The Scottish Greens have been goaded into contesting the by-election in Rutherglen and Hamilton West - despite not standing a candidate in the constituency in 2019, 2017 or 2015.
Lorna Slater says the party is standing now because of the acute climate crisis, but this won't impress voters since global warming is not exactly a recent phenomenon.
I suspect all the rain Scotland has enjoyed this summer won't help either!
