As for labour they will be a one hit wonder, and Penny Mordaunt will be in afterwards, labour should be looking further after that But this labour old tories Appreciate the response but it's a word salad. What could the SNP have done to maximise Devo? The answer is nothing different policy wise. They're pishing about with pocket money and no ability to change any of the fundamental structural issues which are preventing the growth and inward investment you talk of. Same for whoever comes next.

Boris Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 11 hours ago, Cranston said: This post very sadly, sums up the division that has been sewn, by the Independence movement. They view politics solely as a vehicle for Independence, instead of governing for all of the people of Scotland. Its irrelevant to them, how Scotland performs as a nation for all of the people. Where now for the Yes campaign, what about asking the question instead of - how the Snp Greens coalition will deliver on the bread and butter of fixing shattered subdued Scotland. I'd put the Yes campaign in the bin for now, and set about repairing the mess that Scotland has become under the Yes campaign. Regards your last paragraph, I think that's what the electorate are doing by shifting from SNP to labour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH I don’t think they have England’s interests at heart either. They’re only interested in further lining the pockets of the very wealthy. They also seem to have a particular contempt for the working-class and lower-middle class that keep voting them in. The last 15 years have been catastrophic for this country (U.K.-wide) it’s like we’re all living in the soap opera of the Tory Party.

Ministryofdad Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Election year this year so all change or same old. Labour don't have a chance in Scotland or Wales so left with broken promises and a complete disregard for people who vote for them in. Sturgeon sails off into the sunset. Husband gets jailed for 18 months. A new merry a go round ensures. The real danger is the infiltration of migrants into island life. The British/ Christian overacceptance of welcoming all faiths into society when we all know reading history what happens. War is coming We have had it too good for too long.

Malinga the Swinga Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 12 hours ago, Gizmo said: I'd rather we had an FM who based their outlook on intellect and utilitarianism, actually. I care little for either religion and would prefer a secular FM, but I do have concerns about Forbes's views on abortion (equated to slavery under that branch of Christianity) at a time when we need to protect women's bodily autonomy and establish safe buffer zones around abortion clinics. Humza has already backed this. In fairness, I do note that her stance is to follow the majority and direction of travel and not bring her religion into her politics, which addresses some fears but raises others. Despite those concerns I still believe she would be a better FM, however that red flag still exists. The only "wonder" here is wonderment at your latest attempt to insinuate something, in your usual snide manner. Laughable comments on Forbes while completely ignoring Humza's inability to separate his religious beliefs from his job. I'll leave you to wallow in your ignorance.
