Where were the Labour Party?
At around the 13 minute mark the discussion
on the Bedroom Tax starts.
Here you can see Anas Sarwar, deputy leader of the Labour Party in Scotland, arguing against the Bedroom Tax. Demanding to know why the SNP don’t abolish it (when Welfare isn’t devolved to Holyrood).
As you can gather he is obviously opposed to it. Well last night there was a Labour Party sponsored debate about the Bedroom Tax. the vote failed, by less than the number of absent Labour MPs. These included Anas Sarwar and Gordon Brown.
Obviously this was picked up by the newspapers who were on the ball as usual..oh wait no it was completely missed. Such respectable organs as the Daily Record decided that attacking the Lib Dems for being absent was the correct line to take.
