Dross in a far from safe seat, so if he's annihilated, can we just get indy now?

Seriously though folks, Tories and Labour will be throwing the kitchen sink at Scotland this election, they genuinely think this election is about stopping independence north of the border. The once in a generation timing will be put to bed by the end of this parliament. Starmer a strong unionist himself, as will be the rest of his imperial masters. The SNP are in shreds after leadership scandals and mis-steps.

We can expect 5 more weeks of this pish. But independence was never about the SNP, no matter how much Labour and Tories want it to be.

Don't think so - for Labour it's about bringing themselves back to taking swathes of Scottish seats and using that to get into power at Westminster.

For the Tories it's about surviving any place they can and also stopping Labour doing the above.

Ross is only talking about the SNP so he can focus on their record at Holyrood and pretend the Tory record at Westminster isn't even a thing.
