  1. Say goodbye to your free prescriptions and baby boxes folks :/

  2. While I personally doubt it’ll be *that* bad for the SNP, and ultimately we have no idea what’ll happen until the votes are cast, dismissing it out of hand is just cope.

    Reminds me of the head-in-the-sand approach of some Scottish Labour people in 2015, before the meteor hit.

  3. Aren’t the SNP always saying voting results are a reflection of and a mandate for independence?

  4. Wow, who could have possibly seen this coming 🙄

  5. Scottish Labour would wipe the floor with the SNP if they even pretended to diverge from the Westminster party. But they won’t.

  6. That seems like almost the worst case scenario for the SNP.

  7. Norstat interviewed 1,086 people aged 16 or over in Scotland between April 30 and May 3.

    Instead of celebrating, unionists should actually check out the poll and its ’statistical significance’.

    This poll is laughable, with ‘weighted samples’ based on tiny demographics.

    Remember, similar ‘polls’ had reform as a serious contender in the last English council elections, and they failed miserably.

  8. I think this is a bit low, to be honest. 25 would be more believable.

    But whatever, it will definitely be their worst performance at any contest since 2010. All the _serious_ polls have converged there – and by “serious” I disregard that Billy Coull work of fiction showing them retaining 41. That one had Western Isles as SNP hold despite every other poll having it flipping Labour since 2021 or so.

    It is looking very much like the Lib Dems will be the third party at the HoC. We all know what Skeletor and chums will have to say on that.

  9. Guess we can say goodby to free higher education, prescriptions and so on, starmer isn’t interested, first task for anas, put Scotland in line with the rest of the uk.

  10. Ah, the new tactic of reporting on what you would like to be the case rather than the reality of what is actually happening. You have just seen the same tactics being used with the local elections. “London Mayoral election on a knives edge!” no…. no it wasn’t. Never was. The idea that the SNP being wiped out just does not track with reality. This is just wishful thinking from the Unionist media.

  11. 8 Reform MPs in Scotland? Fuck off, that is not happening, they were bragging before the English local elections and all they have achieved so far is 2 seats, a lot of their online support is bloody bots!

  12. Well that’s it then devolution has been fun but it’ll be just in name only now we all know how quickly Scottish Labour buckle to the demands of UK Labour no law that actually benefits us will be passed unless UK Labour allow it

  13. I seriously doubt it would be as bad as 15 freaking seats

  14. Remember people, this is a poll of around 1,000 people, who read the sunday times. That’s why reform has a bump up.

  15. I don’t doubt, myself as well as a number of people I know who were huge SNP supporters, even campaigning for them and door canvassing, will not be voting for the SNP and instead will vote labour this time.

  16. I just don’t see it tbh with you. Nationalists might be dismayed with the SNP but if independence is their number 1 priority I don’t blame them for begrudgingly voting for them.

    Similar to the shy Tory effect on polling day they’ll over perform.

  17. Potential for Anas Sarwar to be first minister – someone wake me up from this nightmare please… its nearly as bad as the time I dreamt Douglas Ross made a coherent statement.

  18. The Tories aren’t winning any additional seats. If they do, the electorate is stupider than I thought…

  19. I mean, people are kinda desperate to get rid of the Tories at this stage so I can understand their logic at them taking what’s considered the “safest” bet. But I doubt it’ll be that low a number at crunch time.

  20. The stench of traitorous bastards that would sell lies to young Scots in order to look after number one and continue waving their little British flag.

    We can all see what’s happened/happening in England/Ireland

    And yet u all still wave ur little flag to a government that has shown little concern for you and your family. Little concern for your country and you daft wee bastsrds live ur shite wee bigoted lifes spewing bigoted hate tae ur offspring. Only for them to grow up with a muppet mentality like you and your father before you

    Scotland is going to get it Independence, and the Unionists will do everything they can to cause civil unrest as we all know that mob only comes out in numbers on a matchday and indi rallys to take liberty’s with men who are with their families.
    Yous lot in that orange Lodge, Ur a fking disgrace of a movement.

    The youth of scotland will know how poisonous the unionist movement is in Scotland.

    Yous have done fk all other then bang on about Independence 😂
    and how scotland doesn’t want it.
    …it appears I was right. My country does want freedom from the English elitist as the Scottish unionist who most of today have never served a fking day in the military 🪖
    BlueNosed helmets most definitely. Scared to protest against minorities waving jihadi flags in glasgow Southside, but as soon as the Snp groups are out,
    The No voters are about.

    Fk Labour and Scottish tories.
    Traitorous bastards.

  21. And it was all going so well till the “lady” with the cock appeared.
