In yet another who cares about Scotland action from the Tories: when the big getaway starts we're holding an election. Meaning polling staff will be harder to round up, votes will be down, and even counts will be short handed. Postal vote applications to be through the roof.

The SNP likely in trouble with a reduced turnout, last few by-election results have indicated not that people are switching from Yes parties to Bitter Together. They just aren't voting. Anywho, a serious prospect of Tories being flung out UK wide, some predictions of less than 100 seats and Starmer getting a majority the biggest ever seen since The Great Reform Act

Anyone brave enough to give some Scottish seat predictions in the comments?

Part of me thinks the choice of 4 July is designed to try and help the SNP, in a bid to stifle Labour's resurgence in Scotland.

Partly because it gives them something to moan about, and partly so they can campaign on an "Independence Day" angle :-)

I'll need a postal vote myself, but I applied yesterday and it was dead simple tbh, only takes a few minutes online - https://www.gov.uk/apply-postal-vote
