Dirty Deals and the SNP
The reason Humza Yousaf is unable to distance himself from Nicola Sturgeon/Peter Murrell and stamp his authority on the party is that he owes everything to the 'old guard' of the SNP.
How else was Glasgow based Humza allowed to shift his base from one side of Scotland to another - when any fool could tell you it's not possible to represent the citizens of Glasgow Pollok effectively while living in Broughty Ferry, on the outskirts of Dundee.
SNP - Making a Mockery of Local Democracy (June 05, 2023)
A kind reader (@WobbleyBØB) sent me this map which highlights the impossibility of Humza Yousaf representing the good citizens of Glasgow Pollok properly while living on the other side of Scotland - in Broughty Ferry on the outskirts of Dundee.
Clearly the SNP and Yousaf are having a laugh because this arrangement makes a mockery of 'local' democracy and is insulting to voters in Glasgow.
Humza Yousaf - Making A Mockery Of Local Democracy (February 19, 2023)
It's a long way to go.
It's a long way to Broughty Ferry
To the sweetest girl I know!
Goodbye Crookston Castle
Farewell to George Square!
It's a long long way to Broughty Ferry
But my heart's right there.
Is Humza Having A Laugh? (February 19, 2023)
Humza Yousaf has about as much chance of becoming Scotland's next First Minister as I have of playing centre forward for the national football team.
To my mind there's something very wrong with Humza's judgement not least because he lives in Broughty Ferry on the east coast of Scotland while claiming to represent the citizens of Pollok on the south west side of Glasgow - a 200 mile, 4 hour round trip.
