From Citibase:
‘Despite making numerous incendiary remarks and being at the heart of a ‘civil war’ among his own party, 23% of SMEs would still like to see Boris Johnson as the next Prime Minister, closely followed by Theresa May (21%) and Jeremy Corbyn (17%). Interestingly, support for ‘BoJo’ is particularly high in the North East at 30%, while unsurprisingly Nicola Sturgeon takes precedence in Scotland with 23% of the votes.’
What about Ruthie? Isn’t she tipped for FM and PM? See these reliable and authoritative predictions:
I was going to say she’d need to give up the drink but Churchill never did.
For some reason we don’t get to see who came second or third or fourth in the Scottish sub-set.
Is this another wee bit of evidence that Scots are a bit different. Regular readers will know that I’ve been wittering on agreeably about this notion that Scotland is different enough in terms of the commonality of values such as collectivism over individualism to add that factor to its rationale for independence. Of course, it’s not an essential requirement to justify independence and there are many Scots (Tory supporters) who might be better swapped with ‘nice’ English folk, but it does seem important to our NoMedia for them to want to undermine it all the time:
Here are some only of the many reports here on related matters:
Abuse of women and the disabled far higher in England than in Scotland
Scottish Muslim students far less likely to report abuse or crime?
Terror de-radicalisation referral rate in Scotland less than one third per capita of that in England
Scientific evidence that Scots tend to be different from the other groups in rUK?
Who said Scots were not more left-wing than those in the rest of the UK?
The only say Untruthie would be FM is if the 3 English Colonial Parties in Scotland former their oen littlr Union and were as one. Snd then fixed the vote.

Now that the Colonel is dusting down her uniform to return to service the ‘progressive’ metropolitan meeja has begun to salivate. The New Statesman has a piece about the Colonel’s imminent elevation to PM. The rest of the metropolitan meeja is salivating about Nigel Farage’s new party and his emulation of Mussolini’s ‘March on Rome’. Although they kept Tommy Robinson’s march separate from the march of respectable WHITE people (Mr Jon Snow), the simultaneity of both was a coded message implying social disorder is a possibility.

A well established fact – when folk from down south get off the train or plane here the first thing that hits them is that, wherever it might be that they’ve arrived, ‘it’s not England’.

A wee poem Boris published while editor of the Spectator.
“The Scotch–what a verminous race!
Canny, pushy, chippy, they’re all over the place.
Battening off us with false bonhomie;
Polluting our stock, undermining our economy.
Down with sandy hair and knobbly knees!
Supress the tartan dwarves and the Wee Frees!
Ban the kilt, the skean-dhu and the sporran
As provocatively, offensively, foreign!
It’s time Hadrians Wall was refortified.
To pen them in on the other side.
I would go further. The nation
Deserves not merely isolation
But comprehensive extermination.
We must not flinch from a solution.
(I await legal prosecution.)
By James Michie…………. But giving an insight into the thinking of Boris and his “Ajockalypse now!”

By the way, the poem is titled “Friendly Fire”, an odd description for an Englishman advocating the cultural and physical genocide of the people of Scotland.
