Quite apart from the relevance why is he even taking pot shots at the SNP? Doesn't he have anything better to aim at at the minute?
Labour lost a lot of votes in Scotland, where the SNP has largely stolen the mantle of anti-austerity.
Scotland is still relevant, you know. Campaigning for Scottish votes is a thing U.K. politicians still do.

Apologies - I didn't mean it as Scotland being irrelevant, rather that the "40 years ago" point he's making is irrelevant. It seems like an odd time to be having a go at the SNP in any case when there's the state of the Tory party in front of him.
I imagine there's a calendar with all the anniversaries of previous slights in it and today this one came up.

When people do 'x years ago today' posts I always like to wonder what people would have been saying had they pulled the same trick on that date.
So, in 1979, were people still trying to conduct their politics by dredging up what was going on in the late 1930's?
