This works out at ยฃ1321 for every man, women and child, of ยฃ5812 a year for the classic family with 2.4 bairns.โ Gordon Broon big labour guy calls his โ think tankโ Our Scotlands future.

Hilarious delusions.

Even with the entire Scottish Press and media lying there heads off ab out 'Independence is Finished' are you going to close that gap?

I think we need more Scottish Labour MPs in Westminster. We need Scotland to have a voice in the next United Kingdom government. The more Labour MP's there are from Scotland, the bigger the voice for Scottish people in the United Kingdom government. We need the Scottish voice in the UK government.

Humza Yusuf is a nasty racist and I certainly won't be voting for any party that has anything to do with him in the next election. You could tempt me to vote green but as things currently stand they have basically no chance of winning. Labour seems like the only option available in Scotland for a party run by people who don't outright hate us. I have no loyalty or love for Labour, they have mishandled and misled with nearly the same ferocity as the Conservatives. But if the choice is between the Quisling Tories, hateful Humza, or milquetoast Starmer, I find myself leaning towards the latter.

Labour is dead in Scotland!!
1 elected MP at Westminster out of 59 Scottish MPs.
2 Elected MSPs at 2021 Holyrood elections(the other 20 were List(regional) MSPs allocated by the Proportional Representation algorithm. Labour has no chance in Scotland.
On a FPTP system both Labour and Conservatives are a poor, poor second to SNP ie
Westminster 2019 Election SNP – 48, Labour – 1, Conservatives – 6, Lib Dems – 4.
Holyrood Election 2021 SNP – 62, Labour – 2, Conservatives – 5, Lib Dem – 4
The D'Hondt PR algorithm levels up the seats to the losers to balance out the parliament, but it's obvious that SNP is by far the most popular Party in Scotland by a massive amount.
SNP still got 40% of the Regional(List) votes compared to 17.8% for Labour and 23.49& for Conservatives

Pretty shoddy presentation by the usually good TLDR News, getting some basic stuff wrong and like so much we see, comes across as a blinkered English view of Scottish politics. Lets revisit after the next GE and see how few of the 10 predicted seats Labour take (I predict 1, with Ian Murray holding his seat). Even after the chaos of NSs resignation those disenchanted with the SNP will not go to Labour but likely to the Scottish Greens. This whole video is disappointing, mis-pronunciation, wrong 'facts' and Englandcentric, need to do better TLDR News.

Everyone keeps talking about how divided the SNP are… but like how? The example used has nothing to do with division, just someone resigning over false statements. What actually is the divide? I don't get it. Its not divided at all as far as I can see?
Also 5:25 is an incorrect statement, the greens have supported independence for ages and are a much bigger party than Alba and are in coaltion with the SNP? That is a research failure wow.
Also 6:09 but why would that happen? It didn't happen and would never happen. Its like saying the conservatives are divided because of the existance of the scottish family party, and conservatives might vote with their feet at the next election. I looked up Alba's vote share on wikipedia and it was so low it was just a dash, presumably rounded down to 0. Bizzare claim.

Scottish nationalism is weird. They really like to pretend as if they're just like the Irish being opressed, ignoring how they were an integral part of Britain and liked it. Scotland chose to join England after it went bankrupt over its own imperial projects.

Scotland is over 70% pro-EU. The English/British Labour party is pro-Brexit, and even worse pro, UNION and anti-Scottish Independence. So the answer from this Scottish Born is NO. Labour like the Conservative Party are finished across OUR COUNTRY. Scotland will be at the Top table at the EU, NATO and the UN. 3rd country England has no easy way back and right now will not even admit the massive mistake called BREXIT. The SNP will quickly gain over 100,000 members again and even NOW the SNP are still the largest political party in the UK by the membership.

Labour are in bed with the Tories all over Scotland, a vote for Labour is a vote for the Tories, end of Story. As for your "Polls" they mean nothing until votes are cast in an election. IF Scotland had a balanced media then it would already be independent as ALL Media is very pro the Union and all but lies about how the SNP has done over the last 15 years and does not point to the reasons Scotland is doing poorly. If YOU do any real research you will find that most issues of social and economic problems it is all down to Thatcher and limited powers in Holyrood.
