March 3, 20214 yr Social media tonight of droves of people joining the SNP. Honestly how any Scot in their right mind could support the Scottish Tories I don’t know I would say the Tory vote has simply increased since the 2014 referendum as they stand as the only party that can defend the union and the polarisation caused by that, Labour and others just get lost in the shouting.
March 4, 20214 yr Yesterday’s shambles can best be summed up by this short video clip @1367117685335724033
March 4, 20214 yr I'm a little shocked at how much the media are running with this story (Laura Kuenssberg's feed has almost exclusively been about it for over a week) after barely making any noise or moving on quickly with similar situations within Westminster. Not that it shouldn't be reported, or that there shouldn't be consequences if proven necessary, but the difference in coverage and the hypocrisy of it is quite something. Is this actually the end of Sturgeon? Silly me. @1367500616159932416 @1367481185560113154
March 4, 20214 yr Looks like this has all blown up in the Tories' faces!! We can now only assume this wall-to-wall coverage and sttacks ftom the BBTory will become the noem r.e ALLEGATIONS of breaking the ministerial code, let alone it actually happening, from the government?
March 4, 20214 yr Welsh support for independence up to 39%. It was between 2 - 5% under Blair's Labour. Brexshit: the gift that just keeps on giving. It is so ironic that Farage and the hard right wanted to break up the European Union, but the only union they imperilled was their own.
March 4, 20214 yr Silly me. @1367500616159932416 @1367481185560113154 The SNP live tweet FMQs and that is barely the start of her absolute savage destruction of Ruth Davidson. I would love to see a video in full of it. Ruthie was DOA at ERI after FMQs Great to see so many new members!
March 4, 20214 yr Welsh support for independence up to 39%. Itw as between 2 - 5% unser Blair's Labour. Brexshit: the gift that just keeps on giving. It is so ironic that Farage and the hard right wanted to break up the European Union, but the only union they imperilled wss their own. I believe historically it has been around 10% support for iCymru. Up to 39% is remarkable. Corona really is gonna be the end of the union
March 4, 20214 yr Deafening silence from the British media and English public/political commentariat about when Tory ministers are going to be subjected to 8 hours of independent questioning with the threat of deselection if anything suggesting guilt comes out, for every single questionably legal action they've taken in the past 12 months. Nothing for Hancock wasting tax money on inadequate PPE. Nothing for Boris forcing through an ill-fitting Brexit. Nothing for Farage spreading harmful lies. Nothing for Patel bullying staff in her office.

Nothing for Williamson getting back into the Cabinet a few months after being sacked for being a security risk (and collecting a hefty severance payment on the way out of the door). Nothing for Hancock giving a contract to his mate from the pub. Nothing for Johnson unlawfully proroguing parliament.
March 4, 20214 yr EXACTLY I hope the average scottish(and English) voter can see through this charade. Unfort the 40% Tory vote consistently makes me think the usual suspects don’t. Same who think Jeremy Corbyn is a raging antisemite
March 5, 20214 yr @1367500616159932416 She's a really impressive politician - very persuasive. I only wish we had someone like that to root for to uphold and fight for the Labour Party values & policies. I guess it will be quite likely that she will have been found to have broken the ministerial code (which, if you're a Conservative is obviously fine by the way), I've not followed this closely but her strange forgetfulness over that meeting seems a little suspect. I don't however think she will go though. The argument from the SNP will be, we've got an election in May, let's 'put it to the people to decide'.
March 5, 20214 yr The Tories break it every other week and are often in contempt of parliament!! The implied message here is that the born to rule lot deserve power and can do what they want. The rest have to toe their landed elite line, or get out.

I do love seeing the face of a Tory who realises they have a great opponent! Same faces as were sat opposite Blair in 1994-1997 era
March 7, 20214 yr Papers are screaming about a new poll showing 52% wanting to remain part of the UK after the vitriolic campaign vs the SNP. This is just the narrative that they wanted.
March 7, 20214 yr I know. Wonder how much is vaccine related though as the alternative (that Sturgeon punished by a Westminster smear campaign) is depressing. But just one poll.
March 7, 20214 yr Let's put it to the test and hold a referendum then! If the British establishment are so confident of winning..
March 8, 20214 yr The poll has dodgy methodology but the papers aren’t so keen to point that out as it doesn’t feed their agenda It also made the BBC who have a policy of “not talking about individual polls” The first thing to go to the gallows in iAlba is the British Media
