Also I suspect she saw an opportunity to lead Scotland to independence as FM. I wouldn't be surprised if she stays on maternity for a bit longer. Humza however still needs to reach out to a large number of pretty disillusioned SNP supporters and may need to upset the Greens along the way. He definitely needs to do something or risk being looked at as weak and being bullied by the greens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash Regan did that and her leadership campaign was dead in the water as a result. Unity is needed now. Humza would do well to build bridges with her and work together to rebuild. keep your friends close and enemies closer and all that….

Looking up to the picture of the queen on one wall and the painting of gallant William on the other wall, listening to flute band music while I thumb through my season book and old programmes of the might teddy bears. that’s your view of the stereotypical world. It’s a bit like saying everyone from Aberdeen works offshore, is mean, and shag sheep! We all know it’s only half of them that do that 😬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aaid Posted March 28 Author Share Posted March 28 That last tweet has just reminded me. I assume that Tartan Tonna got banned for his racist posts at the start of the campaign. It’s says something good that he seemed to have disappeared without comment from anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty much a ceremonial position. I don't think it's even an official government job? They only invented the position to give one of the Lib Dems a job in the coalition.

TDYER63 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 8 hours ago, aaid said: That’s not really a good comparison. Truss was the choice of the members but not the parliamentary party. Humza is the choice of the members - albeit a narrow majority - and the parliamentary party. Truss implemented a reckless and radical set of policies that in some cases were a complete 180 from the manifesto they’d been elected on, Humza, by all accounts, is the continuity candidate. He might ultimately make an arse of it but if you’re holding out for some rapid turnaround and Kate Forbes riding into save the day, you’ll be waiting along time. There are very few good comparisons at this level. This is the closest I can get in as much as I think it will be a short tenure and Forbes voted in to steady things. Time will tell who is right. FWIW I hope it doesn’t come to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
