Labour has already worked with SNP in Westminster!

Yesterday's BBC Newsnight program revealed in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it piece that Labour has no qualms about working with the SNP in Westminster on a vote-by-vote basis.

This is because they've already worked together like that before!

In fact, it appears that Labour leader Ed Miliband already has the phone number of Angus Robertson, the SNP Leader in Westminster, stored on his own phone and is not shy about calling him when he needs the SNP vote.

This revelation came from an interview by Newsnight's Allegra Stratton with Angus Robertson at the launch of the SNP's manifesto. It's a shame she cut him off so early. Anyway, here is what Angus Robertson said on yesterday's Newsnight in an incredibly short, 25-second piece (from 31:50 to 32:15) about working with Labour:

"I know that Ed Miliband is capable of doing that. Why do I know that? Because he's already done it with me. When he picked up the phone and he wanted to talk about a different approach on Syria, he worked with the SNP and it was a good thing because we didn't get involved in a conflict in a way that wasn't being well thought through. Now he's shown that he's already capable of doing it."

Given that such an arrangement has already happened in the past, there's little doubt it'll happen again in the future.

Will Labour now publicly admit they'd be happy to work with the SNP over the course of the next parliament?
