'Sums them up': Scottish Labour mocked for glaring website error

THERE’S plenty of people out there who struggle to keep up at times with what Scottish Labour stand for.

But it seems even the party’s own website is still struggling to figure things out.

If you ever find yourself heading over to the website and look at the “where we stand” section on Scottish Labour’s website, you’ll find a series of topics on the website outlining their position.

There’s just one little issue with the “policy development” section, you’re presented with a “page not found” message.

The screenshot was initially shared by National columnist and Scottish legal expert Andrew Tickell, who said: “Being an open minded chap, I’ve been attempting to gain a better understanding of Scottish Labour’s policy ideas.

“Undiscouraged by recent lack of detail, a promising link appeared on the party’s site, entitled ‘policy development’.

“It takes you to this discouraging conclusion.”

Another user commented that they had found the same issue when heading to the website while a third joked that they were perhaps awaiting information from their bosses in London.

"Sums them up," somebody else said. 

With Scottish Labour abstaining on the Scottish Budget, it is getting increasingly hard to know what they believe in so getting IT in to fix this should be high up on the list of priorities. 

Either way, it fits with the message that The Jouker isn’t exactly sure what Scottish Labour stands for either.

Scottish Labour have since confirmed that the issue was a result of a broken redirect which has now been fixed.
