At the covid enquiry they should hook them all up to an electric shock machine linked to a polygraph...this might zap some truths out them.

Interesting article which proposes that Useless is pursuing policies intended to get him well placed for any leadership challenge after the SNP get cuffed in the UK general election. In the process throwing a few of the current SNP Westminster cohort under the bus.
"By bringing conversion therapy to the fore, Yousaf is therefore placing down a clear ideological marker between him and Forbes in the hope of galvanising the SNP members who backed him previously. Revealingly, when the proposed ban on conversion therapy was announced last week, it was suggested legislation would not be brought forward this year, meaning it will be very much a live issue in any post-General Election SNP leadership."

Bring it on. I opined at the end of the last iteration that there was a chance the SNP could win another term with Kate Forbes at the helm and a pledge to reverse Humza/Robison's tax increases thus stealing Labour's thunder."By bringing conversion therapy to the fore, Yousaf is therefore placing down a clear ideological marker between him and Forbes in the hope of galvanising the SNP members who backed him previously.

Yousless trying to stay in place after a GE kicking by turning inward and appealing to factions within the party is straight out of the Conservative leadership suicide play-book.
te, I'll see you in the bar at Edinburgh Airport for our flight to Malaga at 5am. 
In The Times. Jackie Baillie has cancelled her planned retirement as an MSP in 2026. She told Anas Sarwar she would stay on if there was a chance of Labour being the next Holyrood govt.
And in The Herald - developer blames SNP rent controls for cancelling new homes for rent project.

And again in The Times - The editorial discusses Sturgeon's delition of messages.
"When the first hand evidence that might have cast light on life and death decisions has been destroyed, we are in the realms of autocracy."
Well quite. We have been saying that here for a long time. The media are still just waking up to Sturgeon's govt. For some reason the UK media gave her an pass. They didn't even have the excuse of the SCottish media that the SNP and cyber loons would make their life difficult for criticising Saint Nicola.

I’m not sure they are. Contrast the front page of the national rags https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-the-papers-680385... with the Scottish ones https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cn0q8ye26pvo"When the first hand evidence that might have cast light on life and death decisions has been destroyed, we are in the realms of autocracy."

The Telegraph is the only national one giving any coverage at all and you won’t find anything on the BBC website outside the Scottish section. There’s still more interest in Boris’s birthday cake than in what this has shown. If you were to substitute Sturgeon, Swinney and Leitch for Jonson, Hancock and Whitty, then the outcry would make the post office drama reaction seem like nothing but because it’s Scotland no-one is bothered.
Sadly I suspect this won’t result in the outcome that we all know it should.

It's a whitewash. I had an elderly aunt who died of Covid. She was in a nursing home because of dementia with Lewy Bodies - that's a type of dementia with the added complication of similar symptoms to Parkinsons, poor balance, etc. As I had Power of Attorney the nursing home kept me well imformed of how she was. When she had a fall - not uncommon - the home would phone me to let me know. They did their absolute best to keep her in the home so as not to risk her being exposed to Covid.As case in point - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oc-Fe3c45g4&ab...
Unfortunately, she had a bad fall and the home phoned me to advise me that the doctor advised an MRI scan. She was admitted to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow. Within a week she was dead of Covid.
Following a couple of letters I was phoned by the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service to give my account of events. Unfortunately, this did not toe the party line. I had no criticism whatsover of the nursing home, but a lot to say about Greater Glasgow and Clyde Health Board, none of it good.
Unsurprisingly, I have never heard from them again!
