10 is a lot better than 1, which Labour got in 2015 and 2019. It's also more than Labour got in 2017. It's a low point but we're still in there and we'll be back.
You are in a dream world Caltonian or just another English lackie. This loser post of yours is why Sturgeon managed to sabotage Independence for over 10 years. There is no Labour dummy in Scotland. Only ENGLISH LABOUR Owned and controlled 100% by the backers of sir Starmer. Get educated and stop making an idiot of yourself.
Ha ha, it really isn’t though! Maybe Labour’s high point is a few percent above the SNP at its lowest ebb, but they have to deliver now. Let’s see what they manage.
Oh my. That's just so sad. Thats an unnecessary blow. Independence voters voting Labour is baffling and wildly disappointing. Chaneil iad cho glic, na mo bheachd.
If Alba or any true Independence party or group would tell all Scots what the benefits are in SPECIFIC terms and why, no Scot would vote ENGLISH LABOUR . You see there is NO Scottish Labour.
The more interesting thing for me will be vote percentage. Under FPTP we know that both the SNP and Labour are just a few percentage points from either a stunning landslide or a terrible defeat.
If the figure of 10 is true, let’s just hope some of the more useless MPs are facing the chop. And if anyone good is gone, let’s hope the talent is retained, perhaps for Holyrood 2026.
I can’t see that happening But the SNP need to get rid of their smug b*llsh*t attitude of the last few years. We’re now gonna have smug idiot Labour MP’s…… sounds familiar
Labour has a lot on the in tray, doubt honeymoon will last long
Nhs strikes over pay Business's unhappy over import fees Economy tanking over brexit ( see starmers procalam@tion, nomsingke market in his lifetime) Expectations on labour delivering on child benefit, bedroom tax etc
I think 2026 will be all or nothing. Over to the geniuses who are convinced the SNP are useless. They can lead us to freedom. I'm not long in from doing polling duty and I'm frozen. Turnout is low in our constituency btw.. So time for the armchair critics' to do the lead work and show us how it is done. I will watch with interest.
Thanks and Yes, politics is swings and roundabouts. Labour had joy in 1997 and despair in 2019. SNP had joy in 2015 and 2019. Tonight was always going to be about Labour. That was obvious the moment Sunak stood in the rain.
However, it doesn't take much to lose the crowd. Labour will stumble because that is just how it goes for all parties. The SNP will have another golden day another chance.
The previous 2 exit polls have overestimated the number of SNP seats. If it happens again it’s single figure time. Hopefully Alba have managed to win a few, if not all, of the 19 they were going for.
Missing as in, people Cba voting for the shell of it’s former self that it’s become. Blame falls at Sturgeon’s feet. I voted through gritted teeth for them today. I’m a former member and activist
Declan just to be clear I don't mean you will be paying a porn star for sex I just mean you will say the election is rigged. No hard feelings Declan - I'll give you a suggestion for a new slogan. Make the SNP great again. There you go - no charge.
That is not how it works under FPTP. Some of the very best SNP MPs are likely to be defeated. Stephen Flynn appears to be at high risk if the Exit poll is correct
If the Exit Poll is correct then pollsters have got Tories massively wrong in Scotland. Or shy Labour unionist tactical voting? Tories getting more seats than SNP - might not happen - would be catastrophic.
No surprises here. All of the Scottish parties (1 Alba) plus all others are quite happy to join with Scottish Labour as they call it. Of course there is NO SCOTTISH Labour it’s ENGLISH LABOUR. So all parties are hiding the truth from the Scottish voters who are dumbed down and voted for an ENGLISH PARTY TO CONTINUE RECEIVING HAND OUTS. Gutless comes to mind.
Perhaps if the Tories hold or even gain seats in the North East , the oil & gas exploration factor has had a significant influence, where both Labour & SNP have apparently abandoned further hydrocarbon exploration ? There are tens of thousands of highly paid jobs at risk and these voters are very much aware of this .
Shocking
ReplyDeleteNot the wipe out that so many unionists had wrongly predicted.
ReplyDelete'Tis but a scratch. Eh?
DeleteAre exit polls accurate?
ReplyDeleteIts never usually as accurate in Scotland due to a smaller sample of data; BBC just caveating that just now.
DeleteThey are not accurate
DeleteNo. We should not wait for thr true results before drawing conclusions.
DeleteOor Nicla said it's 'broadly right' on STV. Maybe her sister can see the future after all.
