If Anas Sarwar and the Scottish Labour party have an issue with being bound to a UK wide political union, I have a solution for them but I don't think they'll like it.

Something magnificent about Kemi Badenoch's self-confidence, and her claim that the Mandelson affair is entirely down to her asking questions at PMQs. Like a toddler who thinks their plastic steering wheel is controlling the car.

News clipping where Labour admits setting up Scottish electoral system specifically to block the SNP.

News clipping where Labour admits setting up Scottish electoral system specifically to block the SNP.

Yup. Labour set up the Scottish electoral voting system specifically to prevent an SNP majority. 2011 was a freak, and is very unlikely to be achievable again.

Aim of 'Scottish' media seems not to be to report the news but to publish anything they can which shows Scotland, its government, or its desire for self determination as negatively as possible. Just count the 'blow to SNP/Indy' articles in the weeks ahead. #Scotland #IndependenceIsNormal #GE2026
