The Tories historically have taken about 20% in Scotland, just that in Westminster FPTP they tend to get pure malkied in terms of seats.

Key takings

No one cares a toss for the Tories. No amount of Rish! spin can pull them out of their hole.

Full results. Tories were smashed a chunk of their vote went Labour . Collette from ISP who stood with women fully didn't do great sadly. The Greens/Lib dems also hammered.

Congrats to all the women who organised the hustings and also campaigned more widely and did the street stall. You are heroes and getting out there risking physical attack to get the truth out there is Amazing. Even the street stall was opposed though by bigots protesting against it on the other side of the street. Yet it was the women's stall that people liked.

Lots of awareness raised.

Key takings

1 SNP went all in on trans messaging while Lab downplayed their positioning. The SNP were badly damaged because most ordinary Scots know what a women is. SNP rebels on gender have a stronger position today as the SNP looks at what went wrong.

2 We need to up our game locally like those wonderful women who were active in Rutherglen raising awareness. In the 2024 general election we need to get people to admit their position on being either pro or anti-women rather than refuse to talk about it. That means way more demos and hustings etc. There was great coordination to get the truth told. More of this kind of thing. In the short term we may not change results, but long term it is vital because the bigots will not miss out on their chance to oppose women's rights and that shows people who they really are.

3 - The pro woman resistance inside Labour needs more support. They too are in a stronger position because it is clear that openly being anti women as the SNP tried is going to fail in elections. Expect lots of talk on this at Lab conference this weekend. However Labour's official dodgy evasive tactics like refusing to go to women's hustings but where they gain the benefit of SNP's unpopularity without fully rejecting the grounds of anti-woman ideas is a huge problem too. More sunlight is needed.

Trying not to laugh at the Tories. "Hoy posh lad, ahv goat the zoo on the phone, I hear ye've lost yer monkey?"

The greens barely got any votes. Lib Dem’s too.

it’s going to be upsetting a lot of people

The guy who got in is one of the owned who didn tgo
to the hustings. Wild

I think there is about to be a big internal fight in the SNP.

The Greens will be in serious trouble if the SNP goes down. Nobody else will touch them.

You can expect carpetbaggers of all kinds to follow the gravy train and start moving back to Labour in time for the general election.

TWAW is just one of the many things the SNP are getting wrong, which includes being insanely arrogant and incompetent

As a pp says, I wonder if this will make them reflect? I’m going to guess no

Although I'm delighted the SNP got humped Michael Shanks is no better. He's all TWAW.

Looks like the SNP have been spectacularly ousted from the seat.

You'd think they'd reflect on why. They won't though.

Yes Jean!

Jean From Aberdeen actually sang that with her own words.

It'll be on Twitter/X soon.

@WomenWontWheesht thank you 😊

I know where I'll get my next t-shirt from.

We don't.

It's such a well-known phrase & doesn't belong to us, it belongs to us all.

I feel the need to use my bigly letters....

WOMEN WON'T WHEESHT

Ooh that feels better.

As you were.

Do you get the profits from the merchandise sold on Amazon? If you don't it can be flagged in the reviews.

Oh, and we do have our own t shirts that are available via our website.

We'll post it ASAP.

We're just back from an event on the Isle of Skye (it was a busy week)

But we'll get on it soon

Whilst it's disheartening to read that the hustings was cancelled, albeit briefly, it's cheering that such venues are given a crash course in well settled case law and behaving. And little Stonewall fists mashing tables, with floods of tears.

Best get the mop...

😏

All I can say is that no one has tried that one yet in a court room. However I'm sure it's only a matter of time.
