This was on Twitter just now. Labour's Stephen McCabe having a go at BBC Scotland's James Cook for daring to report everything he heard at Labour's anti-SNP rally in the capital earlier on today.

For anyone who missed it, he concluded his report by saying there were a few defiant speeches but one Labour delegate (a senior Labour figure) had said to Cook: "the ship is going down", or words to that effect. Labour are raging he reported it.

I thought it might be her ,but the helmet bit ?

in the past ? Need to take a look at their party leaders methinks .

This. I was trying to find some eloquent words but a "fat auld who lives in the past" sums it up perfectly.

I know Davie, and tbh I quite like him. Think he's lost his way in the party machine, but somewhere in there is a true socialist (he still lives in the same council house he did before becoming an MP for example).

I've never felt he was truly anti-SNP, certainly not on the scale of Ian Davidson or Terry Kelly. I believe he's friends with some senior SNP people down in WM.

He's also a very engaging speaker so was a bit surprised at this.

And today is International womens day! So well done SLAB, great bit of timing to let someone from a public platform make snide sexist remarks. I'm sure mainstream medai will be all over it, imagine if Farage had said it.

Worth checking out the Twitter exchange between BBC's James Cook and Cllr Stephen McCabe after Cook quoted a senior Labour figure as saying 'the ship is sinking'.

Love this line from today's Herald about Margaret Curran.

Another Scottish Labour source said: "Margaret has always been out for herself and Jim needs to have a word with her. It will be a blow to Labour if we lose our Scottish Secretary but we can take comfort in the knowledge that the IQ of the Westminster group will rise when Margaret goes."

She's definitely in the top 3 of who I'd love to see lose their seat. Her, Jim & Dougie being booted out on their arse would be just fine.
