Ok..What is going on? Only 15 days after this article where Kezia says she is ready to be the next First Minister, and only 2 days since Jeremys disasterous Scottish trip where he stumbled time and time again, showing almost zero knowledge of Scotland…Kezia suddenly out of the blue resigns!
Only a few weeks earlier we also had this in the Times
And Yet tonight we had this from the BBC
Call me cynical but I wonder if it could all be to distract from this news on Labours PFI projects which have just come to light..
PFI scandal as Scottish NHS faces £10billion bill for hospitals that cost £2billion
Critics slam the toxic credit scheme introduced by Labour Party that has left health boards with a crippling bill of£7.8bn.
Some huge questions to be asked on this issue now…and Kezia would have had to answer them.
Or maybe Old Jeremy managed to get her pushed?
I guess we might not find out the real story any time soon.
But in the meantime…. Labours Scottish Branch is now looking for its 7th leader (including stand ins) since 2014
Now that really is quite some record for that poisoned chalice.
Who next? Who Knows? For How long? Anybodies Guess.
It seems to me that the only explanation of the resignation is to rain on the SNP’s Bridge parade. She was going to have to go after having advocated people vote Tory, it was only a case of picking an auspicious time to go, so she has.
What worries me is that unless the pick Jackie the Hut they can’t get a leader who will do the Labour party more harm, and the SNP more good.
James Kelly?
Seven leaders since 2014? All so memorable I can’t recall any of them, apart from Kez and we’ll probably have forgotten her by the weekend. So just for the record, can anyone list all seven?? No, honestly, I’d like to know who these nonentities were … 🙂
Like the rest of them they are not worth remembering,just be glad they have gone and soon the rest of them will also be gone.Jack McConnell,Johanne something,ah that’s enough to be giving us a headache!

Alex Rowley Acting at present
7th stilll to be arranged…..but probably still pretty Vacant
There we have another lesson in hypocrisy,Jeremy thanking Kezia the backstabber,and still thinking Labour are on the way up,no just another hiccup in the road to independence.Even the thickest Labour member or supporter must see what it is that is going on.They are trying to confuse when all of their sins are found out nobody will be left to take the blame and the fall as they have all fell already.
