Labour have the support of barely ONE TENTH of Scottish voters in landmark Find Out Now poll
The new GB-wide poll from Find Out Now is a genuine landmark, because it's the first poll from any firm since the general election to show Labour on less than 20% support across Britain. But that's positively stellar compared to Labour's performance in the Scottish subsample, where they have barely one-tenth of the vote and are languishing in fifth place. You can learn all the details in tonight's YouTube commentary, in which I've also randomly chucked in an Edinburgh Fringe recommendation for the play Devil's Point.

Naeb’dy will work with the Facebook fascists fae RefUK.
Swinney will declare an overwhelming “victory” and remain Mayor of Brigadoom Parish Cooncil.
and when he is asked about independence he'll say 'now is not the time'.
DeleteWot ? Nae Alba?
DeleteAlways a mystery to me why labour voters would consider being governed by Truss, Johnson, Blair, Starmer is a good thing for Scotland.
ReplyDeleteIt would be lovely to have David Steel back as MP for Roxburgh, Selkirk and Peebles. He could show Jo Swindon a thing or two... and all in his own accent.
ReplyDeleteThanks for mentioning Jo Swinson. Just seeing her name in print brought back the hilarity of wondering which accent she would be showcasing on the media on any given day. My favourite was Busy Cotwolds Mum, although Outback Sheep Farmer's Wife came in a close second. Thanks again.
DeleteJo Swinson was my MP, the invisible woman that only appeared in Scotland for photo shoots and British TV media
DeleteIs she Prime Minister yet?
DeleteIsn't she the Dalai Lama by this stage?
DeleteAnother shocking poll for the Scottish Greens. It's not going to matter who the leader is if they have no MSPs.
ReplyDeleteWhen is the new corbyn party launching?
ReplyDeleteNot seen IfS for a while. I do hope he hasn’t given up on the cause.
ReplyDeleteFarage isn't going to win so IFS has packed it in
DeleteThe creeps, meanwhile, keep creeping.
DeleteI see the National Library of Scotland is to be nicknamed "Fahrenheit 451". Ray Bradbury would be so proud to be proven right!
ReplyDeleteRobin McAlpine. Is it/he a bot or just an ar** h**e? I think it/he should be told.
ReplyDeleteWhat’s your problem with him? McAlpine can be patronising, and he really needs to learn to use spellcheck as his typos are an longstanding embarrassment, but when it comes to his point of view: he’s broadly very right.
DeleteWhat do you think we need? More managerialism? More centralisation? More treating Scots like children who ought to know to wheesht while the political class is speaking, explaining to them why we’re shite?
Trump thinks Ukraine and Palestine should give up territory. Would he agree to Japan taking Hawaii islands in 1941 - come to think of it US occupied the islands anyway as well as the Philippines. Trump doesn't care just like Putin,
ReplyDeleteWhat’s your solution to ending the Ukraine war then?
