Background
With no government majority and a good opinion poll rating the government derived from supporting Brexit called an election and the SNP thought it was worth backing due to thire good poll rating based on stopping Brexit in Scotland.

The leading issues were Grenfell Tower, Brexit, urban knifings, the crappy service pattern run by Northern Rail, the NHS, American exports of chlorinated chicken, Scottish independence, Brexit, immigration and the economy.
