there's something really heartbreaking about seeing Scottish Unionists fall over themselves to claim Sturgeon and the SNP have failed as badly as Westminster, it's like watching people stick their fingers in their ears and know you're never going to change their mind on anything - and I say this as someone who remains skeptical about independence and critical of the SNP for various other reasons

when I used to be on twitter I would get abused for being a unionist despite having been a nat my whole life and mainly voting for nat parties (SSP in my first election, Nats and Greens, until Labour under Corbyn)

IndyRef exposed a lot of people in Scotland as being basically indistinguishable from NI Unionists/Loyalists, something that was partly hidden by pretty much all of that energy being channeled into supporting Rangers - plus the fact they all voted Labour. Now, the genie's out of the bottle a lot of them are not only proudly Tories but they've got that Orange Walk strut and swagger about the fact.

This might still all be forgotten in a few weeks but I think the people itt and elsewhere who are confidently claiming it will be, or claiming it's of no real significance, don't seem to have factored in the unique situation literally everyone in the country is living through.

that's the punishment you get for being the most anti-tory region of England, mind you it's probably the same levels of cuts in some of the red wall constituencies that voted for that knave to get brexit done and for a bit of the old leveling up.
