1. Interesting that the Hollyrood voting intention is much closer. This has been reflected in various other polls. I wonder who’s the sort of person who wants Labour in Westminster but the SNP here. My guess is there are pro-Indy people who do not think the SNP are effective in the UK as it exists atm.

   Or maybe I’m getting it backwards. Some unionists who think the SNP has governed well enough think a vote in Hollyrood for the SNP != vote for independence, but in a parliamentary constituency it more obviously does?

2. Hard to rebound from that.

   Interestingly, Holyrood figures have remained steady-ish (from the last poll), although Labour is still slightly ahead.

   Also interesting, favourability ratings of top politicians:

   – Swinney: -3
   – Forbes: -14
   – Sarwar: -13
   – Ross: -34
   – Starmer: -11
   – Sunak: -61

   Scotland doesn’t particularly seem to like anyone.

3. I’ll vote for whoever will have the best outcome for me financially. Sunak has fucked me over massively by bringing in the EPL to the tune of approximately £200k.

   SNP are just pro independence crooks.

   Green party are just woke idiots.

   That leaves me with labour, lib Dems and reform (lmao).

4. On those numbers for Westminster punched into a calculator, you’d get:

   Labour: 41

   SNP: 8

   Lib Dem: 5

   Con: 3

   Everyone else: 0

   I’d be surprised if this result happened, but the election is still a while away.

5. Oooft SNP implosion!

6. 18 point swing to labour now Vs 2019
