No actual competent, high-profile, tried-and-tested individual with any real political conviction is going to want these jobs.

Nah. You can more or less shelve any talk of Indy for at least a decade. Truly torpedoed.

Yes that's why
it is fun to watch


Tonight 9PM STV1HD

on my Separate
SATHD box free viewing
that picks it up on the Turkish Feed.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Kate looking on point.


Yousless looking shifty in his fake tartan tie. he fools noone where his heart lies.

[Crimson Dynamo]

[Crimson Dynamo]

Humza Yousaf, Ash Regan and Kate Forbes will not face an audience of sympathetic activists.

Nor will they be invited to give a clip for the news, the kind of soundbite which does not come with a serious interrogation of the content of the answer.

For the first time, nerves may feature as they realise that over an hour of live television in a demanding format could sink their campaign with a slip of the tongue.

Tomorrow, a clear frontrunner may emerge, or a candidacy could be sent to the knackers’ yard.

STV’s political editor Colin Mackay will ensure that answers which evade or are platitudinous, or embrace a love of waffle, will be punctured by a simple act of interrogation.

Great Debate


STV1HD

[Crimson Dynamo]

Ash says we need to stop thinking we need permission from Westminster to be independent

[arista]

He is a Cocky Sod (Humza )

[Crimson Dynamo]

Yousless says iv had no nurses strikes (he caved)

[Crimson Dynamo]

Yousless pretending he cares about Scottish independence

[Crimson Dynamo]

Humza Yousaf calls the current Labour party a "pale imitation of the Tories" when Ash
Regan hints that they would be more open to negotiation on independence than the
current government.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Mr Yousaf accuses Kate Forbes of not being able to keep yes voters on side due to her views on same-sex marriage

[Crimson Dynamo]

Yousless makes a horrible extreme left view about illegal people who want to freeload in the UK by boat, for likes, hideous

Yes

[Crimson Dynamo]

Ash Regan says she is "totally committed to net zero", after previously coming under fire for her comments on the oil and gas industry.

[Crimson Dynamo]

All candidates pledge their support for Scotland rejoining the EU.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Both Humza Yousaf and Ash Regan highlight their position as republicans when asked about the monarchy.

Kate Forbes said she didn't think it was a pressing issue.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Ash Regan refuses to say if she will offer ministerial jobs to Humza Yousaf and Kate Forbes if she wins the leadership. Kate Forbes would happily offer Humza Yousaf a position, "as long as it's not health".
