Absolutely fantastic statement for the Telegraph to make in their article where not only did the provider of their MRP forget to remove Greens from constituencies and suggest Reform's strongest seat in Scotland would be Strathkelvin and Bearsden, *they didn't even do D'Hondt correctly*

Anas Sarwar launched his Holyrood campaign almost entirely on the foundations of how much people are right to hate and fear trans people and they should be segregated from society. Within a few weeks he then completely botched a coup on his own boss and his career looks likely to be over. Fitting.

It’s understandable that lots of people fell for the Woke free speech gender whatever drivel. It was everywhere people looked, often all they ever heard. Nonetheless, if you fell for any bit of it, you now need to reflect on how you were taken in and the uses that your credulity are being put to.
