General Election - which will take place later this year and more likely sooner rather than later given the rate at which the Conservatives are imploding.aims to make Scotland a Tory-free zone, which can only be achieved with a good vote for the SNP rather than.
This has seen Starmer wrest the Labour party so far to the right that it now occupies a position on the political spectrum which the Conservatives under John Major would be comfortable with. Starmer's Labour party is now considerably to the right of any position which Major's Tories dared to espouse., with host of Good Morning Unionist Scotland Gary Robertson asking Minister for Independence Jamie Hepburn:"This is not about getting rid of the Tories. This is more than this.
He replied:"What we're saying is this is an opportunity to get rid of all Tory MPs in Scotland. I think most people understand that when we talk about making Scotland Tory-free that is precisely what we're referring to."Blissfully unaware of the logic hole he was digging for himself, Robertson ploughed on deeper and deeper into the logic void, asking why people who voted Tory should be"disenfranchised".
But BBC Scotland is desperate to spin the SNP election strategy into some fundamental assault on democracy, even as the Corporation normalises the likes of far right British nationalists such as the Reform party while turning a blind eye to the creeping authoritarianism in both the Conservative and Labour parties.
It merely confirms the image of a government buffeted by scandal which is more obsessed with its own internal party politics than it is about governing the country.

Labour criticised for copying Tory economic policyRachel Reeves has been slammed after she said Labour would copy a key Tory economic policy. The shadow chancellor said overall public debt should fall year-on-year as a share of GDP by the fifth year of official forecasts. This policy was adopted by the Tories in November 2022. It would mean Labour can only borrow for investment but not day-to-day spending. This would limit the amount of money the government has to spend. The SNP has warned the move will "choke off economic growth and impose devastating cuts to public services". Unite the Union said the plans would mean Labour will "end up in a straitjacket of your own making." SNP economy spokesperson Drew Hendry said: "Yesterday's speech from the Shadow Chancellor confirmed what the SNP have been saying for some time now: the fiscal policies of the Tories and Sir Keir Starmer's Labour Party are now indistinguishable.
