Reluctant as I am to wade into Scottish politics, I can't help feeling that Sturgeon's departure represents a high watermark in Scottish independence aspirations and that the Labour Party are going to massively clean up in Scotland during the next General Election.
Sturgeon leaves a deeply divided SNP at a low water mark for Independence with her Tamany Hall approach to politics and a refusal to build an alliance with the wider independence movement.
Her "progressive" rhetoric was never matched by deeds and she tried to deliver using a neo liberal economic framework. Never attempting to challenge real power in Scotland or deliver to the working class.
Labour continue to be an embarrassing shambles in Scotland and Kieth Starmers recent coup in alliance with the Red Tories isn't going to lead to them "cleaning up". They may gain up to 12 seats on a wave of anti Tory/SNP disgust.
As a self proclaimed "socialist" Hamza faces a difficult task uniting a deeply divided party. A significant section of which are really devolutionists these days as their snouts are so deep in the trough of govt jobs hand outs, grants etc that they can't see independence through a soup of gravy.

How comes whenever you see a Tory MP on their doorstep, it's either their mult-million pound London Victorian townhouse and/or their multi-million pound Georgian country estate, but everyone else has such ordinary homes?

I understand the allegation is that funds raised to fight an independence campaign were rerouted to cover SNP running costs. They don't have the Financial backing from unions or corporates that the Big Two enjoy.
The bloated bureaucracy they had to create to stifle the grass roots is expensive. Hell mend them.

Apparently the investigation into the £600k, earmarked for indeyRef2, uncovered further wrongdoing.
The already thick plot has become even thicker.

Don't understand what all the fuss is about. I would have thought that what the SNP did with their own money is their own business

you are right.
another con MP caught on video today cheating for cash
in a sting operation.
and the good news is we are told 1,500 immigrants are coming to our village
on the airfield up the rd, not so bad but all of them will only be young men
no woman or children. single men only. welcome to the real world.