DeleteOoft. My hunch of 8-15 looks to be accurate. That's awful for the SNP. My feeling is that a bit like 2017 that turnout will be down significantly.
ReplyDeleteStill let's hope that it gets better for the SNP.
Surprised at the Tories being as high as that and I would expect that Rishi Sunak keeps his seat.
Turnout being Scottish turnout above.
DeleteTurnout in Scotland will be the most important figure.
ReplyDelete10 is a lot better than 1, which Labour got in 2015 and 2019. It's also more than Labour got in 2017. It's a low point but we're still in there and we'll be back.
ReplyDeleteWell said.
DeleteGreat result then
DeleteHow precisely? Becoming an independence party instead of a gender fetishists one, or what?
DeleteYou are in a dream world Caltonian or just another English lackie. This loser post of yours is why Sturgeon managed to sabotage Independence for over 10 years. There is no Labour dummy in Scotland. Only ENGLISH LABOUR Owned and controlled 100% by the backers of sir Starmer. Get educated and stop making an idiot of yourself.
DeleteThey're already crowing that its the end of independence.
ReplyDeleteHa ha, it really isn’t though! Maybe Labour’s high point is a few percent above the SNP at its lowest ebb, but they have to deliver now. Let’s see what they manage.
DeleteOh my. That's just so sad. Thats an unnecessary blow. Independence voters voting Labour is baffling and wildly disappointing. Chaneil iad cho glic, na mo bheachd.
ReplyDeleteIf Alba or any true Independence party or group would tell all Scots what the benefits are in SPECIFIC terms and why, no Scot would vote ENGLISH LABOUR . You see there is NO Scottish Labour.
DeleteI always said that SINGLE figures would be resignation territory. So on this Swinney should NOT resign.
ReplyDeleteThe more interesting thing for me will be vote percentage. Under FPTP we know that both the SNP and Labour are just a few percentage points from either a stunning landslide or a terrible defeat.
ReplyDeleteIf the figure of 10 is true, let’s just hope some of the more useless MPs are facing the chop. And if anyone good is gone, let’s hope the talent is retained, perhaps for Holyrood 2026.
Can anyone confirm the first constituency to declare in Scotland could be Rutherglen and Hamilton West? Interesting if true.
ReplyDeleteFitzyFan
ReplyDeleteOh Declan? Where are you?
ReplyDeleteHe's out punching the sky while he counts that increase in SNP seats he promised us😁
DeleteA great result for Scots who want independence.
ReplyDeleteOh dear 😆
ReplyDeleteI hate their politics but that’s some result for Reform.
ReplyDeleteFascism surfaces in England with a bang.
ReplyDeleteBy voting overwhelmingly for a left of centre party?
DeleteIs education really that bad SNPland?
What do you think "surfaces" means in this metaphor?
DeleteNow, finally, will the complacent SNP hierarchy realise they can't take indy supporters for granted any more.
ReplyDeleteThis is good for holyrood 2026. Labour will have achieved nothing by that point, except pander to reform
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately Labour may well still be in a honeymoon period in May 26 , Sarwar now has a much better chance of being FM.
ReplyDeleteUnlikely. Sunak didn't go this early because he expected good times on the horizon
DeleteHoneymoon 100 days max
DeleteI can’t see that happening
DeleteBut the SNP need to get rid of their smug b*llsh*t attitude of the last few years.
We’re now gonna have smug idiot Labour MP’s…… sounds familiar
Labour has a lot on the in tray, doubt honeymoon will last long
DeleteNhs strikes over pay
Business's unhappy over import fees
Economy tanking over brexit ( see starmers procalam@tion, nomsingke market in his lifetime)
Expectations on labour delivering on child benefit, bedroom tax etc
The compliant unions will sook up to labour to the detriment of their members
DeleteAnd so it begins. If the exit poll is true, independence isn't dead, but the 2026 election starts now.
ReplyDeleteI think 2026 will be all or nothing. Over to the geniuses who are convinced the SNP are useless. They can lead us to freedom. I'm not long in from doing polling duty and I'm frozen. Turnout is low in our constituency btw.. So time for the armchair critics' to do the lead work and show us how it is done. I will watch with interest.
DeleteYep, low turnout is not good for a westminster election. Well done for your efforts. Don't let the trolls and the nutters get you down.
DeleteDon't you see it yet? Turnout is low because the SNP no longer inspire people precisely because they ARE useless.
