I own shirts of a greater IQ than that waste of skin.
But his surname renders him royalty up this way.
I would not trust him with my weekly shopping.

Labour are pro Brexit, anti immigration, trident renewing British Nationalists. They have nothing to offer Scotland.

So true. I don't think Labour has known what it stands for for quite some time now.


Now they just out Tory the Tories and offer a few more crumbs to fall from the big table.

That is the alternative for Scotland and the UK as a whole. Another shower of shyte, but the shyte is a little less skittery.

The SNP might be a shower of shyte, but the alternative (for me at least), isn't even worth thinking about.

Watched the Raab interview on the BBC.
What a deluded man.

Those public schools have a hell of a lot to answer for.

Meanwhile, there’s been no real change in the SNP polling, as their failings are obviously being overstated by a hostile media.

Hmmm, not sure that is right. Latest YouGov poll (sampled 17-20 April) shows SNP on 38% (Constituency) and 30% (List) compared with 48% and 40% respectively at the last Scottish elections. So down a full 10%. I know there is margin of error and this is just one snapshot but there is a clear decline in SNP support given all the recent events. Whether that is just a passing phase and "normal service" is resumed we will see I guess.

Pretty much where I'm at.
Unimpressed with the SNP in government...
but they're not built for government, they're a single issue movement.
I cannot, currently, envisage a world in with the UK returns a Government I do not find morally abhorrent.
Scotland has to be independent, it's the only way democracy stops being meaningless.
I'll hold my nose and vote for them, even if they end up with a reactionary dinosaur denier (with a snipers dream.....etc. &#128513 as leader.

I can't be fu cked with Westminster any more.

The strange thing about that poll is that the Westminster poll puts them on a 2% drop, which all things considered is pretty good.

I think people are rightfully hacked off with them up here, but overall the independence argument is holding up well.

Same here. I hate everything it stands for.

Even if Starmer is voted in next year and makes life a little better for folk, we know that the slippery Tory bas tards are only ever an election away from power down south on a promise to reverse any good that's been done by the Socialist/Communist Labour party!

They never f*cking fail to get turkeys to vote for Xmas.

The really are as detestable as the Huns.

The Proclaimers have been removed from the Coronation playlist (whatever the f*ck that is).

Who knew Craig and Charlie were republicans. Not as though they never talked about their beliefs during their career.

Just been reading Spurs, Boavista, Dynamo Berlin, have all been invited to participate in the 40th European Success's celebrations. Don't think its a official invite more a fans thing. But why ?
