Funny how a Labour woman makes a £30 million error and the usual suspects nearly wet their pants.
A Tory man makes a £20 BILLION error and it goes under the radar.

SLAB suspend seven labour councillors for forming an administration with the Tories in Aberdeen.
I don't know who deserves the most scorn SLAB or the councillors.

Lib Dem logic.
Let's have another EU referendum as we were not told the truth and folk might have changed their minds. [despite what the polls say]
Let's not have another Scottish referendum because we don't think folk have changed their minds. [despite what the polls say]

So a month to the day since the GE wad called and the latest polls are pretty much the same as they were a month ago.
Tories still on 47/48% with Labour stuck around 29/30%.
I'm guessing Paddy Power will have already paid out on the result...

Ah - but as in The Battle of Helm's Deep (in LotR), when all seems lost and Helm's Deep will fall - will Corbyn not appear - Gandalf like - astride his mighty steed McCluskey. Brandishing his gleaming manifesto and - followed by a vast hoard of Corbynistas - Corbyn will swoop down on the awesome might of The Supreme Leaders army of orcs and uruk-hai. And victory will be his.

UK Labour up to 32% in some polls.
Under the press/media logic of reporting the Scottish Cooncil results, that must be a fantastic victory for Labour

That was the average of the most recent polls i.e. no change.

In the name of the wee man...............Just viewed the 'Ruth Davidson Scottish Conservative Party' General Election TV broadcast.
Seriously, the entire thing was............ vote no to a new Scottish Referendum.
Leaflet from my standing SNP MP........no mention of Independence anywhere on it.

Are they supposed to do what the SNP want? Should they just roll over? They are highlighting this as that is how they will win many a vote, it makes sense. The SNP don't need to mention it as the clue is in their name. Kind of obvious really.

Looking through the Tory twitter feed while the leaders debate is going on they seem to have a new catchphrase. Almost every tweet is about Brexit and the "Coalition of Chaos"....

Get that but this a general election, not an Indyref on 8th June, it is bizarre. Anyway how can they campaign against another Indyref, that's been voted through by a majority of MSPs at Holyrood already, it is only the PM that can say no so they hold that power already so why campaign on it? I know we've been here before but the sheer hypocrisy of calling a GE and pushing through Brexit on her terms but not allowing a Holyrood parliamentary approved Indyref2 because it doesn't suit Mays personal agenda is not right and undemocratic. May is no leader and even dangerous with power.

And so - no Great Leader on the ITV Leaders Debate and consequently no Corbyn. And no Great Leader to sell and/or defend her manifesto to the public. As Leanne Wood said in her opening words - was the Great Leader frightened about standing up, sell the manifesto and take the questions? Well given the reporting I have heard on her manifesto maybe she made the safe decision.
Is The Great Leader simply taking for granted that she'll get the majority of the votes on the grounds of Brexit and her being better than Corbyn in getting what she wants. She knew that she could put just about whatever she wanted in the manifesto and she'd still get the Brexit vote. But maybe she miscalculated a little - the Social Care payment policy does not seem to have gone down very well.

I get that but the strategy is sound. Plenty of Scots don't want another referendum so they are trying to tap into that. Keep putting it in people's minds and they start to think it is true. A bit like NS constantly referring to Westminster being the bogey man. Count the Westminster references and note how the word is always used in a negative way.
Coalition of chaos is being used in a similar way. There is no sign in any way that this would occur but the Tories keep going back to it hoping it sinks into people's consciousness. Strong and stable........
At the moment these are sticking better than the other parties efforts. They need to work harder to get their phrases heard more clearly, move the agenda to their terms.
