Band of Snp Mps at westminster, took the Election Defeat on the chin. In this room we all know and understand that hiding from that harsh reality will fix nothing because the right response never lies in easy excuses, the only right response is rooted in reflection and responsibility.

He said the snp has to reroute itself in the priorities of the scottish people, priorities and we believe the party has moved away from.

London, where labour is making billions in cuts after promising an end to austerity. That is politics at its most cynical, total breach of trust with all of those who supported lab our.
