this sounds awfully similar to the pitch that your party made in 2019 before the SNP won 81% of Scottish seats and placed ahead of
@ScotTories
in 90% of Scottish seats.
Are you concerned that the same message will be met by the same emphatic rejection?
This year, voters will have an opportunity to beat the SNP and stop their divisive plan to break up our country.
In seats across Scotland it’s the

who can defeat the SNP and ensure the focus is on your real priorities, like rebuilding our NHS and growing the economy.

How incredibly disingenuous - if Labour win in Scotland then they will spin it as a rejection of Independence and parade with a fictional ‘death of the Indy movement’.
Any Labour votes from Indy supporters will be counted as anti-Indy votes.

Honestly might be one of the worst takes/spins ever. Labour have had how many opportunities through opposition debate days to bring a motion - they didn’t bother. Labours amendment dilutes the SNPs. SNP wanted a vote on their stronger motion that calls out collective punishment.

Very interesting development. Reform will likely lose their deposits in every single constituency while splitting the Tory vote quite considerably.
Is this a good thing or would you rather see Reform stay away from Scotland entirely?
BREAKING: Reform UK have said they plan to stand in every Scottish constituency at the next General Election.
Story to follow.

Scotland (the country) collectively voted for remain (62%). Scotland was overruled by the rUK like in the GE of 2017, 2019 etc.
Scotland voted as part of the UK yes, but the differing results within the individual countries constituting the UK are relevant/comparable.

If the cameras are cut off and the gallery emptied of journalists as it seems it may well be, I am assuming that Hansard will still be there to prepare a public record of every word spoken? Can anyone confirm this?

With all the spin being put out tonight, you may want to spin the second edition of our ‘Westminster Wheel’
