The best response to Guido's challenge was from DiscoverJoy
You put your left foot in,

I suspect that Annabel Goldie the Conservative leader in Scotland may be under orders from David Cameron to ensure that from now on she makes life difficult for the SNP in order to stop the flow of Labour voters to the SNP or even to reverse it.
