Westminster Puts SNP to Shame

Image

We, the public, pay the salary of the SNP staffer, Jonathan Kiehlmann, whose security pass has been suspended by the House of Commons Speaker, Sir Lindsay Hoyle.

Kielhmann worked previously for Kirsty Blackman and Kielhmann's behaviour on social media is the reason for his suspension.     

Now if this behaviour had been referred to Nicola Sturgeon, the First Minister would be likely to reject any complaint on the basis that Kielhmann used a personal Twitter account and, therefore, had nothing to do with the Scottish Government or the SNP.

That's certainly the defence Scotland's First Minister has used in the past despite the fact it is so obviously bogus and dishonest.

Thankfully Sir Lindsay Hoyle is made of sterner stuff, so let's hope this is the start of politicians and their staff members being held to account for their behaviour on social media.  

SNP In Thrall to Trans Lobby (October 24, 2021)

The SNP is in thrall to the trans lobby and the party's behaviour on social media is out of control - will Nicola Sturgeon say this is nothing to do with her because it stems from a personal Twitter account? 

But well done to the House of Commons Speaker, Lindsay Hoyle!

Now that we're a month away from the month formerly known as June, we can think about what's happened.

SNP - Conspiracy of Silence

Image
So here's the issue - two Glasgow MSPs (Nicola Sturgeon and Humza Yousaf) have been asked a reasonable question about their use of public money to employ two SNP councillors who already have full-time, salaried jobs as senior elected members of Glasgow City Council.   But these two public servants (both long-serving ministers) refuse to answer, so what to do next? One regular reader suggests raising the matter on the floor of the Scottish Parliament which is a good idea, but requires an MSP who's prepared to put down a written question for Scottish Ministers to answer. So here's a list of activities which will help shine a light on what has been going on because as Lord Nolan once said apropos driving up standards in public life - 'daylight is the best disinfectant'. Write to the leader of Glasgow City Council Write to the Chief Executive of Glasgow City Council Write to all elected members in Glasgow City Council Write to the party leaders in Glasgow City Council W
