SNP jubilation as they remain dominant in latest cosmic crossbreak from YouGov

For today's YouTube commentary, I have all the details from the latest weekly YouGov poll of GB-wide voting intentions - which shows Reform UK with their biggest lead over Labour for two months, and the SNP remaining dominant in the Scottish subsample.  I also give my thoughts on the major problem the independence movement may face if Zack Polanski takes the Green Party of England & Wales into an electoral pact with the new Corbyn/Sultana party, thus leaving the independent Scottish Green Party with the dilemma of whether to run on a joint Holyrood list with a party that is unlikely to be explicitly pro-independence.  

You can listen via the embedded player below, or via the direct YouTube link, or on Soundcloud.

By the way, I received an email yesterday from someone who says they usually read the blog when at work, and therefore can't listen to the audio commentaries because it would be too noisy.  The good news is that YouTube provide auto-generated transcripts of each video, so if you turn the sound down on your phone before clicking the video link, and then go into the description section, you'll find a "show transcript" option.  Obviously it's AI-generated so there are always a few little errors, but it's usually 95% correct.
