Not Just Any Attention Seeker

I've always liked Willie Rennie - whatever you think of his politics seems to me the former leader of the Scottish Lib Dems is a paid up member of the human race.

So I was surprised to learn today that Willie is not just an attention seeker, but a 'pathetic attention seeker' - according to Scotland's First Minister.

Well Said, Willie Rennie (May 14, 2022)

My goodness, Willie Rennie must have had three Weetabix for breakfast the other day because he certainly let rip and gave SNP ministers what for - and deservedly so!



Politics, Leaders and Sell By Dates (July 13, 2021)


So Willie Rennie is standing down as the leader of the Scottish Lib Dems.

The right decision if you ask me, because some political leaders (eg Margaret Thatcher/Nicola Sturgeon) can get deluded into thinking they are unique and indispensable - and that they should go 'on and on'.

But I think we should go further though and have time limits for MSPs serving in the Scottish Parliament.

Experience is good in some ways, but has to be balanced against the fact some of the buggers have been at Holyrood ever since it opened for business in 1999 - and 22 years is a very long time in politics.

I wonder what possesses a grown man, never mind a highly paid SNP politician, to behave in such a juvenile way?

I mean, it's embarrassing - not even the teeniest bit funny!

 

You Hum It, I'll Play It (May 26, 2021)

I enjoyed this tweet poking fun at the SNP's call for Scotland to enter the Eurovision Song Contest - with a photo of Pete on guitar and Nic on vocals

Reminded me of the old PG Tips advert with the great  punchline, 'You hum it, I'll play it!"

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

Not As Nice As She Looks

Nicola Sturgeon's is gaining a reputation as a nasty bully after her angry response to Ash Regan's resignation over the Scottish Government's support for legislation which will allow men to declare themselves to be women. The Sunday Times reports on   the ugly spin operation that's been underway since Ash Regan decided to stand up for the views of her constituents by opposing Sturgeon's barmy Self-ID bill. Team Sturgeon is well versed in the black arts of spin of course - someone within her inner circle deliberately leaked the highly confidential internal report into allegations of harassment against Alex Salmond to the Daily Record, but the leaker has never been found.   https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/out-of-touch-first-minister-blindsided-by-the-rebel-msps-t63bqtp60 Out-of-touch first minister blindsided by the rebel MSPs By John Boothman - The Sunday Times It has long been a complaint of some SNP MSPs that Nicola Sturgeon does not turn up for internal group m
