A reminder of just how slippery politicians can be with former SNP minister Derek Mackay trying to absolve himself and the Scottish Government over ultimate responsibility for Scotland's 'ghost ferries' scandal.
The reality is that these 'chancers' were playing party politics with public money - with Scottish taxpayers picking up the enormous bill for their incompetence.
Regular readers will be aware that Humza Yousaf was Scotland's Minister for Transport and the Islands from May 2016 to June 2018.
