I've been up a long time.
I don't think you did.
I don't think I did.
This is Labour's worst performance in the entire devolution era since 1999.
And actually, if you look at their seat total from 1999 onwards, it's gone down
every single election.
Labour clearly has a really serious problem in Scotland, a long-term, serious, serious problem for a party that has, in some respects, its roots in Scotland, its roots in the old, you know, industrial heartlands of this country, in the Labour movement.
And yet it has struggled for years and years and years, and it just seems to get worse.
I mean, is Anas Sarwar going to stay on as leader?
And I should say, Adam, that just in total fairness to Labour, I'm talking about their votes here going down, or rather their seats going down every single Holyrood election.
They clearly have shown the ability
to bounce back, not least a couple of years ago at the general election.
I mean, two years ago, it was a completely different picture.
And there was a great surge of optimism in the Labour Party and they jumped up to 37 seats from one.
And Asarwar really was on track to be first minister.
And so you can see why
He's really annoyed and why he called for the prime minister to quit in February, thinking maybe this is my only hope here, because it does seem that he has been dragged down by the fortunes of the UK government and the deep unpopularity of Secure.
oh yes the big fluffy um that's a sennheiser 416 is it really those who are interested big big fluffy it's a lovely microphone a lot to handle though indeed adam and they are very dangerous when you're filming around dogs oh because they love it dogs love them yeah they do yeah as we all know that you're going fox hunting
