This verbatim exchange might be the best clip of the night:
Quote
Douglas Ross: Are you any different to your predecessors?
John Swinney: I'm John Swinney!




John Swinney comes across as a man who really does not want to be doing this at his time of life in every public engagement.
John Swinney comes across as John Swinney to me in that statement

Just to give a rundown of the various minor left parties:

The Communist Party of Britain (CPB): The Marxist-Leninist faction of the old CPGB, which broke away from the main party in 1988 after it adopted a Eurocommunist platform. A fairly old-school Marxist-Leninist formation, it maintains ties with the Workers Party of Korea and is a signatory to the Pyongyang Declaration (organised in 1992 by the latter party).


It turns out I'm in a server with a CPB supporter, it's a normally non-political place for posting foxes but they posted this alongside the message "Literally the only party that actually gives a crap about us here":



(yea I know discord will kill this link in a few days, it's not too important, just a rainbow flag with a hammer and sickle saying "for LGBT liberation not rainbow capitalism" and their website)

in the event of an England win today, I can see the half-hearted campaign argument from the Tories about making a late comeback to win just like England did vs Slovakia

in the spirit of Bob Dole trying to do a whistle stop ala Harry Truman in 1996
