SNP leadership campaign

[RoyalCorgi]

Starting this thread because the new SNP leader is due to be announced on Monday afternoon, sometime after 2pm.

Thought we could have a thread of speculation (who's going to win, what they'll do) followed by reactions after they make the announcement.

Lol(lo rosso).

I identify as a radiccio feminist.

Humza’s clearly a complete butterhead

before we eat let's gather round, put our heads together and lettuce pray.

And th en dive in.

Do you like the nice oak leaf design on the napkins?

So, he's in now.....
That was just a formality I suppose....

.

Omg the floppy lettuce has offered Kate Forbes, who seems highly respected and probably better qualified, a demotion.
Just wow.
How long do we give him?
I'm getting a bit of a sulky man child vibe from him, but happy to be wrong.

A BIT??????

Aaand she's fxcked off. And who can blame her?

I'm beginning to see the appeal of the back benches.
You could just sit there and knit suffragette scarves, biding your time.....watching lettuces do their thing.....

I'm knitting the politicians

Sorry, I couldn't resist! They don't have a Humza yet, but there is a RuPaul and a Bob the Drag Queen (?) (Not my listing, BTW).

Brilliant!
Only two Nicolas remaining in that there Etsy shoppe.

I don't think I'd buy one. It'd probably come unravelled.

30 British pounds!!!!!

No!

Bet someone buys it though!

WHIT BASTARD MADE THE VOODOO DOLL

How you coping? Getting much done at home? Or have you spent the past few days drowning your sorrows whilst cutting up pairs of pink leggings!

IM VERY BUSY.

Not surprised, all those new opportunities available to you. Some of your poetry being published in the coming few days, it's all go for you!

Jamie Hepburn (who?) has been appointed minister for independence.

Furious about that. What a waste of our money when it's clear there won't be a referendum any time soon.

Isn't he the lead singer of Metallica?

Jamie Hepburn (hee/hmm, for non-Scots) is a real person and has been a constituency MSP for Cumbernauld and Kilsyth for ages, and held a few ministerial positions. He's not ridiculously out of the blue. The Minister for Independence position is new today, though.

@RealFeminist, sure it disnae dae ye justice. A ken how much yuv spent tae gang ginger, and they huv made ye look mousy broon.
