Almost six months after the Scottish National party’s heavy defeat in the UK general election, polls suggest its fortunes are already reviving as sentiment cools towards Sir Keir Starmer’s Labour government. A recent poll also found 54 per cent support for Scottish independence — the SNP’s defining goal — the highest level in four years. “

Interesting how despite SNP taking a hit last election, that support for independence didn’t really suffer.

As much as they would like it to be otherwise support for indi isn't tied to support for the party. They are just the most visible face of it

Edit. I appreciate the upvote even though I completely screwed up that sentence 🙃

Yes please. Hopefully that will prompt the north to leave as well.
