Sorry but that is clearly not true. They absolutely did claim that and a quick search on Google shows Nicola Sturgeon next to 'Stop Brexit' signs and same for Alyn Smith. Lots of tweets from SNP politcians as well saying the same.Quote:

Aye you're right. But it wasn't saying "we will stop brexit" it was saying "EU elections: Nicola Sturgeon urges Scotland to send 'stop Brexit' message".Quote:

Excuse me. But how many people backed the "say naw tae Scottish referendums" party in Scotland in this election?Quote:

Kirsty Blackman completely cut off on Sky News there. While they talk a bunch of nonsense around the table on how Scotland doesn't want another referendum. :grr:
I voted SNP which I always have, and it will be interesting to hear Ruth Davidson on the dreadful performance from the Tories, we normally only hear from her when they're scoring points. They haven't scored any this time round.
Any reaction from Tornadoes yet? 🙊

:agree: but I don't think it's a democratic right, it's just a right. Milkshaking is infantile but so has been some of the language used by the milkshaked. In particular, use of words like betrayal and anti-democratic. Hijacking language for their own purposes has boosted their vote but hasn't helped the situation.Quote:

A massive result for the SNP in the Scottish borders last Thursday.
We're on the right path.
We even won, Moray. ✌🏆
In Scotland Snp increase their representation in Europe by 50% Conservative decrease their representation by 50%
That is fairly clear. Pro EU parties 67% representation in Scotland.
Which actually fits the Remain-Leave polling in Scotland pretty well atm (probably sightly under represents Remain).Quote:

About 40% in Scotland I think, which was up a few points on 2014.Quote:
