What is the point of Labour anymore?

Well I think even Diane Abbott could work that one out. SNP have lost 1 candidate out of 59 due to anti Semetism allegations. 1.7% Labour have lost 1 candidate out of 631 due to similar allegations. 0.16%

1.7 is almost 11 times higher than 0.16. Or it was when I was at school. I understand that after 10 years of SNP government, literacy and numeracy rates are somewhat lower. But then, that's the same SNP who have claimed, and will claim, that a mere 40% of the share of the vote constitutes a "mandate".

It is interesting to note that only 37.5% of the UK electorate voted to leave the EU yet the Tory Government is using this as a mandate to commit national suicide.
