Labour or the SNP? It's Not Much of a Choice for Working Class Scots Jonathon Shafi: Keir Starmer's announcement that Labour won't oppose the two-child benefit payment cap has provoked a range of critical and angry responses in Scotland. Labour MSPs Mercedes Villalba and Monica Lennon publicly "slammed" the Labour leader, while former Scottish Labour leader Kezia Dugdale, who railed against the Tory policy in 2017 in a debate on welfare "reforms", reposted her speech in Holyrood. The SNP, meanwhile, argued the saga once again illustrates the need for independence. Labour, it claims, is a pale imitation of the Tory party and could never deliver for Scotland. Only the SNP understands the issues affecting Scots and could chart a different course to that of an ailing British state. This kind of policy spat is grist to the mill for the SNP and the Scottish government. Opposition to something like the two-child benefit cap replenishes multiple talking points which can steer the party, riven as it is by its own crisis, onto better terrain. Here is not only a political but moral presentation of its difference from the Westminster establishment, and anyone looking at Labour as an alternative to the Tories in Scotland is reminded of the cigarette paper which divides the two. If you want to escape this dilemma, so the argument goes, the SNP can offer a route towards independence. Then, instead of having to mitigate policy choices at the level of the UK, Scotland can devise itself a fairer, greener future. CONTINUE READING ➡︎ Picks of the week...
