Prediction.
Labour will win a few more seats in Scotland, and they will get swept up in the UK wide triumphalism. When Labour fails to deliver the undefined and undeliverable 'change' they are promising, Labour will get gubbed at the next Holyrood election.
SNP will ask for another independence referendum. UK Labour will say 'Now is not the time'. Repeat until Nigel Farage takes over and just abolishes Scotland.
What happens then is anyone's guess.

Mrs Cloudy (cloudymrs@mastodon.scot)'s status on Tuesday, 11-Jun-2024 03:03:23 JST Mrs Cloudy @twobiscuits How exactly? Should Scots chase him out of town? Should we ignore him at the ballot box?
We already did both those things.
He isn't our idiot and we can't do anything to stop England from claiming him as their own. -

Twobiscuits :graz: (twobiscuits@graz.social)'s status on Tuesday, 11-Jun-2024 03:03:25 JST Twobiscuits :graz: @CloudyMrs I couldn't disagree more. Farage & co. are a pan-European problem & we all have to work together to get over it. Or all end up under the boot of whatever Farage, the AfD, Le Pen, Meloni, Putin & the Chinese decide to inflict on us.
