"rhetorically adept at pushing progressive sentiments and liberal buttons, it’s vanishingly short on details" Beautifully put. I give it a 10!

That is SNP government approach.

Step 1 - Press release, press conference, announcements and other malarkey "pushing progressive sentiments and liberal buttons,". Contrast with Westminster, Tories, TERFS, Labour and other sundry despicables.

Step 2 - Implement a wafer thin policy. Wait for the predictable and the unpredictable to go wrong

Step 3 - Blame others (Westminster, Tories, TERFS, Labour and other sundry despicables) and Go back to Step 1.

This avoids tough choices and having to communicate them. Makes government so much easier... till it doesn't.

Moreover, Very little from Starmer on labour migration. If any party has been burnt by giving too much away in an election campaign.. it's labour
