So forgive me if I chuckle quietly whenever I hear a Nat claiming Jim Murphy is good news for Nats.

It doesn't matter who Labour selected the SNP support would have claimed it's a disaster for Labour. I think it's part a disingenuous way of keeping up the narrative of Labour tanking in Scotland and the SNP souring and part a genuine belief that he is a bad choice because it's not who they, the nationalists, would have chosen. They don't understand that hardcore nationalists or socialists are not the demographic Labour are chasing. People are really bad at separating their personal political outlook from the wider political situation.
Still I am quite worried about the SNP. They're dominating Scotland at the moment.
They claim they'll make scrapping trident a non-negotiable part of any coalition agreement which, agree or disagree with the policy, should not be a decision which is taken in haste on the back of a grubby agreement for power!
If we're not careful then the SNP will continue to make Independence a popular cause and the Unions days will be numbered if we don't fight back.