DeleteOr they see it as an away fixture, know labour are going to win and frankly speaking, it doesn't matter a fuck what scotland votes.
Delete@ Chalks
DeleteThanks and Yes, politics is swings and roundabouts. Labour had joy in 1997 and despair in 2019. SNP had joy in 2015 and 2019. Tonight was always going to be about Labour. That was obvious the moment Sunak stood in the rain.

I'm glad the Tories are gone though.
The previous 2 exit polls have overestimated the number of SNP seats. If it happens again it’s single figure time. Hopefully Alba have managed to win a few, if not all, of the 19 they were going for.
ReplyDeleteStop taking the tablets
DeleteThey wont get a single seat.
Delete2 or 3 Alba seats would be amazing, it would embolden others to vote for them on the list in 2026 HR election.
DeleteDon't believe these exit polls for a second, very dodgy. If they are true it's only because snp votes will have gone "missing".
ReplyDelete🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
DeleteMissing as in, people Cba voting for the shell of it’s former self that it’s become. Blame falls at Sturgeon’s feet. I voted through gritted teeth for them today. I’m a former member and activist
DeleteStop the steal!
DeleteWe need to storm the capitol!
Declan ( Scottish Skier) to be fair has always said on WGD that the polls are all fixed. Now he is on to the next stsge of Trumpism.
DeleteI suspect you are correct Declan.I've always thought the party would return anywhere between 15 and 20 seats.
DeleteWhy would anyone fiddle exit polls? That deception could only last six hours, eight at most.
DeleteIFS you are nonceless.
Delete10:54 Declan thought a lot more than that, he promised an INCREASE in SNP seats!
DeleteDeclan just to be clear I don't mean you will be paying a porn star for sex I just mean you will say the election is rigged. No hard feelings Declan - I'll give you a suggestion for a new slogan. Make the SNP great again. There you go - no charge.
Delete'Scuse me while I punch the sky.🤡
DeleteSome of the Exit Poll constituency results are wild. Tories to win Aberdeen South, Argyll & Bute, Angus & Perthshire?
ReplyDeleteThats hard to believe
DeleteLife britnat peerage for SNP CEO, Mr Vow, Murray Foote.
ReplyDeleteExit poll has Tories winning 12 seats in Scotland.
ReplyDeleteWhich if true would be an indication of indy supporters abstaining as they did in Rutherglen by-election.
DeleteI think 10 seats will be good for the SNP, keep them honest and revitalise their zeal for indy.
ReplyDelete- there's a lot of dead wood down in westminster; better to have 10 high quality political heavyweight superstars than 38 subsidised port quaffers
That is not how it works under FPTP. Some of the very best SNP MPs are likely to be defeated. Stephen Flynn appears to be at high risk if the Exit poll is correct
DeleteIf I’m counting correct from Sky website, Tories have 3 NE, 3 Aberdeen, 3 south, Angus , Stirling, A&B. Can’t be correct, surely?
ReplyDeleteNot a chance
DeleteThat’s certainly what the exit poll is predicting. The exit poll is usually fairly accurate, but time will tell.
DeleteIf the Exit Poll is correct then pollsters have got Tories massively wrong in Scotland. Or shy Labour unionist tactical voting? Tories getting more seats than SNP - might not happen - would be catastrophic.
ReplyDeleteIf this exit poll is anywhere near accurate, then clearly tactical voting has hammered the SNP.
Deleteidentity politics at the expense of nationalism has hammered the SNP
ReplyDeleteI’d expect 19 not 10 seats
ReplyDeleteWhat an idiotic comment I've just deleted. What the hell did that even mean?
ReplyDeleteNo surprises here. All of the Scottish parties (1 Alba) plus all others are quite happy to join with Scottish Labour as they call it. Of course there is NO SCOTTISH Labour it’s ENGLISH LABOUR.
ReplyDeleteSo all parties are hiding the truth from the Scottish voters who are dumbed down and voted for an ENGLISH PARTY TO CONTINUE RECEIVING HAND OUTS.

There are tens of thousands of highly paid jobs at risk and these voters are very much aware of this .
ReplyDeleteLatest prediction by the BBC is the SNP will only hold onto 6 seats.
ReplyDeleteLabour needs to have made real progress on NHS and cost of living before Holyrood 26, otherwise they're toast.
ReplyDeleteENGLISH LABOUR will never do anything to aid the NHS. They are ENGLISH. Are you really that f ing stupid?.
