David Griffiths As happened yesterday if anyone mentions these things they are liable to get into trouble. Yet it's obvious that identity plays a role in politics

How soon you forget, David. That's what the IRA/Sinn Fein did for decades until the realised it was counterproductive

I've mentioned this several times. In the US Presidential Election, there are endless references to the black vote & the Latino vote. Whereas in this country, there is no discussion of the Muslim vote or the Irish Catholic vote, the latter of which particularly affects Scotland.

Remember, Kate Forbes is just another grievance-mongering Nationalist with little idea how to prioritise economic growth and wealth creation over division.

More capable than most, but it’s a very low bar.

David Griffiths The General Election result is more competitive than many thought. The more seats the SNP wins in Scotland the less likely there is to be a Labour government. In that case the Tories could sneak in

As I posted yesterday. Voting SNP helps to ensure a Conservative Westminster Government. As happened in all these General Elections which the Conservatives won.
2015
2017
2019
Voting SNP means Scotland gets the Government England votes for.

Judging by National (!), no-one seems to be pretending Flynn isn't set on being FM post 2026, or that he doesn't intend to manufacture a way to become an MSP in interim. All of which should be of interest to voters in South with a general election imminent.

Jonny Bell Stephen Flynn seems to think that Holyrood and Westminster have equal status. They do not. Holyrood is a subaltern outfit, and the superior legislature is at Westminster. If Holyrood produces bad or dangerous legislation, like the GRR, Westminster is completely right to stop it.

This proves how essential it is that Scots vote Labour if they don't want yet another Conservative Government. Don't throw away your vote on The SNP.

Following a lengthy spell in the garage, the last rites have been read to my once-trusty jalopy. The scrapyard beckons. Do any of my wonderful followers work in or have access to a car warehouse or dealership from where I could source a low-cost replacement? I am brand agnostic.
