Ian Blackford, the SNP’s Westminster leader, also spoke at the SNP conference today, with a speech that challenged UK Labour on Brexit.

Inevitably he focused on the good news in the Times/YouGov poll, of which there was plenty, in terms of voters continuing to switch from Labour to the nationalists.

In Westminster voting intentions the SNP enjoy a 13 point lead over the Tories and a 17 point lead over Labour, while at Holyrood the lead is 14 over the Tories and 19 over Labour.

He had a neat line referring to Labour’s “utterly embarrassing” position on Brexit.

So here’s the SNP’s message to Jeremy Corbyn – you might be fooling the few but you are not fooling the many.

He went on the call for Labour to join the SNP in the Brexit voting next week in supporting staying in the single market and the customs union.
