I take it you mean by Scotland staying in the UK Lytham?Not good news for the Tories though.
No, the SNP have decimated Labour in Scotland since 2015.I take it you mean by Scotland staying in the UK Lytham?
That’s what I meant but maybe didnt word it too well. If Scotland were to leave the UK it would severely weaken Labours chances of gaining a majority. But if this scandal over Sturgeon weakens the SNP it could mean Labour picking up some disaffected SNP votersNo, the SNP have decimated Labour in Scotland since 2015.
Yeah, sorry, you were clear the first time I'm just thickThat’s what I meant but maybe didnt word it too well.

But if this scandal over Sturgeon weakens the SNP it could mean Labour picking up some disaffected SNP voters
Have I worded that better?

It's never guaranteed though.Quite right. I'm surprised at the number of people on the right who want her to fall, in some ways, precisely because of this.
You could argue that this is a win-win situation for the Tory High Command. And I have no doubt that some of them would trade the Union for the prospect of long term hegemony in England in an instant.
Not good news for the Tories though.
But their votes would mainly go back to Labour.Doesn't matter either way, the SNP aren't going to support the Conservatives under any circumstances.

But those votes aren't with Labour while the SNP is strong and specifically under Sturgeon, which massively benefits the Tories.Hence doesn't matter either way.
