Orraloon Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 The worrying thing about Murphy is that he is getting himself so much media attention. He is very good at milking that attention and loads of folk will vote for hi just because he is "that guy aff the telly" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred_Zeppelin Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Jim Murphy the gift that keeps giving He's actually playing a blinder. This charade is to prove that he will stick up for Scotland against Westminster, the main reason a lot of people will vote SNP. A lot of people will fall for it, with the aid of our media.

I don't think so he has already started the infighting again within labour's ranks with his 1,000 nurse pledge with English taxpayers money (mansion tax) and the media is going nuts about it as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toepoke Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Aye, heard Boris doing his dinger on the radio. London certainly did well out of North Sea oil but his proposed payback idea seems like the kind of extreme notion that Labour try to besmirch the SNP with!...

scotlad Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 http://labour-uncut.co.uk/2011/05/03/knowing-me-knowing-jim-murphy/ Admiration for Ian Duncan Smith!!! And well he might, for IDS has overseen almost every welfare reform which began life under Labour's watch, becoming a virtual pariah figure as a consequence, and taken almost all the flack. I think they call it 'taking one for the team'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How, let alone why, would Westminster allocate the mansion tax money to Scotland? If I understand correctly, Barnett only allocates additional funds to Scotland if public spending in England rises. So we'd only see some benefit from the mansion tax if the chancellor chose to spend the money (as opposed to using it to reduce the deficit). I think.

I don't think it's got anything to do with nurses or mansion tax. I think it's all about portraying Murphy as standing up for Scotland against London.

peever1745 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 When is somebody going to ask him about his involvement in the Irish Republican movement when at Uni? What about all those poor families that lost loved ones during the troubles at the hands of those he supported? There is also the question of his expenses,that seems to have vanished from our media pages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
