Will Mr Sunak sink?

Bonus Tuesday Election Podcast

This is the first of our omnibus editions to mark the announcement of the UK General Election on 4th July – Independence Day! It may have been a surprise but at least us Nationalist Extremists haven’t been banned from voting!

In the first half of this episode Fiona and Marlene react to the initial announcement
  • were we surprised? Yes! And bit of a watery launch… Things can only get wetter!
  • Sunak is ‘avoiding the school holidays’. Aye, right!
  • Will SNP be happy about this date?
  • it’s a FPTP voting system. Alba, SSP, SIP, Greens all standing candidates. But is it wise to split the indy vote? We think not. So our election slogan: Vote SNP to End the Union.
  • info for registering to vote, arranging postal vote if you’ll be on holiday, making sure you have a correct personal ID in order to vote.
And in the second half we take a look at the various campaign launch speeches.  
Election Countdown. UK Labour in Scotland
  • some hilarious photos of Mr Sunak on the campaign trail.
  • Labour’s Union Jacks mysteriously disappear in Scotland. Aye, right.
  • Fiona’s first canvasser arrives at the door. Election spending rules. Fewer constituencies with new boundaries.
  • John Swinney, first reactions to the election
  • Alex Salmond: clip from his speech at Alba Conference
  • Patrick Harvie, Lorna Slater: making climate and environment their campaigning themes
  • John Swinney’s ABC: Austerity, Brexit, Cost of living crisis
  • latest YouGov sub-poll for Scottish voters showing SNP ahead of Labour.
  • The various deadline dates for voter registration etc can be found on the website Electoral Commission
  • And remember 4th July: Independence Day
Election Countdown. Independence Day.
