The SNP are having a great Brexit. They do benefit from balanced reporting though.
For all the complaints about Labour and Corbyn in particular, I think they've been nothing if not consistent.They wanted a general election - vote of no confidence didn't pass.
They tabled a second referendum - not enough votes.
They tabled an alternative, with supporting noises from the EU - not enough votes. (Though won over former Conservative Chancellor Ken Clarke.)Again, worth noting that JC and all but 27 labour MPs supported the confirmatory referendum.
The truth is, the Conservatives own the Brexit shit show, lock stock and barrel. Yet from the reporting in almost all the UK news, I'd surmise that some in the media are more afraid of a moderate dose of socialism than they are of Brexit.

Wait wait wait wait.
What alternative, specifically? I've yet to hear what Labour actually thinks they can achieve. Calling for 'something else' and a 'better brexit' isn't a plan.

Loads of them 'abstained' (didn't indicate yes or no) though, didn't they?

Margaret Thatcher is still remembered with much hatred up there. The SNPs interest in social welfare is relatively new. It's a message that will resonate with the middle-aged and older but mean little to most people younger than that.
It'll have almost no effect on the balance on power in Scotland, though. The SNP is playing Brexit very well and Labour's official line on that (or lack of it) is useless in comparison.
