Government By Gang

Scottish Ministers are deliberately withholding information - because they were quick to release unofficial 'estimated' data on Monday when it suited their purpose having previously insisted that no such data would be released.

To their great discredit Humza Yousaf, John Swinney and Nicola Sturgeon all commented on this unofficial data via their personal Twitter accounts.

But yesterday (Monday) estimated figures were suddenly announced and Scottish Ministers - including Nicola Sturgeon, John Swinney and Humza Yousaf - started tweeting about them from their personal social media accounts.


What odd behaviour, especially as Scottish Ministers have some 55 spin doctors on the public payroll - yet the SNP seem to prefer government by a close-knit 'wee gang'.
