Additionally Leonard apparently promised a "safe seat" in the May Scottish general election. This is normally reserved for SLP leaders and this decision (by Starmer?) has clearly pissed off a good number of senior officials of the SLP up here - no f###### wonder!!
I listened to a political commentator on the bbc a couple of days ago and he commented re Trump's denigrated position that he was "completely untethered from observable reality". That comment could be equally directed towards the Unionists in Scotland. With the fall of Trump, the Johnson administration and their backers, those shadows that reside out of view have lost their mentor, their demigod, their fulcrum. They will look around in the coming days and see a very changed world because it has changed for them and, as all populist leaders and their supporters have found, their populist conspiracy is a "busted flush" and once the bubble of their smokescreen is burst they are left with nothing.
The panic in them can be measured by the increase in sponsored fake news feeds on social media sites, the call to cancel the May Scottish gen election and the voice as one from those leaders in that foreign capital, London, to deny us our legitimate, democratic desire. Interesting days ahead as the bastion of populist politics collapses and their supporters "scuttle under rocks". Up here in Scotland all I can say is, "Stay focused folks, our future is bright, independence is right"!
