I literally have no idea where that chat came from. I clocked it on Twitter, asked Labour and SNP people at the count and they both said it was bollocks. Really poor journalism. I'd love to know who told him that. You knew from the moment Toni Giugliano arrived that it wasn't looking good for the SNP. He looked a beaten man from the moment he walked in the door. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if we are going down the Yellow Brick Road on that journey from the first of many SNP mandates for independence. First rule. Nobody gets to look behind the curtain! We have got this and only we know what the strategy is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
microdave Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Speaking of irrelevant rumps in the Central Belt, it's thoroughly pleasing to see that the busted flush Lib Dems dropped to an utterly pathetic1033 votes on the Clyde Riviera - just 250 more than a tammy-wearing independent candidate. Back in 2007, they were got 3800 votes and got 6500 - finishing second - in the same seat in 2003. They've collapsed like snow off a dyke and it's hilarious. Some of their results have been in the hundreds today which I find embarrassing(for them) for a party that were in coalition a decade ago. I suppose they're still paying for that. Quite right too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people may have voted for them instead of the Greens in error. Remember the guy that stood as a "Literal Democrat" and ended up stopping the Lib Dem winning.

I'm not sure why Jackie Baillie would say that she had asked for a recount after losing by 25 votes when she won by 1400 odd. I can't think of a single benefit of that to her. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O'Kelly Isley III Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Those in Scottish Labour who are finding solace in holding seats like Edinburgh South and Dumbarton, and making some marginal percentage gains elsewhere should really look southwards and see what has been happening across England. If politics was boxing then a referee might be entitled to stop the contest and lead Starmer back to the (former) red corner. And that matters to Scotland. I've lost count of the Labourites who have parroted the line to me about expressing solidarity across the UK and standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the brethren in Hull and Hartlepool. Well I have news for them - an awful lot of these folk have now fucked off to the Tories and other right-wing parties and won't be returning any time soon. Whither your solidarity now ? Time to wake up and sniff the coffee boys and girls. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd certainly be happy with that, although I suspect that the constituency is a touch more Green-friendly than most in the city. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is, of course, disingenuous, because there can be no meaningful Scottish recovery, unless we are independent first. Universal Basic Income for example, can't be implemented because we're not independent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
