Labour does'nt need Scottish votes to retain the keys of No10. It has it's own battle to fight with Reform UK, Just let them get on with it.
In Holyrood, The only parties who give a toss about Scotland are the two registered Scottish parties SNP & Green. A vote for a unionist party is a wasted vote.

If you are confident that a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, you stop it and board it. That way, you have evidence.
If you don't really care if a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, but you just want to kill people, you blow the boat up. That way, the irrelevant evidence is gone.
