Not much different to now  unreliable dirty and expensive.

govt did little to fix it cos it cost money to improve. And government would rather spend the money elsewhere. Keep an eye out for labour nicking the investment money I bet it'll get happen cos the same people demanding nationalisation also demand other spending.

 

Not from what I remember. Yes they weren't perfect, but nowhere near as expensive or sh*t as now...just from my own personal experience of using train to get down to London and back a few weeks ago...shockingly sh*t value for money.

Absolutely fantastic entertainment here in Holyrood today. Suspect Yousaf's days could be very numbered. He's such a donkey and was never fit to be FM anyway.

This stuff is all really good! I suspect Labours offer will be more to the left than some people realise.

Nope not true, Green vote was next month not overnight. Although the gist of what you are saying is likely accurate as they may well have voted to end the agreement. 

 

Pretty funny considering Yousaf made it a central part of his campaign for leadership and reiterated the support like 2 days ago.

 

Glad to have Harvie & Slater out of government though. Total morons.

A friend of mine is part of the SG's group team )not MSP) and last night they contacted SNP to say they would be pulling out once the vote was done hence my comment.

Sadly though I see the Greens are playing the blame game after this today.......... and I hate political games

makes literally no sense. There was no way to tell which way the vote was going to go. Are you claiming that they would have pulled out of the agreement even if their members voted to keep it and with the co-leaders both supporting continuing it?

 

Your info is dodgy

I know they did a quick poll, unofficial, and there was 90% plus support for pulling out so I stick by what I have been told. Never been given false info before from this source

Humza Yousaf latest...

Tories tabled a vote of no confidence in him. Labour and Lib Dems back it. Greens/Alba undecided.

SNP have 63 MSPs. Tories 31, Labour 22, Lib Dem 4. Greens 7 and Alba 1.

Basically just on the Greens and Regan. Greens are pretty spineless but they do seem pissed off and have lost their ministers. Apparently Regan is going to vote with the government anyway so it might not matter as SNP + Alba = 64 so dead heat so Yousaf would stay.

I have a feeling they will be more left, take the rail renationalisation as something people didn’t think would be Labour policy but as we are seeing now, it is.

 

I don’t think Labour will water down those policies, Reeves is probably being careful with how she words things.

No, I just live in a world where there are more than the same old same old two parties neither of which I like.

Disliking Labour does not make you  a Tory.

What makes you a Tory is living in a world of 'I'm alright Jack' where you gloat about how well your life is going while not giving a crap about other peoples lives.

Remind you of anyone?
