Brexit is devastating for the fishing industry.

I’m confused … every day there seems to be a new sex pest in the snp … or is it just one that gets mentioned every day ?

Indyists define England via who England votes for why can't Scotland be defined in the same way. 

Feel free. Just don't define us by who 3% of us vote for.

Interesting. I wonder if even the weather will be a factor. Its forecast to be pretty awful by the looks of things, i wonder who that’d benefit, if anyone.

I read yday on twitter there's been some studies on that and found that weather didn't make any difference. 

Last election (2016) the polls overstated snp support in constituencies by over 4%, a repeat of that rues out a majority and probs means losing seats. It's all about whether the SNP can get their voters out their voting not saying they'd vote for them. 

Tbh people are fairly apathetic towards holyrood elections generally, turnout is barely over half and I cannot see that changing much this year.

More than that will vote for the SNP who have their own sex pest issues

What if Scotland get knocked out in the group stages at the Euros, would they get behind the mighty three lions then? INGERLUUUND INGERLUUNNND INGERLUUUND NAA NAAA

That's not how local rivalries work.

Interesting positioning from Scotland two, union-supporting, red tops. Damage limitation? 

[Ryan1984]

Genuinely think Johnson’s ‘Labour opposition who play political games’ will cut through. Like we’ve said, Starmer needs to start pushing ideas and policies a bit more.

good stuff...Biden is showing proper global leadership there.

Shame for those who have been investing in pharma stock though.

So, war with France then.

[steviewevie]

They'll love a war with France in Hartlepool.

Sending the navy to protect Jersey and the fishing fleet is perfectly timed news for the night before an election. 
 

They couldn’t have planned it any better if they tried.

Starmer needs to quickly declare that he would definitely nuke france if it comes down to it.

You better hope that Yorkshire doesn’t go for independence then. 

It's more populous than Scotland and with a bigger economy.
