I know it’s never going to happen but a combination of the U.K. wide poll and the Scottish poll gives the result shown below where the Tories are annihilated and the SNP would be the official opposition! That level of Tory result would be perfect. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just means that c***s in red would ignore us instead of c***s in blue. Don't get me wrong, I'd laugh and enjoy very much their humiliation and indeed the world would be a better place for it but, that result would be quite some distance from perfect. Despite the absence of any sort of mandate for Scotland they'd just carry out their Tory Zero programme with an even greater contempt for the Jocks who have, yet again, told them to go f**k themselves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it would be bittersweet but I’d probably still be pissing myself laughing by the time of the subsequent GE. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He really is the worst of the Labour party. He's learnt nothing from the monumental boot in the stones his former colleagues took, it's amazing he still gets in. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btb Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Quote The latest YouGov/Times Scottish Westminster voting intention poll finds that Labour’s vote share has increased by nine points to 31% since May, the best figure YouGov has recorded for the party since Labour’s collapse in Scotland at the 2015 general election, whilst the Tories are down seven points to 12%. Nonetheless, the SNP still come out on top, losing just one point to bring them down to 45%. Sampling taking place between 30th Sep & 4th Oct so mostly before the Tories Tax U-turn - my opinion is that wouldn't turn into many extra Scottish Labour MPs as the Yoon vote has been tactically aware since the 2015 GE. Can Labour win a majority of seats in England/Wales at the next GE - it might look possible now but I reckon two years of Tory whataboutery backed up by the rightwing press will make it a tough task for Labour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt n Vinegar Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Things must be getting REALLY bad for the Government - the "don't look over here, look over there" has reached even more ridiculous levels. Apparently the population is so pliable that what we need now to calm a restless population and nervous markets is a new photo of the late Queen's favourite pony. No, really... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-63187795 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could take, edit, and upload a hundred photos of their fucking horse (or King Chuckles) on a website within a couple of hours. Is this part of the whole "look how anachronistic and useless we are" schtick? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, really... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-63187795 Saw this earlier and couldn't understand why the BBC appear to think an article showing a horse, for no more significant a reason than who, precisely, owned the horse, was in any way a 'news' story or worthy of their main news website. It's mortifying to think that this is a supposed 'respected worldwide' organisation. Al Jazeera genuinely are more honest, objective, and impartial. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 I know these days he's probably got a grip on reality equivalent to the latter days of Bob Mugabe but with polls like that surely the Dirty Digger must be telling The Sun to start being nice to Keith 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
