So, not content with kicking the party, let's now kick their auditors.

The bit about the "overdue" Confirmation Statement is pure nonsense. It was filed on 11 April, 2 weeks before the deadline.


But, they're wee, therefore they're no very good.

You mean following the previous time Labour shafted Scotland over devolution? How many Labour MPs crossed the chamber that day? And why did Labour not take advantage of the 'pairing convention' when one of their own MPs was too unwell to attain the confidence vote? Labour ultimately decided to let Thatcher in.

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2018/jul/20/honourable-behaviour-by-whips-that-led-to-thatcher

That story of the 'pairing convention' revealed an honour among party whips that it's all but impossible to imagine occurring today.

The SNP's decision to help pave the way for Thatcher, however, cost them dear, losing 9 of their 11 seats at the subsequent GE.

It was opposed because of, believe it or not, cross border Tampax raids! https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/p...ampon-21469707

But ultimately they did implement it which would suggest that tweaks were made to the original bill put forward by Labour (and backed by the tories) to make the policy workable while limiting abuse.

I thought it was the Greens who backed the original bill, I might have that wrong.

You can frame it however you like. It was Labour's own responsibility and they ultimately took the decision that led to a Thatcher Government. I'm sure both Thatcher and Labour were delighted with the impact that it had on the SNP considering their joint anti-devolution agenda. Worked out for the SNP in the long run though.

Difference is, the SNP worked with the tories as the leading party, because the alternatives flat out refused to work with them. Labour didn't need to do deals with the tories in local councils, especially councils where the SNP won the highest vote share. You're creating false equivalences.

SNP deals with Tories - good. Labour deals with Tories - bad.

Nope. Read the article. Jackson Carlaw fully backed the original bill with it's flaws.

Or made to look as if they were shamed into it, when the devil was in the detail of the original bill.

Nothing non-sensical about it. You hate deals with the Tories except when the SNP do it. But maybe we can agree on this, that coalitions, informal or otherwise, are legitimate when circumstances require them.

The SNP had to work with the tories in 2007 because Labour gave them the middle finger. Labour had the option to work with the SNP in those councils and chose to form actual coalitions with the tories, again, giving the SNP the middle finger.

You know all the details then? Did the SNP offer Labour a deal? Labour might have thought let's work collectively across the Parliament, but the Tory SNP alliance meant that couldn't happen.

I don't think it is an assumption, why would Monica Lennon receive thanks from the committee convener for bringing the Bill to parliament and raising awareness if that was the case. Do you not have an opinion on the free school dinners pilot u-turn by the SNP?

Gillian Martin and Julie Hepburn were discussing period poverty in the SNP since 2016. It was discussed at policy level, and was finally accepted when the money could be found. Monica Lennon brought forward her bill after this and was supported by both Gillian and Julie.

Well done to them all.

Unless a party is lying to candidates in an internal election about the size of the electorate as the SNP did it’s nobody’s business but theirs really how many members they have. I doubt anybody really cares normally.

I'll bet there's only maybe a couple people on here know who Hibs auditors are and maybe even the last time they were changed.

We all have a big interest in Hibs (probably) and more than a few of us will be shareholders. We should all know these things 😆

I'm a shareholder and I spent 4 years as an auditor so have a higher than normal interest in the boring stuff like that, and I've completely forgotten who our auditors are.

Labour moves ahead of SNP in list vote according to poll, while support for independence also falls.

It's like a lot of these process things. No one cares when it's done in the normal order of business. It's when you don't carry out tge normal order of business that it becomes an issue.
