As if the Scottish Labour Party did not have enough problems these days, one of its MPs, David Hamilton, has made a major boo boo by describing Nicola Sturgeon (the SNP leader) as "the wee lass with the tin helmet on".
Apparently Mr Hamilton made the comments during a speech at the Scottish Labour conference and was later given a dressing down by the party's deputy leader, Kezia Dugdale.
Later still a Scottish Labour spokesperson said:
"David Hamilton acknowledged his comment was inappropriate immediately after he made it"
Yet only hours before Hamilton told his fellow conference goers:
Now Nicola Sturgeon is more than capable of looking after herself, but you do have to wonder at the sheer stupidity of it all and the attitude of knuckle-dragging MPs who behave in this way.
