Yousaf - Is No Cabinet-Maker

Humza Yousaf has never had a real job in his life.

Scotland's new First Minister has been in politics since leaving university at the tender age of 21.

The Herald's cartoonist Steven Camley has the measure of a man who has never been a butcher, baker and certainly not a cabinet-maker.

Scotland is now governed by career politicians like Humza and 'bootlickers' in his cabinet who have no track record of achievement - yet are expert at telling the rest of us how to run our lives.   

SNP In Meltdown (March 29, 2023)


So the SNP old guard got its way with the narrowest of  election victories (52 to 48%) to install Humza Yousaf as SNP leader.

Yousaf's first big decision was to sack his closest rival (Kate Forbes) and appoint a fellow Dundonian and close friend of Nicola Sturgeon (Shona Robison) as his deputy.

The Herald's cartoonist Steven Camley has a great take on the events of the past few weeks.

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

What a complete hoot - these hypocrites have no shame! Peter Murrell  @PeterMurrell "Anonymous political donations supposed to be a thing of the past. Yet Scottish Tories pocketed £319,000 from secretive trust with no fixed address or known current trustees. @Conservatives legally responsible for checking true identity of donors before accepting cash. #DarkMoney "

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
