All this ‘size of our membership’ talk by SNP supporters sounds a bit FOH to me 😀

Well, it's on the way down sharply, so we can but hope FOH follows suit.

It is pretty remarkable what happened to the SNP membership following the Indyref and I guess we are now seeing that, suprise!, it was an anomalous high and things are trending back to the mean.

To be fair it was a non-SNP supporter that 1st posted something relating to the party falling apart, it's fair it's responded to IMHO.

That said... I can see your point!

It's remarkable the numbers stayed steady for 7 years post referendum. It also is how it's fell of a cliff particular in the last year. It will certainly effect finances but it won't necessarily matter, as long as the leavers doesn't show a trend of people stopping voting snp

Guessing this is what may lie behind the Murrell loan.

Dunblane and Bridge of Allan. Always was going to be a Tory win. The SNP vote share went up so not too bad a result while not unexpected

They lost to Labour up in Aberdeen a few weeks ago as well.

Just when you think our Islanders have suffered enough. There are real consequences for peoples lives because of this absolute farce. And still nobody takes responsibility.

A few hours after Ash Regan raised concerns about her actions in the FM elections, Liz Lloyd resigns. She was Nicola Sturgeons chief of staff and says she was always going to go when NS quit, so goes weeks later

"So there are lots of questions here. What has been promised to [Liz Lloyd]? Why is it that Liz Lloyd is being paid by the taxpayer helping Humza Yousaf, the party’s favourite candidate?" they said.

The other half of the electorate or thereabouts would prefer to see the dead weight of constitutional debate pushed way down the agenda when it comes to Scottish politics. In the current economic climate it may well be that the mass exodus of members from the SNP reflects that view too. There are simply bigger priorities for many these days.

Sturgeon kicked up a stink about the 'democracy denial' of the Supreme Court decision and the s35, yet membership has continued to fall in the wake of such rabble-rousing hyperbole (probably a key aspect of her decision to quit). The opportunity to actually make a difference at the ballot box may well sway voters next time out. Labour, though, really need to ramp up their credentials here to ensure that happens, so I suspect we'll see plenty more of the rhetoric from Starmer that he's been coming out with this week.

Yep. SNP members are leaving because they don’t want independence any more.

Murray Foote SNPs media manager quits. He said to the media last month that it was nonsense they lost 30,000 members and said similar on twitter. He's chucked a grenade as he's going saying that the information was from HQ.

Bizarre. No wonder they are routing for Yousaf as there would be sackings at HQ for incompetence. Any more resignations coming today or we quite done?

Murrell should surely be considering his own position now.

Liz Lloyd...was she not at the heart of the alleged attempt to make the Salmond allegations 'go away'?

[Ozyhibby]

Yousaf will be hoping a lot of people voted early because being the continuity candidate now is not a great look.

Well, that's quite the allegation...the rush to leak the story did seem odd at the time right enough.

If any of the other two win the stench won’t stop. The SNP are looking just as dysfunctional as the Tories right now. What a mess.

No mention from anyone of Stephen Flynn on QT last night?

I’ve never seen anyone turn an audience like that in my life 😂

Big chance on the national telly and he blew it in his first response.

It isn’t even that he was saying anything unexpected, the SNP are desperately trying to avoid a Starmer majority. It was the way he said it, the room thought he was an idiot.

Worst thing for him and whoever advised him on his lines was that he had made a decent start, although slagging a Tory budget is the political equivalent of shooting fish in a barrel.

the mask of many years, which is to argue only about the constitution in the hope that nobody will notice how bad you are in government, has slipped completely.

Thing is, he is only saying what many of us on here - pro-independence, anti- independence, couldn’t give a •••• about flags and woad - have been saying for a good while now.

His first response was the “decent start” (?!) and he was applauded by the audience for most of his input throughout. Sure, the woman next to him rolled her eyes a couple of times and his opposition thought he was an “idiot”.

I assumed it was the Keir Starmer tie comments you took exception to. Like I say, no issue for me personally - saying what so many of us think, including Labour supporters. If your main take from Question Time last night was that Stephen Flynn looked an idiot and blew a big chance then I can’t see either of us budging.

I enjoyed him and think he done well. Happy to agree to disagree with no condescending essays required.
