On the basis of last night’s by-election result, or anything close to it, at the next general election, the answer to the thread title is still no, and rather more no than it’s been in quite some time.

The Nats crashed more than 16 points in Rutherglen and Hamilton West; Labour won with a 20% swing to finish on more than 58% of the vote. Say what you like about turnout, tactical voting and covid, that’s not a good look for Wee Humza Scooter and a swing of even half that size next year will see the Nats lose half their seats in Scotland.
