Anas Sarwar, British Unionist and Scottish Labour MSP and former British Labour MP, is standing for the branch managers job at Scottish Labour. The 600th leader in five years or something or other and you know what, I hope he wins, I really do.
Anas Sarwar is the son of millionaire former Scottish Labour MP Mohammed Sarwar, and actually won his fathers former seat for Westminster in Glasgow Central to become an MP, and it was in Westminster where he made the famous statement above about the Scottish Parliament ” The Parliament is not a democratic place in the conventional sense, it is a dictatorship”. The very place that he couldn’t wait to get to when the voters of Glasgow Central came to their senses and voted the man out but Scottish Labour decided to inflict on us anyway by placing him top of their Glasgow list. You see Anas Sarwar is a liar as has been covered on WoS, and as I noted previously, Anas Sarwar was one of the MSP’s who called for Jeremy Corbyn to stand down.
Scottish Labour have a slogan that says ” For the many not the few “. Anas Sarwar is the type of politician they love, as most of the elected Labour politicians follow their real mantra which is ” For the few, screw the many “. Anas Sarwar is a privately educated millionaire whose children are also privately educated, now there is nothing wrong with making money and sending your kids to private school if that is what you want, but when your words are different from your actions that makes you a liar and a hypocrit doesn’t it. In 2014 Anas Sarwar said this “The reason why we wake up every morning and fight for what we believe in is to create opportunity and fight poverty. , yet in March 2014 Anas Sarwar was one of the 30 Scottish Labour MPs who voted for George Osborne’s Welfare Cap, the man is a plank.
But I hope he wins, I really do, if anyone can finally end Scottish Labour as a political branch office it is Anas Sarwar, lets all hope he wins.
