ONE-FIFTH of Reform UK voters in Scotland would vote Yes to independence, says new Norstat poll

  1. I’m firmly against Reform and all they stand for but this is proof that we need to be a broad church. Independence is not exclusive to the Centre Left.

    1. Reform don’t stand for anything. They blow with the wind. If they thought there were votes/power/grifting potential in immigration that would be their policy. They homed in on the brexit brigade in the lead up to the referendum, and are sticking with policies that appeal to those knuckle draggers. Remember they supported P R till they thought they might do better in FPTP.

    2. 3.17 You are wrong reform and far right wing parties have absolutely no place in an independent Scotland. I am also sick and tired of hearing this ‘we need to be a broad church’ garbage. Who says we do?

    3. 9.22pm are you going to line up all Reform supporters against a wall and shoot them? It’s people like you who ( intolerant thugs) we could do without in an Independent Scotland

    4. 3.27 I am an anti fascist but you seem to want to deport someone who is born and bred in Scotland and votes for Scottish Independence. I am vehemently against a far right party who have no interest in Scotland apart from the take. If that makes me an ‘intolerant thug’ then so be it. Why should I show any sympathy to a party that is not Scottish, does not have Scotlands interest at heart and is controlled by multi millionaires from a different country? As for putting them against a wall and shooting them, you said that not me!!! Oh dear!!!

  2. Easy peasy. People who are serious and constructive about their immigration concerns will have no problem about legislation to prevent our nation's choices being swamped by the preferences of those from one other much larger country.

  3. The decision of the Home Office to ban Cenk Uygr from the UK is absolutely bonkers. Cenk’s opinions are entirely mainstream and in line with those of the British public The British public opposes Israeli action in Gaza and the West Bank by a ratio of five to one (YouGov April 2026). Labour / Likud spot the difference.

    1. Yeah but the UK (Labour) government has made it a terrorist offence to call out genocide here.

    1. Haiti's flag is based.
      "The coat of arms depicts a trophy of weapons atop a green hill and a royal palm symbolizing independence. The palm is topped by the Cap of Liberty. The motto L'Union fait la Force ('Unity makes strength') appears on a white ribbon below the arrangement."

      That is all.

  5. For the right wing press clamour for an enquiry into murrell. Not required. He’s pled guilty so end off.

  6. Correct strategy to appeal to these disaffected voters, James. The last thing they want to hear is to be hectored about how wrong they are and how deeply they should be ashamed. Instead, highlight where else Farage's lot are wrong, in ways they’ll respond.

    Indy needs a broad tent. People have their reasons for voting counterproductively. Appeal to their better interests, and win them back to the cause.

  8. I watched a bit of the Andrew Neill podcast this morning and was amazed to hear his interviewee, a bloke from the Scotsman, describe Wings over Scotland as a pro- Scottish independence site. It's not been that for years now.

  9. You will have to look very hard to find any criticism of a crooked embezzlement event in the SNP on WGD. These people debase themselves by acting as if the very plain fact that Westminster is without doubt even more crooked and at higher monetary levels then we should just overlook the Murrell's crookedness. They say a bad apple will in time rot the rest in the barrel. Well the Murrell's were there a very long time and they have debased WGD and others in the SNP.

    As ever the madcap Skier takes it to stratospheric levels of nonsense by saying Operation Branchform was a good thing for the SNP. Dr Jim still loves Nicola even though she should have gone to Specsavers as she claims she couldnae see this or that right under her nose but was adamant that the SNP finances were just fine.

    What a shameful episode. You numpties have no excuse. You were told.

      3.25pm it’s clear you do not understand what paranoid means. Not surprised as you are clearly a numpty. Happy to leave you singing God Save the Queen and Rule Britannia and all your other unpleasant songs.

      Thank you for using "numpty" in your response.
      In an ever-altering world it is a comfort to find that some things never change and some people like to stick with their tried and tested old reliables.
      I would like to buy you a can of powdered egg, but the world has moved on.
      I could treat you to High Tea on the Royal Clansman between Perth and Inverness? Sadly, alas, it is no more.
      But you remain with your witticisms intact.
      Many many many many many thanks for that, you adorable serviceable darling.

    4. IFS has an exceedingly limited range of insults.

    5. It's likely that by 2029 Scotland will be ruled by a fascist government in Westminster but IfS will still be girning about the SNP.

  10. Swinney’s decision to rule out an inquiry into the crooked goings on in the SNP is just making himself look as if he is either guilty of wrongdoing himself or is covering up for others. People are right to say he has a reputation for covering up SNP wrongdoings and his current actions just reinforce this reputation. It’s no wonder that Peter Murrells main staff member Sue Ruddick , Chief Operating Officer, left and moved on as she probably knew this day was coming done the line.

    1. 2:13,
      Indeed. You have to wonder, if the SNP have nothing to hide, why is Swinney point blank ruling out an enquiry?

    2. JS is angling for a Westminster inquiry - and a convenient bun-fight.
      (In the meantime Malcolm Offord may be able to help him out.)

    A look at Murrells illegal purchases Identifies weird purchases such as 9 vacuum cleaners in 4 years. Did he hand some of them out to Skier and Dr Jim? Weird stuff - weird people. Even Sturgeon’s favourite show Borgen was illegally purchased on DVDs.

    I often posted on SGP that idolising politicians was not a good idea. However, the numpty nicophants paid no notice and continued to idolise Sturgeon. They should note that Murrell even bought his toilet paper ( luxury, of course) with embezzled funds. Yes that’s right they wiped their arse with your donations and that shows the contempt they had for you numpties. You were warned but you preferred to idolise Sturgeon and call people warning you unionists. All you have done is waste great years for independence and demonstrate you truly are numpties.

    2. Numpty ifs feels confident to post after the self imposed silence after the election. Most folk i speak - even reasonable labour supporters believe the brit witchhunt has gone too far.

    As I said previously on many occasions over the years the Ring fenced indyref2 fund was a scam by Sturgeon and Murrell. Asking for donations from ALL independence supporters ( it was headed up yes.scot) when you have no intention of holding indyref2 is fraud. Swinney now finally admits the money has been spent ( obviously not on indyref2) and that is a crime.

    Incredibly Swinney’s admission keeps the fact that the Scottish Government ( Swinney) have been declared by the Court of Session that the Scotgov are in contempt of the Court of Session from the front pages of the newspapers.
    Scotgov refusing once again to make public papers about the persecution of Salmond by Sturgeon gang. John the Cleaner could not be more apt.

    1. Sturgeon claims she never saw the motorhome.
      She should have gone to Specsavers!

    2. She didn't say that while being interviewed. Please stop lying. Incidentally I prefer my own opticians.
