    Swinney definitely isn’t Salmond!
    With a collapsing vote like that, they should exit stage left at the next HR election – hopefully never to return…

      The band should start rehearsing.

      Does the Laurel & Hardy theme have a name, other than the “Laurel & Hardy Theme”?

      They’ll have to order the score.

    I don’t know about anyone else but can you imagine JS running a country what a freighting thought, thank god the Scotland office is running Scotland.

    He’s in the same league as Starmer they both have no appeal and are totally boring.

    I can’t wait for next month when he meets Starmer and tells the faithful Independence has to wait until England elects a new PM.

    When it comes to failing JS is contestant. I once wet Salmond and I got the impression he thought JS was a tit, he knew his stuff did Alex.
