I READ an article by Ian Murray in which he said Humza Yousaf was getting more and more desperate by the day. I will not be taking any crap from the likes of him, as he only gets elected because of tactical voting. I also noted Humza saying he wanted Scotland to be Tory-free after the General Election. While we would all like that, it will just not happen.
I will be investing a not insubstantial sum of money on three Tories to win their seats: David Mundell, John Lamont and whoever is standing in Alister Jack’s seat. The reason for this is simple logic. There are many many well-off constituents in those seats, plus the farming community will as usual vote for them regardless of Brexit or anything else you care to mention.

We may have a chance of taking Wee Dougie’s seat and every chance of unseating Andrew Bowie, who must surely be one of the most obnoxious Tories ever and boy is that saying something! However, we may be in danger of losing a lot of seats if we don’t get our act together. We need a big win and however we get it is of no consequence. So come on, SNP – do something or give us something to boost us up. We have had nothing but fine words for too long. Time for action NOW.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
