WE MIGHT HAVE HAD THE POWER TO STOP THIS IN SCOTLAND...BUT LABOUR VOTED WITH THE TORIES TO KEEP IT IN LONDON

I am totally in agreement with this. We must work together to prevent the passing of the horrific legislation that the Tories are proposing which will remove the rights from workers. The Tory trade Union Bill is a step WAY too far.

However,  if they are serious about beating the Tories on unions, why did they fight tooth and nail with the very same Tories to maintain Westminster hegemony over trades union legislation. Surely even the meanest intelligence would know that in an independent Scotland, the various possibilities of government, coalition or single party, will not (at least for a VERY long time) include the Tories. Surely they understood that Labour or the SNP, or even the Greens or Liberals would never propose this kind of legislation? No, agreeing with the Tories and doing down the SNP was more important than the union law which may very well pass despite the combined efforts of Corbyn's Labour Party, the SNP and the smaller parties. When will Labour understand that London doesn't give a stuff about trades unions or the working person?
