Fucking Labour and Tories at the end of the article there chatting utter shite as if they aren't fully aware that NHS spending and high street vitality are directly linked with Westminster policy.

Farage and reform are dangerous yes but Labour are a more direct threat to the SNP's vote share, so they kind of need to attack them a bit, even though in principle they agree on a lot. That said, current labour can fuck right off with their genocide-enabling, big tech-appeasing, tory-apologist cowardice.

A nickname for that Starmer that stuck in my head is "Lego Thatcher".

If the Labour party were what they were supposed to be a lot of Scotland would be all for them but they aren't and recovery seems unlikely in the immediate future. Whatever that party once was it has been eviscerated and it's corpse occupied by tories and chancers.
