SNP Nightmare - Just Getting Started

Hapless Humza has doubled down on the chaos of 2023  and the SNP's nightmare has only just begun argues Iain Macwhirter in his hard-hitting opinion piece for the Times.

The latest opinion poll from Redfield and Wilton suggests the SNP are on course to return only 19 of their 43 MPs in a 2024 general election while Labour would be back with 27.

Iain argues that Nicola Sturgeon's abrupt resignation left the SNP in poor shape, but that Humza Yousaf has also proved to be adept at shooting himself in the foot over:

  • Self-ID, the gender reform bill and the SNP getting far too cosy with the Greens
  • Operation Branchform and the ongoing Police Scotland  investigation into SNP finances 
  • More 'trans legislation' on gender conversion therapy
  • The SNP farce over banning XL Bully dogs 
  • The SNP's 'pay more, get less' ScotGov budget 
  • Baloney claims about Scots being £10,000 a year better off under Indy
  • Confusing, contradictory messages on Labour and the Conservatives

The moral of the story is that the outgoing SNP leadership made a big mistake by installing Humza Yousaf as its new party leader and First Minister.

Now that we're a month away from the month formerly known as June, we can think about what's happened. Given the new events being rolled out in London, Manchester and across the States, I think this sums up the *erm* transition of Pride.

What a complete hoot - these hypocrites have no shame! Peter Murrell  @PeterMurrell "Anonymous political donations supposed to be a thing of the past. Yet Scottish Tories pocketed £319,000 from secretive trust with no fixed address or known current trustees. @Conservatives legally responsible for checking true identity of donors before accepting cash. #DarkMoney "

SNP - Conspiracy of Silence

So here's the issue - two Glasgow MSPs (Nicola Sturgeon and Humza Yousaf) have been asked a reasonable question about their use of public money to employ two SNP councillors who already have full-time, salaried jobs as senior elected members of Glasgow City Council.   But these two public servants (both long-serving ministers) refuse to answer, so what to do next? One regular reader suggests raising the matter on the floor of the Scottish Parliament which is a good idea, but requires an MSP who's prepared to put down a written question for Scottish Ministers to answer. So here's a list of activities which will help shine a light on what has been going on because as Lord Nolan once said apropos driving up standards in public life - 'daylight is the best disinfectant'. Write to the leader of Glasgow City Council Write to the Chief Executive of Glasgow City Council Write to all elected members in Glasgow City Council Write to the party leaders in Glasgow City Council W
