Murphy election endorses Labour's failed agenda says Fox

THE election of Jim Murphy as Scottish Labour leader is “an endorsement of Labour’s failed right wing policy agenda of austerity, cuts, sacking and nuclear weapons”said SSP national spokesman Colin Fox.

Colin said : “By electing Jim Murphy, an arch disciple of the discredited Tony Blair and policies such as Trident renewal and tuition fees, Labour members have underlined just how out of touch they and their party is with Scottish public opinion.

“Jim Murphy is a supporter of Labour’s austerity policies which will see billions of cuts in public services, job losses and and the squandering of billions on nuclear weapons on the Clyde.

“Despite its dire public standing Labour has simply confirmed what everybody knows that they have lost all contact with the concerns and priorities of working people and opted for more sound bites and spin rather than tackle those concern.

“Labour no longer has any intention of implementing socialist solution such as taxing the rich, implementing--as called for by the TUC--a £10 an hour minimum wade and bringing key industries such as energy and railways back into public ownership.

“Scottish politics is a politics of the left and Labour will find that there po big business , austerity policies will fall on stony ground with Scottish voters.

“For those Labour members genuinely seeking socialist change Murphy’s election surely confirms that today’s Labour party will not deliver that change and the way to win socialist change is by joining Scotland’s socialist party the Scottish Socialist Party.”
