All the political parties are having issues this week.
The Tories lost two by-elections with massive swings to Labour.
Labour cock a hoop but look to be in trouble with Sadiq Khan, Andy Burnham and Anas Sarwar all calling for an immediate ceasefire. Starmer's LBC interview where he did not, despite later "clarifications", condemn Israel's cutting off water, food, and electricity to Gaza leading to resignations by councilors right across the UK.
The SNP saw Ash Regan, so recently a contender for party leader defect to Alba, with hints from Alba of more to come.
Not to be left out Lorna Slater, currently Minister for Green Skills, Circular Economy and Biodiversity in the Scottish Government, said that independence is not a red line for her party going into co-operation with other parties at Holyrood.
