Did Malcolm Offord say that Anas Sarwar approached him to work together to stop the SNP? I did actually see that with my very own eyes, on national TV, in public without any parliamentary privilege. If Labour don’t like it then sue Offord for slander. Trying to airbrush history is not a good look.

Meanwhile they're paying for an advertisement van to drive round with.. SNP ARE CRIMINALS.. plastered all over it. Hypocrites.

Labour (in Scotland) should take down the fake stuff because it’s fake. The clip of Reform accusing Labour is real. They may contest the validity of Reforms statement. That is up to Labour to prove.

True and it’s mega frustrating that the Westminster Labour government, that can decide on everything, gets to do so with a super majority on only 33.7% of the vote - much like the PC polling 😖

16 constituencies (areas) each with 6 seats. The proportional allocation is bounded by each area. Get 50% in an area, you should get 3 seats in that area.

Folk in England are rightly concerned about the level of promotion the BBC gives Farage's Reform, and the probability that this will sway voters.

It's nonstop anti-SNP coverage from the BBC in Scotland - and has been for years. Yet despite this it is still by far the most popular party.

You are only 1.6% away from grabbing that last list seat from Reform. The SNP list vote will get zero SNP List seats, so SNP voters should be voting SNP 1 Scottish Greens 2 to simply stop a Reform MSP getting elected. Get enough SNP 2 votes stiffer to the SGP and also take one from Labour

Nationalists? The Scottish National Party.

I thought it was only Boris Johnson that tried to paint the SNP as nationalists.

IMHO, voting SNP 1 SGP 2 would produce a Parliament that would change the optics. Every time, it ends up almost 50/50 Indy/unionist. Getting that to 66/33 would produce a super majority and also give a majority that breaks that “no appetite” trope that the unionists MSPs trot out.

It’s only a cost issue when they want to make it one. Liz Truss's January 2022 trip to Australia as Foreign Secretary cost taxpayers an estimated £500,000 for a private government jet. That’s the cost of this analysis for the cost of a return flight of a minister.

And for further perspective, the new front door at the House of Lords at the Palace of Westminster cost approximately £9.6 million, despite initial estimates of £6.1 million.

That’s nearly 20x the proposed cost of the analysis for a new front door.

The cost overrun on its own is 7x

A lot of money!

Well half a million of a 27 billion budget is 0.0018%

Put that into perspective: if you had £1,000 and gave that % to charity, it would be 1.8p

It’s also money spent in Wales that mostly would end up in Wales through salaries spent in pubs, food shops etc

Alarmist reporting

Interesting BBC article about independence in Wales. Interesting because of the framing. For example “Plaid's next steps involve a National Commission, costing half a million pounds from the Welsh government's £27bn budget, that would ‘lay the foundations’ of a future independence plan.”

All the controversy on the SNP looking at price caps on essential food, I would ask you to read this little snip it from Bloomberg .

This is designed to motivate SNP 1&2 voting to maximise the unionist seat count

Miscalculated poll according to Ballot box Scotland. Probably a frightener result to motivate people to vote SNP 1&2 to maximise the unionist seats

Is this a frightener polling result, designed to motivate SNP 1&2 to maximise unionist seats?

Absolutely fantastic statement for the Telegraph to make in their article where not only did the provider of their MRP forget to remove Greens from constituencies and suggest Reform's strongest seat in Scotland would be Strathkelvin and Bearsden, *they didn't even do D'Hondt correctly*

Except that the Scottish Greens are only standing in 6 of the 73 constituency seats so a little difficult to vote for the Scottish Greens except on the list.

Vote SNP on the constituency and Scottish Greens on the list to minimise Tory, Reform and other unionist parties.

SNP predicted to miss a list seat in the South by 42%. Vote SNP 1 Scottish Greens 2 to get up to 3 additional Scottish Green Indy supporting MSPs and that’s 3 fewer unionists. Here’s the maths

But any new Scottish debt is 100% for Scotland to pay.

Any your unionist supporting ideology thinks that’s completely the right and fair thing.

It’s good to know you moved to your happy place. You won’t be bothered when independence happens as you made your choice where you want to live.

So when Westminster funds HS2 from debt (new or not paid off), Scotland is allocated a population proportion of the debt interest forever. 10 year gilts are paying 4.75% interest.

£100bn x 4.75% x 8% =0.08 £380,000,000 allocated to Scotland every year for an English project, forever.

You live in England. Why are you voting in a Scottish election?

So it would be fine for Scotland to issue bonds to pay for this and have England pay 91% of the debt interest?

We are within touching distance of an SNP majority and securing a referendum on independence, and the power is in your hands.

Don’t sit this opportunity out. Make sure you are registered to vote - the deadline is midnight tomorrow.

And how is the Scottish government expected to pay for all the investment? Borrow and increase the national debt? Oh, that’s the prerogative of Westminster who can borrow £100bn to build a railway that goes nowhere near Scotland yet Scotland has to pay for.

Really! Two child cap, winter fuel allowance, tuition fees, bus fares, low cost housing, best paid NHS staff, baby boxes, first school day package.

Do you actually know anything about Scotland?

You really think that Bailie uses the NHS?

Yet there is no daily call in the press for the government to collapse due to the state of the railways. Only in Scotland is the unionist backing press pointing the finger at the Scottish government. It’s unionist propaganda.
