Scottish Labour may yet do Britain a service… by sparing it Corbyn

It will help Davidson solidify her grip on the unionist base, and give swing voters minded for a change from the SNP fewer alternatives to consider.

Henry Hill: Senior Scottish Tories ‘plotting to block Johnson’s bid for Downing Street’

Also: Bradley retains May’s confidence as she takes belated action on MLA salaries; Plaid’s new, right-wing leader offers prospect of Tory pact; and more.

Henry Hill: McCluskey suggests that Unite may support Labour standing in Northern Ireland

It’s a Labour special: Leonard contradicts Corbyn to rule out support for second Scottish referendum; and Jones offers cash boost to firms affected by Brexit.

Henry Hill: Salmond quits the SNP and takes Scottish Government to court

Also: Government accused of ‘appeasing the IRA’ over Ulster veterans; Welsh Labour leadership hopefuls in data row; and DUP urge end to Stormont boycott.

Henry Hill: Democratic Unionists demand answers over Rowntree donations to terror-linked groups

Also: Corbyn tries to rally support with Scottish tour; Clark in Dublin to keep Ulster’s lights on during no-deal Brexit; and huge scale of Scottish deficit revealed.

The ‘crisis’ between Westminster and Holyrood is political, not constitutional

May is right to press ahead with the Withdrawal Bill. Westminster’s prerogatives should be defended tactfully, but they must be defended.

Holyrood’s tax powers should be a boon to Labour and the Tories

Both of the national parties are built around different attitudes to economic policy, and the Scottish Parliament’s new responsibilities will force tough choices on the SNP.

If Scottish Labour draws the SNP leftwards, the Tories will be the winners

Just as with Leave voters, another big swath of the electorate might be abandoned to Ruth Davidson as her rivals focus elsewhere.

Henry Hill: Jones under mounting pressure over claims of ‘toxic’ ministerial bullying culture

Also: Scottish Labour plunge into chaos again as interim leader resigns; Brokenshire threatens MLAs’ pay; MPs debate ‘indyref2’; and more.

Henry Hill: Brokenshire urged to slash MLAs’ pay to get Stormont up and running

Also: Prison reform campaigner compares Wales to Australia; Foster praises May’s speech; Scottish Labour leadership challengers urge party to vote down Brexit deal.

Henry Hill: The public’s scepticism towards devolution is not reflected among their rulers

Also: DUP dig in their heels in Stormont dispute; and Scottish Labour leadership challenger credits Corbyn with party’s revival.

Dugdale’s resignation is a boon to Corbyn, and perhaps Davidson too

The left will strengthen their position inside Labour, but may push more voters towards the more centrist, avowedly unionist Scottish Conservatives.

Salmond falls! Scotland’s results are the silver lining to the black Tory cloud

As the SNP have a terrible night, the Tories post their best seat total north of the border since 1983.

May now has her chance to credibly warn that Sturgeon will prop up Corbyn

Remember when Tory strategists fretted about getting the public to believe Labour were a real risk? Problem solved.
