    The man has spent a carer of making gaffs. The SNP thought he was a ally. Here the a true fact the SNP wanted the Labour party to support them on all issues other than Independence, the SNP only objective was to remain in power and now he’s gone Swinney will be upset rather than be joyful.

    The SNP just doesn’t seem to understand and neither do their supporters than TIME is running out for both the SNP and Scotland and who’s to blame the SNP.

    To be honest if the man forced to tell the truth when asked, are you Scottish his reply would be Naw so your not Scottish so are you British and once again his reply would be naw, he seen an opportunity of making a living from politics and he’s only done what the SNP is doing crewing us all over.

    I actually believe the UKG/PM is send the clearest message yet to Scotland and the SNP if anyone has been listening, one country one people come on how pain can Burnham be.

    Yet the very first act of Swinney wasn’t to ask for a section 30 order because he’s already given up on that, his first act was to ask for more powers.
