Don't tier the pants out of it.

No idea, but RD won't be standing to replace RL (as you know)

That’s good, @rookiemere!

Any of the Labour possibles any good? I’d like a proper good going socialist who can hold the SNP to account and look after the vulnerable and workers. No woke stuff. And who can try to stop their infighting.

Jackie Baillie as interim until after the election

?

The lack of a strong labour party is half the problem in Scottish politics. So many just wont vote Tory.

I like Jackie Baillie - think she's quite good at challenging NS.

I believe JB is fairly woke, fairly TWAW for example. Could be wrong though.

The state of labour in Scotland is a major part of SNP being so continually dominant IMO. They seem such a nothing party, no real figureheads.

I agree @StatisticallyChallenged.

Disappointing on the TWAW thing. Won’t vote for that no matter what

I see this as a good development re RL. Interesting to see what happens next.

I supposed Johann Lamont coming back would be unlikely? She was so fabulous recently. Plus ex teacher.

I'd be surprised re Johann. She wouldn't make it past the party electorate. She was excellent recently though.

Someone of either sex with a personality and balls would be a start.

I think Anas Sarwar and Monica Lennon are contenders, possibly Johann Lamont too.

I don't think Johann Lamont will be back. She didn't leave leave under great circumstances iirc.

Does anyone use the zoe covid app? It's suggesting that Glasgow has 15,303 cases, up by 7713 in a week. That seems incredibly steep... is it Old Firm/ NY coming to roost?

What WaxOn said.

Though if they have one of those, where have they been hiding?

@DollyMixtureLulus no, just the virus doing its thing

Yes, I’d like to know too 😂

It’s so frustrating. Surely there must be someone?!

I think Monica Lennon might be a worthy contender. I've never voted Labour but I do like her, she's not afraid to make a stand.

She’s another TWAW one so no vote from me

They all need to stop this woke stuff and focus on the really important issues

Do we really want Sarwar when he was deemed even worse than Leonard the last time? Plus he is another dentist...

Is there no one good?

To be honest I've not really kept up with any of them, Leonard looks like he'd be a very nice man but not what is needed in a leader, he was never electable and the Corbyn situation just didn't help. Ian Murray come back from Westminster?

Media seems to suggest that Bailie will sit in the role until after May and then look for a new leader so that would suggest they've given up for May, Leonard should have gone earlier.

It always reminds me of the quote about Geoffrey Howe saying it's like being savaged by a dead sheep.
