in favour of the Union as it is now. It is worse now than in the run up to the 2014 referendum. It now no more than a dedicated and fully committed Unionist propaganda channel. (RT if you agree.)
