I think the SNP are going to get utterly stuffed. They may have done nothing wrong (apart from being stupid & supine) but the relentless attacks & toxification from MSM & opposition parties will Corbynise them to the extent that people go - "I don't want to vote Labour - but I can't vote for THEM". I'm pretty confident most SNP voters aren't highly engaged pro-indy activists, Starmer's ButI'mNotTheTories schtick will be good enough, so that'll be the independence movement in the bin again for decades.
And you're right - Starmer will be a one-term miracle of underachieving dismalness, fiddling around the edges of the ToryScape he inherits, pulling a sad face & tearfully bleating "fiscal ruuuules" as he changes absolutely jack sh!t for anyone who's not a lobbyist or donor.
Then it'll be New And Exciting Tories again, painting their own mess as Starmer's becauses he will have fixed nothing and promising shiny, fresh hate, bigotry and sovereignty, triumphantly reducing Labour to a relative handful of seats - mostly in Scotland where the only Tories we'll grudgingly vote for are the Red Ones.
And then follows at least a decade of Tory government, worse than anything we've seen before and under which a significant proportion of us - definitely me - will draw our dying breath.
Oh yeah - happy New Year, you bunch of cünts. 😘
