Sample in the latest supposedly 'All to play for' poll has been adjusted, skewed in favour of, the 2024 General Election result when the electorate were duped by Labour 'Change', before Mandelson, and before they screwed everything up and is thus a useless outlier - have faith!

Scotland remains a progressive outlier with only half the level of concern about immigration and no chance of Reform UK winning even one constituency – Libby Brookes must improve YouGov, no friend of the SNP sees no sign of Reform UK coming first anywhere. Reform UK in Westminster polls – ahead consistently with up to a third of the voters. Reform UK in Scotland &#821…

I remember the Vietnam War well. Trump should too — we're the same age.

I was too short to serve and lost good friends in the war. Trump pretended to have bone spurs.

That war was characterized by lies, arrogance, and stupidity.

What's happening in Iran is starting to feel a lot like Vietnam.

No… Tucker,

you are not welcome, forgiven, excused, or given the benefit of the doubt.

You laughed on TV while children suffered and you did it for years, because the money was good.

You can rot.

oh this is a slight problemo..yikes.

They laughed at us because Americans were stupid enough to "vote" him back into office. Now they look at us with disgust and distrust.

Aww so nice...Scotland feels so graetful for having their massive massive oil and gas & renewables etc resources taken as gratis by England...so 'uk' is sooo so rich..awww...

A remarkable find in Maui! We identified the 96th hawksbill turtle in Hawaii and named him Cousteau, highlighting the importance of marine conservation efforts.

Cool, just can't undertsand why you praise English HQ'd Labour in Scotland...about anything.

Donald Trump is the embodiment of the seven deadly sins rolled into one and I don’t give a fuck how many stunts he pulls with the Bible, nothing will change that fact.
Nothing.

A re-elected SNP government will expand Techscaler, create local Pre-Start Centres to help turn ideas into viable businesses, and back under-represented founders and young entrepreneurs with targeted grant funding and support to scale.

#BothVotesSNP on May 7 for a government that’s on your side.

A re-elected SNP government will introduce a Private Jet Tax and a Mansion Tax on homes worth over £1 million, making the wealthiest pay more to help support local services across Scotland.

Make it #BothVotesSNP on May 7 for a government that’s on your side.
