'Heads must roll': Anger as state-owned Ferguson Marine loses £100m ferries contract to overseas firms https://t.co/YZK72KhXKV

The SNP took Ferguson Marine into public ownership and promised a bright new future for Scottish shipbuilding - yet the yard failed to make the shortlist to provide two new lifeline ferries to serve Islay and Jura.
I don't even know who the relevant Scottish Minister is, but s/he ought to be handing in their resignation.
So let's get this straight - the SNP bought, and now subsidise, an actual Scottish shipyard with taxpayers' cash - our hard cash (lots of it) - and that shipyard is not up to the job of actually building ships? SNP stronger for Scotland? 😂 https://t.co/EkYKWRuw0I
