Another Scottish Independence poll showing a small lead for Yes after turnout adjustment (please read the detail). Despite what the X abuse over the weekend would suggest, we don't have an opinion on the matter.
Proud to say we're cleaner than 79% of other sites tested. There are always improvements to be made of course, and we'll be actively looking into it.

Rod Liddle does FindOutNow.
● As mystified as the rest of us, the online polling company Findoutnow asked 2,000 people what qualities they found most admirable in the Labour leader, Sir Keir Starmer.
The overwhelming majority of responses were variations of “none”...
Following

- 38% said they were able to cover weekends
- Of those, 74% said they would work weekends for an increased pay rate.
