Scottish party leaders to take part in STV General Election debate (news.stv.tv)

Feel slightly bad for the SGP, but they aren't putting many candidates forward, Patrick has been MIA since the incident, and not putting Lorna up is a saving grace. But seeing ACH, who recently attended online hate speech training, and Anas, I don't pay the living wage to my staff but do lie about it, against Swinney is going to be funny. Personally I think Flynn should have been there - it is a General Election, not Holyrood. And that would have thrown the other 3 leaders, only Dross being in WM and barely there at that. Also highlights why a female leader is important in 2024 - you are literally different to the other middle aged males.

Anyway, 90 minutes of unionists banging on about independence, failing to understand devolution, and interruptions. This one may well be a turn off for all voters! Cannot see many watching, the soundbites after will be more important.

Heavy weight topics and stuff to mold talent has been light since 2014. I wouldn't say no talent either, but certainly a clean out of all parties would be a good thing imo. WM led parties will always look stale too. No Andy Burnams in Scotland, champions of devolution like Dewar was. Conservatives bang on more about independence and flag shagging than talking about Scottish issues. Largely as they ken that the budget means they can do fuck all.
