"Voting SNP is the only way to beat the Tories in Scotland at the next general election - and a strong team of SNP MPs can ensure Scotland holds the balance of power at Westminster. The SNP's Westminster leader, Stephen Flynn, said: However, Labour has surged in polls in Scotland in recent weeks at the expense of the SNP, which has plummeted in the wake of a police investigation into the party's finances. In particular, the party is targeting seats held by Scottish Tory leader Douglas Ross, current Scotland secretary Alister Jack, and Andrew Bowie MP.
Senior party figures believe that in the wake of the disastrous Conservative local election results in England, the SNP can "finish the job" it started in 2019 when it more than halved the number of Tory-held constituency seats north of the border.
The Scottish National Party (SNP) is set to make an appeal to Labour and Liberal Democrat voters in Scotland to lend them their votes to "lock the Tories out" at the next general election. If she were to have another go at reaching the Tory leadership, it would be her third attempt, having been unsuccessful in the two leadership contests in 2022.īut as the saying goes - third time's the charm. She is now second favourite to become the next Tory leader, after Kemi Badenoch at 7/2, with Boris Johnson just behind on 7/1. In fact, Ladbrokes have slashed the odds on her reaching the top of the party from 8/1 to 13/2. The praise has been so loud that many are saying that she is likely to be the next leader of the Conservative Party if Rishi Sunak loses the next general election. She told Times Radio last week that she had been doing push ups to prepare for holding the 3.6kg sword upright for over an hour.Īdulation came from across the political spectrum, and she was hailed as an excellent representative of the British parliament in the ceremony broadcast around the world. She was the first woman in history to carry the sword - which symbolises royal power - at the coronation. She had the starring role because she is Leader of the House of Commons and Lord President of the Privy Council - the King's advisory body. Penny Mordaunt - or "Penny Sword-daunt", as she has been dubbed - was widely praised for her ability to hold a notoriously heavy 17th century sword upright throughout the ceremony, as well as her fashion choice. The answer to that question, according to the betting odds, is quite possibly.
