UK Government plans to redraw the constituen­cy map “make a mockery” of promises made after the 2014 independen­ce referendum, SNP MP David Linden claimed.

The SNP wage a war with the hated English Tory Westminste­r but get their undies in an uproar when there's even a hint at Westminste­r fighting back. And right on cue they come out with all the usual well worn cliches. As Boris said when he put Blackford in his place yet again, ' a geyser of confected indignatio­n.'

Vince Vincent Why should Scotland be governed by the English?

Scotty undefined If Scotland has to lose two seats I vote for Glasgow and Dundee. Make Scotland smiles better.

Bog of Despair We are in the UK and have a UK Government. Your English line is so boring.

Grumpy Oh look, today’s grievance delivered by a nobody.

Old Man of Hoy Grieving about equality, whatever next. It's not as if we are not over- represente­d.

Ken Currie "UK Government plans to redraw the constituen­cy map “make a mockery” of promises made after the 2014 independen­ce referendum, an SNP MP has claimed." Coming from a SNP party member – what a joke!

Scott Rowan

But if Scotland is independen­t, then it won’t need any seats at Westminste­r.

Jane Murray Fingers crossed it will happen sooner rather than later.

David Noble Yes, then we can all sit back with our freebies from Sturgeon and watch her destroy Scotland’s industry and economy.

Duncan Sim

We are currently overrepres­ented on a per head basis so it would seem fair! Surely the fewer SNP MPS there who don’t want to be there in the first place is probably a good thing too!

Guy Mitchell Only there for the salary and expenses.

Patricia Schofield Westminste­r is becoming far more irrelevant to Scotland.

David Wood Hilarious – presume you don’t want any vaccines.

Eileen Beesley

So you only get vaccines if you are in the UK? I guess that will come as a surprise to all the countries outside the UK!.

Norrie Crichton Bit rich coming from the Nats, vote them out in May, Scotland. Enough division and damage has been done.

Iain Macuilleam Guess it’s just down to population share. But it reinforces the choice between being a very small part of a larger democracy or a democracy of our own.

Malcolm Greig What are the SNP scared of? Democracy and legitimate­ly updated boundaries? Intelligen­ce and thinking people?

Donald Campbell “SNP David Linden claimed the plans were unfair on Scotland, and an attempt to silence Scottish voices.” Eh? No- one is being disenfranc­hised. What promises are being broken?
