Bar chart showing the February independence polling from Norstat. Unweighted Yes has a massive lead: 56% compared to 37% No. With the published 2014 weighting it is Yes 48% compared with No 45%. If we take away the 2014 weighting, the Yes lead is 51% compared with 42% No.
I've reweighted the latest Norstat #Indyref2 poll to show what it looks like without the 2014 weighting manipulation. If we take out those undecided it shows Yes on 55%.

How Labour Together used ยฃ730k in illegal political donations to boot strap Keir Starmerโs political rise
Thatโs why they were targeted
In September, The National revealed that Labour Together had hired private investigators to look into journalists considered a threat to Keir Starmer.
Our Editor appeared on Novara Live to explain why she thinks the media failed to catch on THEN
Scotlandโs FOI Act law has received a rating of 103 out of a 150 points by the International Centre for Law and Democracy.
Scotland is in the upper rankings when compared to international laws.
The UK Westminster FOI Act currently has a rating of 92 points.

โThe eight most senior people in cabinet all have links to McSweeney going back years and decades. This entire political project is implicated and tainted by this scandal."
www.declassifieduk.org/starmer-on-b...
The reporting Labour Together wanted to bury was all about ยฃ730k in undeclared funding received on McSweeney's watch
That undeclared funding paid for the polling and campaigning that helped power Starmerโs rise to the Labour leadership, and then to Number 10. Its exposure could have proved fatal.
More importantly, APCOโs reports - and the security servicesโ interest - gave Labour Together material to brief to the media, effectively stopping further reporting into its undeclared finances.
At least one senior lobby journalist bought Labour Togetherโs fantastical story.
