Surely you can acknowledge that Labour will have to take votes from the Tories to win an election, but also think that the line has to be drawn somewhere when there are MPs defecting: allowing Elphicke into the PLP, with her record in mind, seems like a pretty logical place, in my mind at least, for that line to be drawn.
I mean she could have had a Road To Damascus type conversion starting with divorcing her sex pest hubby,
No one questioned Dugdale for suddenly deciding she was now voting nationalist
But yeh Occam's razor says she's saving her own skin

Sounds like a wrong un just trying to keep her seat, but...
Hardly a blow for labour is it? Proves it broadening its appeal rather than trying to narrow it and so victory moves closer
If the SNP stuck to that tack rather than campaigners demanding it purge itself of anyone to the right of Neil Kinnock they might not be in the shit they're in right now.

"backs Swinney after the pair held talks."
John: "f**k off you time wasting roaster"

Is there anything to be said for getting Swinney to wear a nice wig?
Benny Hill won't pop up and start slapping him on top of his head?

Ha so it's a totally democratic and transparent process then, I knew me and that SNP lot were missing something, we're so silly
For some reason I keep thinking of Michael Fish explaining that technically it wasn't a hurricane, just 100mph winds that blew over all those houses

Hang on now, is just coronating a new first minister without the public getting a say not undemocratic? These "SNP" lot whoever they are seem to think so...

Not born with a silver spoon in her mouth
Spoonerism!
Fate Korbes?
The Fate of Corbz - Jeremy Corbyn!
Could the SNP be electing a leader too extreme for the electorate?
More after the break, 3-2-1!

How much wood would Edward Woodward cut if Edward Woodward could cut wood?
Something to ponder for all of us there

It’s a question of imposing your religious beliefs on others. Mhairi Black made an excellent statement about “If your faith says you cannot drink alcohol, then don’t. If your religion says you cannot enter same sex marriage, then don’t. If your religion does not allow for abortion, then do not have one.” But don’t tell other people what they can or can’t do.
Isn't telling other people that they can't tell other people what they can't or can't do a clearcut example of telling other people what they can't or can't do?
How do you tolerate the intolerable etc etc

The same Lib Dems who jumped into bed with the Tories and brought us years of austerity and ultimately Boris the Johnson nearly wiping out their own party as a result? Mind you they did give us Wullie Rennie and his unique brand of promoting his party.
Well I've had a look at the 4 in question and I think they're different ones
Seriously though the first aim of the new SNP leader should be to get Christine Weir back on side. That lottery won paid for the SNP surge and it's no surprise since they turned off the taps it's went to shit. Pissing them off directly led to the SNPs parlous financial state and where Pete finds himself now.

I'm assuming that's another pissweak troll attempt from a serial offender, considering the Lib Dems are very much part of the "anything but independence" camp.
As much as the greens have to realise anyone who doesn't agree with them isn't Genghis Khan, you have to realise my debonair devils advocate stylee isn't bait
Given the snp have kicked out some supposed independence supporters and won't work with the other ones, there's only unionists left , and your 4 lib dems get the SNP over the line for the least effort

There's nothing like a man who was shit at the job over 20 years ago to turn SNP fortunes around
Whoever gets the gig should tell the greenies to do one, they've proven themselves to be unreliable and shout fascist at anyone further right than Karl Marx. Get the Lib Dems on board

Swinney considering standing! Oh god! As if the SNP hasn't enough troubles.
What's changed since last year? His family getting on his tits by now?

Whoever's next just needs to get the Lib Dems on board for non-independence matters, they're pretty much Green but pragmatic about stuff not absolutist culture warriors. Would avoid the Alba thing. You can thank me later Kate

It's at this point Humza should just go "come on then ya fuckers" and call an election and blame the greens for it, but as we know from SIR STUART WING'S analysis they've ran out of money - a scottish election and a UK election in the same year would have the receivers in

Massive 385-0 away win sees us rewarded with 60 bonus points
Meanwhile in reality our 30th league defeat of the season. What a time to be alive etc. At least it's fucking over

“That’s a wonderful save” as the replay shows the ball being struck straight at the keeper.
McCoist is a terrible commentator
He took about 5 tellings before he admitted the Chelsea goalie shouldn't be letting goals in at his near post

Ah, it's the old 'M15 Conspiracy' conclusion then.
I assume that a Fundraiser of party members and supporters to cover Pete's legal costs is already up and running, in tandem with the new Fund for Indy Campaigning.
Be ironic if they had a gofundme for Pete but spent it on something else

Lose next week and the marras will have achieved the fourth lowest points total in the league one era.
If you're gonna fail, fail bigly
It'll also be our lowest points total in the 3pts for a win era, regardless of the result next week

Unbelievable post which attempts to justify slavery by the English to their colonial sugar and tobacco plantations.
Are you fuckin deranged?
Difficult to say, going by your use of "initiated" you're working off a different dictionary to the rest of us

I think its more likely to be pensioners etc who haven't recognised the fact the tory party now is full of bellends, racists, sex pests and just the plain thick, who make Norman Tebbit look like your anything goes free-wheeling uncle in comparison, and is a long way from the slightly portly cigar-smoking men who put business first they used to vote for or that nice Rory Stewart
