The only way that could work is if all the other parties got together to agree a new first minister, which would effectively mean a coalition between Labour and Tories. Can't see that happening a few months before a general election. Their London bosses just wouldn't allow it. They would also need LibDim support as well. They are not going into coalition with anybody any time soon, after what happened to them the last time they did it.

I'll bet Humza is absolutely buzzin' right now. He will be thinking along the lines of "I've survived for over a year with absolute bucket loads of shit being thrown in my direction, it's now time for me to show them "wha's in cherge aroond here". Will it work? Time will tell, I suppose.

His response of "I wouldn't know, personally" was almost Salmondesque. I wonder if he has been seeking some advice from some different people than he has been, up to now? 😉

Sounds like Humza has got his retaliation in first. Wise move, IMO. Maybe he (or his advisors?) aren't as daft as some folk seem to think.

Aye, we should never underestimate the "glory hunter" effect. If folk think their team has a real good chance of winning, they are much more likely to go. It's the same for any club or country. Same reason why most Scotland games are now almost sell outs, when we struggled to get over 35,000 a few years ago.

Beaddumber might be more fitting?.

Some of them on here as well. 🤣

The Greens have probably picked the worst time possible (for themselves) to do this. By far the main reason the SNP entered into this agreement, is to the get the budget passed relatively easily each year, instead of the normal excruciating negotiations they used to have to go through in the past. The budget has been passed for this year so the SNP have nothing to lose until budget time next year. I'm guessing that if the members vote to end the BHA, Harvie and Slater will resign and they may even leave the party. Wouldn't be surprised if they joined the SNP.

Did she forget or did she just hope that nobody would notice. 🤣 As you say....Politicians?

If he picks forrest I'm sending my tickets back

🤣

Oh aye, I read it wrong. You're right, a pitch invasion was OTT. 👍

Good. Hopefully he won't pick up an injury sitting on the bench?

I seem to remember it being a great tackle from a Brasilian defender? Could be wrong though.

One positive for Clarke is that he now won't have to worry about having to drop players who were expecting to go. 🤣Especially if it is a 26 man squad. Not long ago, some folk on here were debating endlessly about who he will drop if it's a 23 man squad. When it was obvious that he just had to wait to see who was eventually available. Now it looks like we will struggle to get a good 20 man squad out of what is left. And still time for more injuries yet.
