A Labour councillor in Stirling has been reported as saying that he’ll happily vote Tory on Thursday – and a senior Labour source this week confirmed that the party was effectively standing aside to try and get Tory MPs elected in seats across Scotland, simply clearing the path for Theresa May to return to Downing Street.

Scottish Labour STILL hasn't learned from the mistake it made in the Indyref Ken Burch Jun 2017 #5
More evidence that Dugdale has to go. Ken Burch Jun 2017 #4
Davidson has been cosying up with the Scottish Orange Order for some time. Denzil_DC Jun 2017 #6
An alliance between Ruth and the Orange Order would involve some VERY delicate phraseology. Ken Burch Jun 2017 #7
The problem's been growing in Scotland for some time, and Scottish Labour's not immune. Denzil_DC Jun 2017 #8

I'm not sure there's much appetite for replacing Dugdale T_i_B Jun 2017 #10
If they turn on her though, the government falls... Ken Burch Jun 2017 #11

Here's Ruth "Paper Tiger" Davidson Denzil_DC Jun 2017 #13

The SNP got lucky - they won a lot of their seats with tiny majorities muriel_volestrangler Jun 2017 #17
ALL the parties got lucky, except when they didn't. Denzil_DC Jun 2017 #18
Yeah, but I'm not cherrypicking - that was all close seats (nt) muriel_volestrangler Jun 2017 #19

OK, to illustrate some of what I'm saying here, Denzil_DC Jun 2017 #21
