No sooner had I finished writing my post about the latest shipbuilding shambles than I came across this helpful tweet from Mike Elrick which names the two SNP ministers responsible for this debacle - whose joint salaries come to a whopping £208,000 a year plus pension benefits.
Another Shipbuilding Shambles (September 16, 2021)
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.
