On An Odd Piece of Rhetoric

So One Nation Labour gets a bit of a run out at the Labour Party conference.

Which is okay I suppose. There are a lot of One Nation Labour politicians and voters, dead and alive, in these islands of ours.

But it struck me an odd bit of rhetoric to use during a referendum campaign on whether we are two states or not and with the background of a constitutional settlement that clearly recognises that we are several nations.

Dan, Dan, Dan... it's all about the audience he was talking to. Remember, that as far as the Labour party goes, Scotland does not count. So long as we keep sending the MPs, that's all that matters. This is One Nation politics, and England is the one nation.
