UKIP - back to being the BNP in blazers, then.
Meanwhile, up at Holyrood the SNP administration has announced it's intention to "get on with the day job" http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotlan...itics-41147003 At-a-glance: Scotland's legislative programme 2017-18 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotlan...itics-41162058 16 bills altogether covering various topics. We'll see how much they can actually deliver. Mike.

Some rich bloke rang in to a radio phone in last night moaning the SNP were bleeding his kind dry and the SNP was on course to bankrupt Scotland's economy. He was a employer owning a small company, I suspect too a point he was telling the truth. Question is has the SNP now passed its peak and trying to do what every it can to hold on to power?

The summer break is over and here we go again..
DING DING PMQ'S May Vs Corbyn Come on Corbyn, every time that dotty old bag brings up the last Labour Government you should hit back. Over 6 years ago not 6 months ago! Trouble with Corbyn is too many topics, if he gets the wrong answer he should keep hitting back demanding the answer and not some off the cuff answer or deflection response. May is weak but Corbyn is weaker and can not see how to deliver the knock out blow. Score May 1 Corbyn 0

There have been dark mutterings up in this neck of the woods (Aberdeen in particular) that the SNP has deliberately set out sabotage the economy up here in order to boost that in the western central belt (i.e. the Clyde Valley and Glasgow) so they can hold on to their new ex-Labour voter base in those areas. No doubt relations have worsened now that the Tories have made gains at the SNP's expense in this area. Mike.

BBC Scotland's Business Editor Douglas Fraser's take on the SNP Programme for Government:
Sturgeon's mid-term reboot Quote:
Scottish Tory leader says she is worried Brexit could damage economy permanently Quote:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotlan...itics-41174619 Viewed UK wide, it's a good decision and one I approve of, but from a specifically Scottish view point this is a potential hornets nest. If Glasgow gets the hump, the rest of Scotland normally suffers. Mike.

Only real challenger imo might be Rees-Mogg but if May doesn't make any more clangers I can see her hanging on.
On the other hand, should Corbyn enhance his appeal to the electorate and Labour support increases as a result then I predict a rise in support for Boris should he declare an interest.

Davidson's very, very unlikely - not at Westminster and has her eye on Bute House.
I don't think many in Scotland know who Rees-Mogg is. Mike.

As it stands at the moment if there was another general election next month I would predict a hung parliament with the Tories the biggest party but needing more than the DUP to prop them up.

Help I'm under attack from a O.A.P.
Well Ian Paisley (Jr) got nothing to worry about, after all the DUP has got the Tories under the thumb.

Arguably so but I'm sure they'd rather be in a position to govern in NI.
