Yet another poll suggests Burnham surge is a damp squib - SNP are dominant in the Scottish subsample


An audio podcast version of the above video can be heard HERE, and will soon be available on Apple Podcasts HERE.

As regular readers may recall, I've been an elected member of the SNP's Policy Development Committee since last October, which meant I had an automatic delegate spot at SNP National Council in Port Glasgow yesterday.  As far as I could see the entire event was held in private session without the media being allowed in, so I can't say anything about what happened inside the hall, and instead I'll just give you my now-traditional selfie from outside the venue just to prove that I was there.  As I've mentioned once before, the last time I spent any time in Port Glasgow was when I was an extra on the film Anna and the Apocalypse, which entailed being chased down a residential street by zombies, so no jokes please about any similarities or contrasts between the two experiences.

SNP settle for one by-election win out of two - but Keir Starmer will only be settling for a taxi

By-election analysis

Just a quick note to let you know that I have a new article at The National analysing last night's three by-election results, which you can read HERE.  I'll try to make a video later on as well, although having stayed up most of the night, I'm a bit groggy-eyed at the moment.
