IS Anas (branch-office-poodle) Sarwar trying to outdo Tony Bliar? (No, that wasn’t a typo). He’s described by Talk TV as being one of the 11 of the sharpest and most perceptive political voices in the UK. ARE THEY HAVIN’ A LAUGH???

If we EVER needed proof that Anas is abandoning EVERYTHING the post-World War Two Labour party stood for, then this is IT! You only have to look at the participants in Talk TV to see it’s going to make the Tories look like the Socialist Workers Party. Boycott it!! How ANYONE with even faintly left-wing views can vote Labour now baffles me.
Good timing for the upcoming local elections, Anas!

JUST more of the same from the same old suspects. Talk TV will “serve no ideology” yet barking mad hard-right nutters like Julia Hartley-Brewer are appearing. Gives Sarwar something to do at least though; not exactly that busy with his portfolio of zero responsibilities.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
