Thank you for providing all those links above. Proving exactly why the SNP keep any dissent private. In short, it will be picked over, analysed, spun and will appear in every single newspaper, media outlet and Facebook 24/7 until the very last drop of 'oh look, the SNP are bad' is gained from it. And the SNP has this to deal with far more than any other political party in the UK today at the present time.

They've had to learn the hard way what works as far as the media, especially the Scottish media ( which is still predominately Labour supporting ) works. And they've learned lessons well.

The SNP present a united front. Unlike the hopelessly divided Labour party. Which one do you think looks more electable ?

Look at the situation with Michelle and the Labour Mp that kicked the Yes voter ... MSM was vastly different in its reporting

Kezia's day appears to have gotten worse ... anyone watch BBC QT ?

I did, it was quite entertaining. Kez is never going to turn Scottish labour around. Autonomy my ars* !

Annabel squirming when asked to confirm David stated no tax credit cuts before the election.

Billy & Keith both pretty good & the journo made some decent points. Why would employers bother about a living wage when the gov will top up anyway. That's the root that needs tackled. Can't cut the tax credits though and not introduce the living wage at the same time for the poorest.

My thoughts too especially re tax credits. The living wage going up and tax credits cuts should've gone in tandem and increments over the course of the parliament.

There's been a fair bit of noise over how out of touch the media seem to have been over the whole thing. Osborne was given such a warm reception when he announced everything. From the BBC and all the newspapers. 'PM in waiting' etc etc.

Still, we're used to that here.

The person who said instead of the lords being out of touch it seems the gov are was spot on.

I think we'd all like a smaller welfare state but it's only possible if working people actually earn enough to live on. It's a huge problem. Costs of housing, utilities & basic living expenses cannot be sustained by the lowest earners without gov help. What to do.......

That's an argument for a PR voting system. Which incidentally, the SNP support.

For now they do, but think we've all seen how quickly SNP's position can change when it suits them. Now you might call that accomodating change, flexible or whatever. Thousands of us view it as something else entirely.

"Kezia Dugdale in the Scottish Daily Mail this morning:

“We’re not like the SNP. This isn’t a party of robots that are given a chip and told what to think.”

Twitter’s response is below."

I can't post the image as it's screeds of SNP members, MP's and MSP's all saying.....

Twitter is hilarious sometimes !

I could be wrong but I don't think wishart started it

And it really wasn't that hard to get if you were watching twitter ... I noticed wee Kez didn't even try to deny it ... just drew a look off Keith when it got mentioned ed as if to say how dare u mention that ... that's not fair

Have heard FMQ was good this week ... might just try hunt it out

Taken out of context it just isn't funny. It's like someone telling you the catchphrase from a show you've never seen.

The meme is funny because it makes you part of the gang. I'm not an SNP supporter and I barely use Twitter so I'm not part of the in-group for this joke.
