The Tories spent £1.3 m illions in Scotland for 1 Westminster seat!
Evidently the SNP feel Westminster is a sideshow but Labour obviously need their seats from Scotland.

That's an interesting statistic. Labour spend big on Westminster, the SNP spend big on Holyrood.
I doubt these figures will be prominent in the media as it doesn't follow the, "Labour the poor underdog, the SNP bad rich people", narrative.
