Reshuffle Woes for Jezza, how can they fight the Tories when they keep fighting themselves. Even I'm getting embarrassed by this turkey shoot.

Precisely, Naomi, but you didn't see the Scots - or the Welsh or the Northern Irish - voting for the Tories either, but that's what they've all got!

Indeed, and the Scots voting SNP didn't help. ;o)

Well QM, NI has it's own "Tories" and Wales did elect several Tories. Scotland have never been Tory, we've only ever had a few of seats Max so I guess the best thing for Scotland is independence perhaps you should have a referendum on that....hang on!

//perhaps you should have a referendum on that....hang on! //

they will - just like in ireland, the neverendum will keep going until the SNP-dominated scottish parliament gets the "right answer".

but, actually there will be a good reason for one if the "Brexit" vote calls for the UK to leave the EU. it's unlikely an independent Scotland would vote for an exit, so an independence vote will then be required.

I agree with everything Ich says and am saddened that it has come to this.
As for Hilary Benn - I am reminded of a tweet (I re-tweeted) 'Whatever the question Dianne Abbot is not the answer'

TTT, I wasn't suggesting that no Tories were elected outside England, but just that they were about as rare as hens' teeth! About a dozen or so out of some 120.
Also, it's just not true to suggest that Scotland has "never been Tory". I'm old enough to remember the days when they frequently rivalled or defeated Labour in Scotland. The MP for the constituency in which I was born in the 1930s was Bob Boothby, for example, a man from the very heart of Conservatism!
Have a look here for the truth - and not the myth – about Scotland’s anti-Toryism:
