Bendy Wendy stabbed in the back by her own brother.

Damian McBride, the former smear artist and Gordon Brown henchman has been spilling the beans in the Daily Mail about his time as a spin doctor for Brown. His new book has helped to solve the mystery of what happened to Wendy Alexander, the former 'Scottish Labour' leader after she kept demanding a referendum on independence for Scotland. She kept telling the SNP to 'Bring it on' which seemed to go against the wishes of London Labour who certainly had no interest in a quick referendum on independence for Scotland.

According to McBride it was her brother Douglas Alexander ( the present shadow Foreign Secretary ) who finished her off with a knife in the back by telling Gordon that she had to be sacked as she was contradicting London Labour with her demands for a quick referendum on independence for Scotland. Dougie helpfully advised Gordon to use the 'dodgy Guernsey donation' issue as the reason for her to resign. This would act as a smokescreen for the real reason for her to be sacked....their panic over her Scottish referendum demands.

McBride's book 'Power Trip' reveals the full gory details of how the Labour party really operate and will be an 'interesting' read. It won't be covered by their followers in the BBC etc so you might have to order it from the library.

It would be great to leave all the Labour smears and spin behind after independence but they're entrenched in Scotland as well so they will always be a stain on us.

Order from the library....

Wee Doogie.....butter wouldnae melt in meh mooth ye ken..

Man's pants catch fire live on the telly !

Viewers choked on their popcorn last night as Labour MP Anas Sarwar's pants caught fire as he pledged that labour would scrap the Unionist bedroom tax if they got into power. This was news to London Labour who admitted that they have pledged no such thing.

Mr Sarwar refused to answer any questions put to him by Nicloa Sturgeon of the SNP during the televised debate and decided to make up stories instead.

An unofficial spokesperson said that Mr Sarwar's nose started to get really long as the porkies spilled out of his mouth and then... kaboom !!...his pants burst into flames.

It was great telly to watch but a sad day for Mr Sarwar's career. Will the millionaire now join his dad in the Punjab ? That's the big question everybody is asking tonight.

Except BBC Scotland of course. They've 'mysteriously' missed the big bedroom tax story and are breaking on a dog being found in a layby with a matted coat.

Poor Bob.....

'Better Together' leader spins to Chartered Accountants.

Pro Union 'Project Fear' leader Alistair Darling has spun his pro Union rubbish to ICAS ( audio link ).

Luckily the Scottish book keepers are switched on so will have seen straight through the man who helped to crash the UK economy with his 'hands off' light touch approach to UK banking.

While Alistair waltzes around London earning thousands of pounds making speeches the people of Scotland stand in line at the latest food banks.

Scotland...the only country to discover oil and end up poorer.

Better Together...aye for Mr eyebrows and his chums like Blair, Mandleson and Broon etc but not for the rest of us.

"Darling was asked whether the Better Together campaign was, as yet, too low key. He pointed out that it’s simply not possible to campaign flat out for two years, but added: “As we get closer to the vote, you can be sure that both sides will up the ante."

If you hold your 'Better Together' public meetings in secret then it will be very low key.

United Nations get tough on Unionist bedroom tax.

United Nations Special Rapporteur Raquel Rolnik flew into Glasgow today to investigate the London government's bedroom tax to see whether it has broken human rights laws.

Ms Rolnik ( pictured above) will investigate whether the Unionist's bedroom tax is flouting Article 25 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by penalising poor families for the size of their homes.

SNP MSP Christina McKelvie welcomed the UN’s examination of the "utterly inhumane and unjustifiable" tax.

Labour’s Shadow Scottish Secretary Margaret Curran ( pictured below) said: "Raquel Rolnik also needs to look at what the Scottish Government could be doing to help people out".

This is despite Labour failing to fully back the SNP during the Opposition Vote against the tax in February. 44 Labour MPs were absent when the vote took place and the attempt to scrap the tax was defeated by 41 votes.

The Labour council in North Lanarkshire threatened a disabled woman with eviction for non payment of the bedroom tax but backed down when The Daily Record newspaper intervened.

They work for you. Gordon Brown MP.

We've not seen much of Gordon since he left office. He pops up occasionally to shout about things that he could have had influence over when in power. The failure to clean up the radiation at Dalgety Bay for instance ( he knew about this for decades ) or the closure of Remploy factories ( Labour closed dozens when in power).

He managed to vote in 13.32% of votes in the London Parliament. So where has he been ?

After bailing out the banksters with taxpayers money he's been continuing to 'save the world'.......

I made a quick estimate of the total trousered and it comes to over a million quid.

I think it's like one of Tony Blair's foundations or something..disclaimer in the members interest register.."I am not receiving any money from this role personally. It is being held by the Office of Gordon and Sarah Brown for the employment of staff to support my ongoing involvement in public life."

Oh, he did find time to visit the opening of a new food bank in Kirkcaldy..

Scotland is the only country in the world to discover oil and end up poorer. Norway has an £800Bn sovereign wealth fund from oil and Scotland is opening food banks to feed the hungry.

'Better Together' in the United Kingdom ? Only for some.

Labour Party's failure to block 'bedroom tax' will cost Scotland £50,000,000

'Scottish Labour's' new Finance spokesman Iain Gray has estimated that it will cost Scottish taxpayers £50m in order to negate the effects of the 'bedroom tax' on Scotland.

44 Labour MPs failed to back the SNP and vote against the bedroom tax during an Opposition Day vote in the London Parliament in February. 44 Labour MPs 'absented' themselves from the vote allowing it to be defeated by 41 votes.

Mr Gray "called on the SNP government to find the cash, saying they could easily raise the money."

Scottish Labour's new 'big hitter' Mr Gray then explained that Labour would 'reform' local tax in Scotland as the SNP had been freezing the rise in council tax for too long and this just won't do.

An independent Scotland would scrap the bedroom tax immediately and in the meantime have tried to get the Labour Party to support their commitment to block any bedroom tax evictions.

'Scottish Labour' leader Ms Lamont was unavailable for comment and is thought to be organising another top secret 'better together' public meeting.

He who pays the piper calls the tune.

The US President has decided to allow the US Congress to vote on whether to bomb Syria. This will earn a few bob for some Congressmen and women. Some of them seem to be as fond of the lobbyists largesse as our lot...
