She gets the smallest possible portfolio - economy and gaelic (really!!), not sure what economy even covers that the finance secretary doesn't already have.

Regardless of whether folk felt it was achieving anything or not , or that it didn’t previously exist, this to me is a real kick in the teeth at this time . Independence is what the SNP are supposed to exist for. Unless there is a good reason for it , this will be the final nail in the coffin for me.

They should be trying to get independence into every discussion that they have. Just simple things like "This is what we are going to do but, of course, if Scotland was independent we could have more choices." There must be enough independence minded folk who are disillusioned with the SNP to be able to form another Independence Party. I vote for Tidy as leader.

Ideally, Constance, Hyslop, Robison and Sommerville need binned; they've all had their shot at front bench jobs and have been, at best, thoroughly mediocre at them all. However, after Humza did his impersonation of a blindfolded bull in a china shop with roller skates strapped to its hooves the other week, HJ is probably trying to avoid any more unnecessary disruption or upset (Robison, in particular, permanently looks like someone on the verge of bursting into tears). It is very underwhelming though, I agree. 6 hours ago, TDYER63 said: Minister for independence role has been scrapped.

Independence is what the SNP are supposed to exist for. Unless there is a good reason for it , this will be the final nail in the coffin for me. That stood out for me as well. It is questionable what good Jamie Hepburn was actually doing, but scrapping the role of Independence Minister when you are a pro-independence government looks a bit like a white flag being waved. 17 hours ago, Ally Bongo said: Considering the media nearly destroyed her a year ago and twisted her words she did the right thing Give them fuck all Quite right. Whatever she said would have just fanned the flames of that ridiculous smear and kept it going even longer. Don't give the crybullies what they are looking for.

Ally Bongo Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Greens attack Kate Forbes at Swinney's first FMQs He said: “Yesterday that signal came pretty clearly - progressive ministers sacked, and the second most powerful job in government given to someone who has opposed LGBT people’s legal equality, who has expressed judgemental attitudes against abortion, and who has even expressed the view that people who have families without being married are doing something wrong.” He asked: “Is this the Scottish government’s vision for the future of Scotland - taking us back to the repressive values of the 1950s?” The cunt sat beside Forbes when she was Finance Minister and said fuck all back then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
