Good for them!  Wish them luck.

Those Scottish nationalists experiencing problems in accepting the independence defeat are gleefully portrayed as stumbling through the Kübler-Ross five stages of grief model. Some grief. Seven years ago, their party remained in opposition in its own devolved parliament. Since then, it has become the natural party of government in Scotland, having achieved an overall majority of seats and having come closer to bringing the British establishment to its knees than Hitler, Napoleon or Christine Keeler. Its membership currently sits at around 70,000, almost three times what it was on 18 September. If Carlsberg made political defeats…

Check out the happy faces in the article - pic from the Labour Party Conference:

I guess they will be getting themselves a new leader?

Well, if by 'new' you mean exchanging one useless trougher for another........

That'll be it.  Birds of a feather and all that......

Just look at all those happy Labour faces ^^^^, don't they just inspire you to...vote for just about anyone that isn't them?

I can see that it's being so cheerful that keeps them going.  

The dream must be repeating itself with some urgency now?

Hopefully giving some people nightmares, Lily....

Labour troughing at its finest:

That's quite the line of people holding Saltires, Bonny.  

You all should charge over inflated prices for their troughs.

Labour, the party of the Peepul.

He is also wealthy because of an inheritance from his Marxist father Ralph and his share of the value of the former family home. He used this money and the proceeds of a flat he bought in the 1980s for £100,000 to purchase a house in Hampstead for £650,000. In 2009 he sold this for £740,000.

You couldn't make it up.....

Am I right that he is proposing to slash assorted benefits and also pensions?   LL

Everything except MPs pay and expenses, LL - the troughers awarded themselves a 9% rise.

I will blog on this, kept very quiet during indyref, but Labour were exceptionally vile to me and other female candidates. Silence over.

@nataliemcgarry Why did you keep quiet on it during #indyref?

Quite. Serves her right for choosing to be a unionist doormat.

Looks like it runs in the family - 2102 - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2093272/21K-day-David-Miliband-exploits-tax-loophole-Government-pledged-close.html

No comment. LL

I absolutely detest these champagne socialists, LL - the US is plagued with them now, too. They are actually worse than Tories; everyone knows what Tories are, but these troughers pretend to be better, when in reality they are the biggest leeches going.

You said it, Bonny.  It's all pretense and nothing more.  Greedy barstewards.

There`s a murmur in the air. There`s a magic atmosphere. Oh yes you know it`s true. @theSNP is 70,000 strong!! Join: https://my.snp.org/join

Well done!  Still counting too?

Indeed, Lily. It's all most peculiar. I've never seen anything like it before, it's breaking all the rules of politics. The Greens and the SSP are seeing similar rises, though they are a bit more 'niche' than the SNP. I don't know if it's because the unionist campaign was so dirty and corrupt, or if people have finally woken up, or what has happened.

But the three big parties seem to be in real trouble now, with UKIP causing havoc in England.

   Yes.  Wonderful news that keeps getting better.
