All things considered, Labour would be a change. Not a particularly good one, but a change nonetheless.
After the SNP and Sturgeon's latest performance I'm expecting the Glasgow Mob to reluctantly skulk back to Labour in their voting patterns. The true diehards are going to swing their support behind Salmond and Alba. As for Reform, not a hope. Like UKIP they suffer from their vote not being geographically concentrated in a few constituencies like the SNP, so the FPTP system works against them. Northern Ireland is it's usual complicated mess. I think the Unionists and other Protestant bigots (the TUV) have backed themselves into a corner lately. Westminster does seem to want to wash it's hands entirely of the Province. Depends on how long it takes for the odds to shift decisively behind a United Ireland. Mike.

Revealed: Afghan asylum seeker 'acid' attack suspect Abdul Ezedi was convicted of sex assault and exposure in 2018 but STILL allowed to stay in the UK after claiming he had turned to Christianity
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...ot-jailed.html I was going to put this in the Daily News Thread but, Asylum and Immigration belongs in the UK Politics Thread. It has emerged that Ezedi is a former asylum seeker from Afghanistan who was allowed to stay in the UK despite pleading guilty to one charge of sexual assault and one of exposure, following two failed asylum applications. 'This case provides an opportunity not only to review the criteria for granting asylum but also for how we deal with those who are known criminals. 'It won't take much working out who has been here and subsequently received asylum and then committed a crime and how we can deport all of them.' What is needed is an Iron Fist approach, any Migrant who has committed a crime, either here, or abroad should be deported at their own expense to their homeland, and if that means their Great, Great, Great, Great Grand parents historical homeland, so be it. Yes, you'll have the Human Rights Wet Back Lawyers all over this law, but, as far as I'm concerned, the Health and Safety and Human Rights of every White British Citizen in the UK supersedes any Plastic British Migrants Human Rights, Case Closed. Iron Fist, The Death Penalty. If their countries send them back here, then they do so on the understanding that when they arrive back in the UK they will be immediately taken to a place of execution and hung until they are dead. So I say this to all the politicians of the UK, grow a pair or get the **** out of the House of Parliament, and that means the House of Lords as well. I'm available, you already know my price.

Those of us outside the Clyde Valley (except Dundee, it appears) are capable of critical thought, y'know.

‘Anyone but Peter Bone’: voters turn to Labour and Reform UK as Wellingborough byelection nears
https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknew...9fa8178&ei=173 The selection of Peter Bone's wife could be a disaster for the Tories, it's a blatant attempt by the Tory Party, or by Bone himself to run the constituency by Proxy. They've seen these shenanigans before and I don't think they're going to let it happen here, the Tories have an 18,000 majority, its an obstacle but, these hurdles have been overcome before, piss off into the night and disappear for ever Mr Bone head.

Nothing but an increase in the personal tax allowance that these fraudsters froze six year ago will satisfy me.

EXCLUSIVE Amid disbelief that 'chemical attacker' was allowed to stay in Britain... BBC editor who is paid to help 15 Somalian criminals stay in the UK quits the Beeb after shocking Mail exposé
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...ail-expos.html The BBC, The Church but our MPs are not involved with this mess, why not?, what the hell is going on?. There's everybody and nobody getting involved with this Immigration invasion, and meanwhile, our politicians do nothing about it, neither the Tories or the Labour Party are going to fix this free for all, so why should people vote for them?. At the next GE I'm going to vote for the Reform candidate, our independent MP has done sod all about this Immigration fiasco and, he's been told in no uncertain terms on numerous occasions that he won't be an MP next year. The Reform candidate talks the good talk, so I'll give him a chance to walk the walk, I don't think he'll be any good but, hey, we can live in hope.

Most of Scotland's senior politicians are Glaswegian, 'nuff said.
In the meantime: Salmond lands new talk show on Turkish TV channel Quote:

Humza faces tax civil war - Kate Forbes launches attack on government's income tax hikes as rebellion grows in SNP ranks
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...-increase.html He should stop the excessive SNP spending first, University Education should not be free for a degree course and, Prescriptions in Scotland shouldn't be free either, lots of money to be saved there. Why should the rest of the Scots who don't go to University, pay for the Students who do and, why aren't the ill paying for their medication as well, these are two areas that need fixing before there's any Tax Rises. I'm sure there's a lot more things like this that are funded by government which shouldn't be, there you are Useless Yousaf, get cracking.

The Scottish Tories did look at re-introducing prescription fees, but found out it was going to cost more to administer than the amount of money raised in return.
They scrapped the idea as a non-starter, particularly when you realise that roughly one-fifth of Scotland's population has long term health conditions of one form or another. Hardly a vote winner. Mike.
