When Kezia Dugdale stepped down as the leader of Scottish Labour, there were rumours that she was planning to defect to the SNP. Despite Dugdale’s denial, odds were as short as 5/1 on Dugdale – whose partner is an SNP MSP – joining the Scottish Nationalists before the next Holyrood election in 2021.
So, after today’s drama at PMQs in which the SNP staged a widely-criticised mass walk out, Mr S was curious to learn Dugdale’s take on the matter. In a tweet, Dugdale comes to the SNP’s defence – suggesting that the Tories are worse when it comes to playing political games.
Tories would never play political games would they… like, I don’t know, only given 15mins to debate Scotland then filibustering it out?!🧐 https://t.co/0BUGRttSI4
