Not until all the SNP leadership are paroled on licence, and there is no knowing when that might be. You lot have been taken for mugs, perhaps when Labour take over the pretendy Parliament the various criminal investigations may be completed.

Really good to see the SNP getting hammered. Now the SNP has only six of the 59 Scottish seats in the Commons, it has to work hard to avoid a similar culling of its MSPs in the Scottish Parliament in 2026.
I remember being told that Labour was dead north of the border — is Thomas now doubting...?
PS — Scottish seats are 57 in 2024 (-2, -8 for Wales, and +10 for England)

Given that they had lost confidence in the SNP, who else could Scottish voters have voted for? No party but Labour was a viable alternative at this point. |

The alternative to the SNP was Alba. Unless you're suggesting that Labour is going to destroy the United Kingdom and hand us over one piece at a time to the EU Reich. In that case Labour could be considered a viable alternative to the SNP.

Is it something now more upmarket…? |

Just in case you really didn't know... The Alba party is so called because Alba is the name of the kingdom formed by the union of the Picts and Scots under Kenneth I MacAlpin in 843. Their territory ranged from modern Argyll and Bute to Caithness, across much of southern and central Scotland, and was one of the few areas in the British Isles to withstand the invasions of the Vikings. www.britannica.com/place/Alba-historical-kingdom-Scotland |

Still, it looks like Sinn Fein has offered you one of the first search results. |

I'll certainly fail the Cricket Test, 10-14 July, 18-22 July, and 26-30 July. Lord's will be the only one I'll likely be able to attend... |

That's not what last nights vote demonstrates Morayloon. You can produce all the pie in the sky pretend polls you like, but last night was a cast iron vote against your silly bollocks flagship policy and your beloved racist party got clobbered. And if it hadn't been for Reform, Douglas Ross would still be our MP. DRoss was not standing in my constituency. I don't know where you live, but it sure as hell ain't Moray! The SNP was only 5.3% behind Labour, yet FPTP inflated Labour's seat victory. The SNP had similarly been advantaged by FPTP over the past few elections. IT was a vote against the Tories. Many Independistas didn't vote SNP because they were scunnered by the lack of progress to, and commitment for, Independence. Had it been an anti-Nationalist vote a win for the Unionists would have been expected in the NE. Instead they only managed to hold on to two seats. The anti Tory vote, within Tory supporters, did go to Reform. But, if there was an anti-Nat movement in the NE, it would have coalesced around the Tories, which was the only party capable of defeating the Nationalists ... in reality the vote fragmented. The Tory vote in North Aberdeenshire & Moray East collapsed, not only because of anger towards the Tories, but also the way DRoss was parachuted in, as Tory candidate, to replace David Duguid. |

50% of Scots still support Independence. Maybe so, but what seems pretty clear (to me at least) is that the intensity levels of support for independence amongst that 50% has diminished notably over the past couple of years. That is potentially more damaging to the Indy cause than a drop in the absolute numbers supporting independence would be. Don't think that is the case. If the 'intensity' level had diminished you would expect support to fall back, in line with support for the SNP. Rather, Independence sits around 50% while the SNP garnered only a 30% share of the vote at the election |

Aye, and I think if there had been any truth, any evidence of wrongdoing, the PF would have had Murrell in court. I had half expected that to happen in the lead up to the election. That it didn't makes me wonder if it was all just a put up job and all you anti-Nats will be left with egg on your faces: just as you were when a jury found AS Not Guilty in all but one charge, which the jury found the case against him Not Proven. |
