'Honest John', Leaders and Bananas
And MSPs have backed booting out Mr Matheson by 64 votes to 0, with 63 abstaining - understood to be the SNP. https://t.co/O7qlUjB0wQ

Scotland's MSPs kicked Michael Matheson out of Holyrood by 64 votes to 0 - but the parliament's 63 SNP members sat on their hands and refused to vote.
Astonishingly SNP leader John Swinney failed to suggest any other punishment short of the 27 day suspension and 54 day loss of salary recommended by the Scottish Parliament's standards committee.
If Swinney's a leader, then I'm a banana!
