More polling reassurance for SNP as by-elections approach, while Greens reclaim second place GB-wide


In view of recent requests, I've also uploaded a podcast version of the above video on Soundcloud as a trial run, just to see if there's any interest in the audio-only format.  It's on Spotify too.

  1. Good as far as it goes. Greatest danger would be that the Swinney government disappoints removing the last electoral barrier to the populist/fascistic right.

    1. Hardly surprising after what happened the last time.

    2. I'm not sure we should accept that sort of flat statement.

  3. ...and put up a candidate for the George Street and Harbour (Aberdeen) by-election.

  4. Nicola Sturgeon is claiming that she is being subjected to misogynistic behaviour as a result of her ex husband’s criminal conduct. That is an outright lie. She is being questioned because as First Minister and Leader of the SNP she was told, directly, in the presence of others, on multiple occasions, that there were problems with the SNP finances, and she ordered SNP members to shut up and stop asking questions. She is either grossly incompetent or was deliberately avoiding the truth coming out. To play the misogynist card is utterly appalling. I now see her in an entirely different light. Dishonest, disingenuous and lacking integrity. What a legacy.

    1. Indeed, as the now infamous video showed.

    2. From control freak to playing the self pitying victim. The narcissist's playbook.
      She knew about the dodgy finances and I strongly suspect there's more that she knew that we don't know yet.
      It's an insult to the intelligence of those people who donated to the fund for her to pretend she didn't know.
      Those who are still attempting to defend her have extremely poor judgement or are wilfully naive.

    3. Anon 1244 I think you are a mysoginist hence your angst. Leave the women alone.

    4. Anon at 12.44 pm ... Of course she is being subjected to misogynistic behaviour. You are blind if you can't see it in amongst the various political blog posts and comments. Have a quick look at the comments below Craig Murray's blog which, in my view, is currently being wrecked by half a dozen or so posters who have taken over the comments section, spouting a combination of sweary baseless assertions and pure hatred. It would be funny if it wasn't so dire. A bunch of bozos took over WoS too, a few years ago, when "Stew" became obsessed with the trans debate. I haven't looked at WoS for almost three years, so I don't know what it's like now. I hope it doesn't happen on SGP, which I believe remains the most sincere, respectable and honest blog of them all.

    5. Anon at 6.52. Cannot decide if you are trying to be funny or are just very stupid. Stupid I suspect. Take your misogyny crap elsewhere. It’s becoming as common a falsehood as false cries of antisemitism. You do the real victims of misogyny a disservice you cretin.

  5. Scotland will regain its independence in spite of the SNP, not because of the SNP.

    3. Anonymous at 2:29. A blindingly searingly astonishingly original analysis. When is your next publication due in the shops?

    2. Thanks. If you are ever near an Apple Store you could maybe ask one of the people there about what is stopping you? They are usually very helpful.
