    I put it entirely down to him telling Douglas Ross to "grow up" during the first leaders debate.
    It won't last. (Even though he is a fairly like-able bloke)

      Alba increasingly becoming the Scottish Renua, it would appear:

        That would be a beautiful fate. If only Cherry had jumped too.

          What's the Greens position on Independence in Scotland? The party is pro it in Wales.

                  So Johnson goes from not allowing a referendum to forcing one? These are both the same problem, of course. And he can go fuck himself.

                    What is it about the Tories and referendums? Unless they deliberately want to lose that is.

                        The 2nd Leaders debate is on STV tonight.
                        Anyone watching?
                        PSG v Bayern is my priority viewing, so I'll watch it on catch-up tomorrow.

                          Watched the Leaders debate last night. No-one landed any real knockout blows, or made any expensive mis-steps.
                          The leaders were allowed time to cross-examine one another, and unsurprisingly they all saved their best attack lines for the First Minister.
                          But some of them chose to use a chunk of that allotted time to promote their own policies instead, so in terms of moving the debate forwards, it was all a bit of a non-event to be honest.

                            Thanks, I might watch some of that. I did watch the first one live.

                              The SNP promising yet more "consultation" or whatever on GRA reform is infuriating and pathetic.

                                  He's only standing on a regional list, not in a constituency.

                                    OK. From several thousand miles away, I'd SNP/Green, because no-one else has anything interesting to say. Plus, I'd quite like Scotland to be independent.

                                    I'm on r/Scotland on Reddit.

                                    I've learned one thing: Douglas Ross is a Rangers supporting linesman? Who wasn't even shown to be the leader of his own party on their leaflets? (Although, by this time, they have sent so many out, the Greens could paper the fucking moon with them.)

                                    Oh, and can we all join together to say "I like Scotland, but FUCK YOU 'ALBA'"

                                      SLab Twitter getting mighty angry about "uncosted" SNP manifesto promise of free dental care. Never change, Duncan Hothersall, never change.

                                          Pro-Terfers. But won't they lose more of their record-buying market than they gain from the publicity?

                                          Have Salmond and Galloway always been utter cunts, even in their youth days (obviously Ross has classist and racist reasons for being a Tory cunt)?

                                            Salmond has always been a nasty bumptious bullying sex pest bastard. Originally on the left of the SNP, but also moonlighting as oil economist of fuckin RBS. And anyone actually Scottish who went to St Andrews should be regarded with the utmost suspicion. He's remarked on his admiration of Fianna Fail before (obs pre Crash), and that about sums him up, a principle free appeal to all wanker ideological gadfly beyond the single issue of Indy.

                                            Galloway never wasn't a cunt either, self promotion being the main object of all his struggles. I'd forgotten he was pro Indy just 7 years ago.

                                            tbh I doubt the Proclaimers demographic are much aware of trans issues.

                                              guessing the Yer Da Party thinks it's best chance with the Yooth vote is with gun loving incels. Maybe it's the advance wing of Jeggit's Dublin led insurrection.

                                                  Don't think so.

                                                    2 weeks until Polling Day, and there has been a slight shift in the latest ComRes opinion poll away from the SNP and IndyRef2.
                                                    But something about their figures doesn't seem quite right to me, so we'll have to wait and see if this is an outlier, or the start of the Pro-Union fightback.
