That is a depressing outcome for anyone wanting to see progressive politics prosper in Scotland, and the UK.

Glasgow not Tulsa

Images of what looks like a pre-election day leaflet from Labour have been posted on the internet. Rumours suggest that they may be delivered only in the Glasgow area but could just as easily be delivered country wide or limited to targeted constituencies.
