SNP Bad

After claiming it was a 'two-horse' race between Reform and the SNP John Swinney's is the one with egg all over his face after the Hamilton by-election.

Swinney's list of excuses were predictable and pathetic:

1) We did well
2) I've done well (as SNP leader) 
3) Westminster
4) Brexit
5) Infamy, infamy!

The SNP leader said:

“Katy Loudon fought a superb SNP campaign, and clearly I am disappointed that we did not win tonight.

"Labour won by an absolute landslide in this area less than a year ago - we came much closer tonight but the people of Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse have made clear that we still have work to do. 

"Over the next few days we will take time to consider the result fully. “When I became leader of the SNP last year I made clear my intention to bring the party together and focus more than ever on standing up for the people of Scotland. 

 "During this campaign we heard a lot of anger about the cost of living - and it is clearer than ever that Westminster control is making Scotland poorer, whether that is the damage of Brexit, the hike in energy bills or the betrayal on the winter fuel payment."

No wonder the SNP vote share fell by 17 points.

The River Cottage chef has a some imaginative ideas for adding seagulls to the national diet - including a recipe for Kentucky Fried Seagull - would you believe. Here's what HFW has to say on the subjecy -  I think I'll contact Hugh - and ask if he'll join the TAPAS campaign. "Vermin with wings? Chicken of the sea? Or just an opportunity missed?" "First and foremost, before we all go on a mad seagull killing frenzy. In the U.K it is against the law to kill seagulls or interfere with their nests under the countryside and wildlife act. Some Councils are allowed to cull them however, and usually do this by either poisoning or shooting them. How to catch your seagull. Remember this is against the law in the U.K. I don't want the Men in Blue knocking at the door because someone said that Foodimum told them it was okay to catch and eat seagulls. It isn...
