I've already seen plenty from Starmer and his cabal to have a clear idea of what they'll be like in government, and I'm not looking forward to it.

As for the SNP, all I'll say is if you think they're in a mess or turmoil, you should see Scottish Labour, the Scottish Tories and the Scottish Lib Dems (the Scottish Greens I dealt with in the OP)!
