Blair had charisma and a personality (manufactured, admittedly). Starmer is a nothing focused only on getting the keys to Number 10 - not so he can do anything with them, but so he can claim a win for sensible right-wing politics: the kind your average Daily Mail reader will love. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It all turned to shite, but at least there was some hope and excitement at the start. I think the last time I was excited about Scottish politics was the referendum. mods please 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherrif John Bunnell Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 A terminally dull man who pretty much supports every nasty Tory policy is definitely the person to shake up UK politics. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trogdor Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 (edited) Has Starmer entered the race to be leader of the SNP? Edit - He's so tragic, he would lose to Regan. Edited March 22, 2023 by Trogdor 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sturgeon's resignation blindsided everyone apart from those in her inner circle and possibly even some of them. Robertson was out the country at the time. By the time he's back Yousaf has announced with Lloyd, Murrell and so on in his corner as the continuity candidate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salmond and media trained Sturgeon wiped the floor with everyone. No one else is close. This current crop of candidates/shitebags* are going to be taking regular pastings from Dross, Sarwar and even Alex CH. Just let that sink in…. * delete as appropriate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 Robertson should have been disqualified for letting the nick of that 'First Dad' patter pass under his byline. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarrbridgeSaintee Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 Any shine Sturgeon had left will be worn off soon when everything unfolds. Should we be unfortunate to have Yousaf as our FM, it'll harm him immensely. Forbes is easily the most competent, but she won't keep those ex-Labour types who jumped ship after 2014. The only positive the SNP can take from this debacle is that there's a chance the corrupt, bad actors could be completely rooted out. of the party It's just a chance though, and a slim one at that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the same token @Savage Henry has insisted 1800 times that there's only one serious candidate and that it's not really a contest, equally with no evidence. I agree that Forbes has competency questions to answer, but Yousaf is to competent ministership what John Barnes was to football management. A veneer of beige liberal Twitter friendly takes does not actually make him competent leader for this country. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yousaf being competent wasn’t the point I was trying to make in the post because he clearly isn't, but it’s hardly a ringing endorsement to say that she’s less incompetent than him, and there’s not much she’s done to prove any great level of competency so far.
