One or two big hitters in the SNP look like their jobs are on a shoogly peg. Those are in parts of Scotland that have always been Conservative with "A wee c"

The race here in Scotland is going to be interesting. People forget that some parts of Scotland have always been Conservative with a "wee c" I see SNP losing a lot to those types.

Don't be fooled. He voted against same sex marriages; against lower voting age; against transferring power to Scottish/Welsh/NI Parliaments; for restrictions on charities campaigning during elections; for voter ID; for reducing corporation tax; against fairer electoral system...

If Reform Ltd get that number of seats, I hope they get a lot more scrutiny on where they get their funds.

It would appear the dregs of the Tory party support have gone over the Reform Ltd. I hope those numbers are wrong.SNP have been bashed.

Was that not around that time GB walked out of the band? IG was more friendly with TI. It was them getting smashed in a pub that resulted in IG joining Black Sabbath. IG phoned his manager the next morning and told him "I think I joined Black Sabbath last night"

A pal of mine went see DP on the last tour and he thought they sounded ok but everything was a bit slower, the audience was all sitting down as they were "a bit OAP". I thought Born Again was a good album if a bit badly produced. The story of it getting made is an absolute hoot to read.

Met him years back when he was running his side hustle of the comedy club out of the basement of Christies Bar just off the Grassmarket. We would get a bit phished with him and he would let us in free sometimes to watch the acts.

Settle for anything between 90-115 seats and that will still be some shellacking.

Got a lot of Brit friends over here on Bluesky, so to all of you, I wish you an awesome and patriotic 4th of July! Send those Tories packing tomorrow and take your country back. Looking forward to returning to a kingdom that has returned to sanity.
