Not sure how Susanne Millar defends her comments playing down the seriousness of the Beastie House scandal She should consider her position and resign.

The SNP's dalliance with GFG Alliance appears to be slowly catching up with itself Who would have thought that, eh?

I for one hope Lisa Nandy does much better at DCMS than her predecessor

Brilliant skewering of Scottish Labour and Anas Sarwar here, which DG may not realise he's done.

Few SLab folk earlier this year were saying this election would have more in common with 2011 for Labour to win it (i.e. coming back from a distance like Salmond did). We are at the highlighted point in the 2011 campaign, by which time the SNP had reversed their polling deficit.

The long and short of this YouGov polling is you are going to struggle to win an election by trying to make it a referendum on the incumbent's record, when your own party has no approval for its own - far more salient - record Rightly or wrongly, it's Starmer who is tanking Sarwar, not the SNP.

A few days after Labour Conference, here's my take on what it means for Scottish Labour They're a party that feels high on copium, dragged down by a party chief they know is a bust but can't change
