    The whole point of these amendments is to just shit on the government and try and make a political point. “Look, this new government voted against taking kids out of poverty!” and all that disingenuous shite.

      Indeed - it’s political trolling. I seem to recall them doing the same a while ago under the Tories.

      That’s true, it is quite crude of the SNP to try to trip up the party that is clearly closer aligned to its interests.

        They want Westminster to be disfunctional. That’s the path towards independence. They’re actively opposed to progressive wins. This goes both ways BTW, Labour won’t ally with them either. Structurally adversarial politics is crap. Only electoral reform will make it possible for natural allies to actually work together (on the issues where they align).
