Of note is the last paragraph...."It has been reported that former SNP MP Tasmina Ahmed-Sheikh, who also lost her seat in the election, will be one of the producers of the show."
I'm not inferring anything, but these 2 always seem to cross paths a lot, even outside the former day job
Another tax write-off scheme no doubt. Salmond's main interests in the bold Tasmina are purely financial and always have been - the only person Salmond could ever be amorously involved with is himself. Her short-lived role in the SNP was a reward for her setting up his fake charity and media company.I'm not inferring anything, but these 2 always seem to cross paths a lot, even outside the former day job

Professor Graeme Roy, Director of the Fraser of Allander Institute, said the statistics were “remarkable.
“Scotland’s unemployment rate has fallen to a record low of 3.8 per cent There are now just over 100,000 people unemployed in Scotland – a fall of around 50 per cent in the last four years. Such numbers are all the more remarkable given the sluggish performance of the Scottish economy over the past couple of years.
“However, some care still needs to be exercised when interpreting the sharp fall in unemployment just on its own. Over the last year, whilst unemployment in the 16-64 age group fell by 45,000, this was nearly matched by the 40,000 increase in the number of people classified as being inactive – that is they are either not in-work or actively seeking work. The definition of inactivity includes a broad spectrum of individuals, from students through to people unable to work for health reasons and those who have given up looking for work.“

Amazing how the SNP bods will talk about Brexit being damaging and it causing unnecessary uncertainty and the like but their pet project? Nah, hasn't made one iota of difference, honest
