Nothing says "down with the neoliberal capitalist nationalist xenophobes* like voting for a neoliberal capitalist nationalist xenophobic project.

You’re voting for what Starmer stands for which is all of those things 🤷🏻♂️

that’s more the realm of the pro-war Walts on the Ukraine thread (on which you’re not allowed to post if you are against war!).
This is untrue. What you’re not allowed to do is make personal insults.

I was referring more to the way the thread is policed by those who post on it to keep anti-war voices away

Untrue claims to make you sound like a victim? not like the kitten and the reason for kittens at all.

No, the victims are the working class folk on both sides drawn into an imperialist war. Capitalism working well again.

The challenge for Labour in Scotland is being highlighted in the Rutherglen and Hamilton West byelection.
Labour will have to fight on a more left-of-centre platform in Scotland to oust the SNP. In England they've chosen to campaign on a more right-of-centre platform to attract Tory voters. This will lead to inevitable questions about exactly what that party stands for.
This is already evident from the Labour candidate, Michael Shanks, who has come out against the two-child cap and bedroom tax. These are policies the Keir Starmer has said will remain should Labour be returned at the next GE.

If I was a left of centre voter in this constituency I’d probably spoil my ballot. Assume it’s a place where no one but Labour or SNP would win

Scottish Labour have long been accused of being a branch office of the UK party.
Now that there are signs of taking different positions that is also criticised.

SNP + Green is the most socialist vote you can have in Scotland at the moment (apart from Scottish Socialist Party, which is led by an unsavoury character!) But come independence, we would have a better choice.
Except, Fields, did you say the EU has banned all socialism now? Sorry, I must have missed that European Court judgement. Can you post a link to it please? G
