I'd say there were plenty of other failings to note from the SNP, such as infrastructure, schools, health, etc.

But there is no doubt that their dogged insistence that Isla Bryson is a woman has contributed to their downfall.

'The louder and more stridently the Scottish Government’s transactivist lobby has shouted about “trans rights”, the more public support for them has nosedived. “Gender recognition” used to be supported by a margin of 40 points, now it’s opposed by a margin of 30, and nobody wants transwomen anywhere near women’s spaces.'

Those photos are even more cringeworthy than Ed Davey doing a bungee jump to get people to take a leap of faith and vote Lib Dem

The ones of him insisting a paddleboarder push him off into the water were pretty bad.

It’d be a real loss to political sanity if she lost her seat.

Yes, I'd be distressed if this happened.

It seems like even Joanna cherry’s seat is not secure. Scott Arthur,
l about leader of Edinburgh city council, seems to be picking up on the polls.

im worried about what happens if we lose our GC Parliamentarians and am sure if Joanna cheery is not re elected it’s because of the party and not her.

The bookies are now predicting a 3.4% Labour lead. If you're a Lib Dem in that constituency you might as well vote Labour. And if you're a Tory the constitutional aspects probably outweigh other considerations.

Lots more online . At first I thought they were fake but no 🤦‍♀️

You're sure they're not AI images?

I can quite imagine what was fed into the machine to spit those out.

Swinney looks like the Platonic ideal of a midlife crisis in those campaigning photographs 🙄

Perfect.

Why on earth are politicians making eejits of themselves on national media spouting and defending ideas that originated on Tumblr ten years ago 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️

ArabellaScott · 01/07/2024 14:08

These people have fucking LEGISLATED on this issue, and they can't answer the most basic of questions about it.

If you want to whang on about gender at least 'educate yourself' on the absolute basic concept. It's not rocket science, although most of it is complete pish.

Oh, dear Lord.

Infinite 'genders'. But only two sexes.

Ironic, though, as Labour has supported the SNP and Greens all the way on gender.

Edited

Indeed. The Scottish Labour Leader's response after Cass was the most pitiful of all the reverse ferreting seen then. ' The SNP lied to us! They promised us, that despite was the legislation said, they would protect single sex spaces! They made us vote for it by lying to us.' Is what he said.
To which the interviewer said, ' That's not what I remember you saying at the time of the vote.'

I no longer live in Scotland, but no way could I vote for Scottish Labour after that lying, weak reply. What an utter failure of integrity and honesty.

what were some of these 100 "improvements"? (by which I mean real stuff, not reducing the incidence of toast landing butter side down by 35% due to anti gravity machines)

I'm willing to bet the 'baby boxes' were there!

Indeed. But I couldn't countenance not voting, or spoiling my ballot.

To GTTO is my aim at the moment. I hope that there will be enough pushback from women to make the Labour Party reevaluate their stance. If not, I won't vote for them again, either.
