Meanwhile .. Does anyone think she can be this fucking stupid after three years of wasted energy ? Exclusive:Nicola Sturgeon warns of 'push back' on women's rights and misogyny 'on the rise again' Former first minister Nicola Sturgeon speaks out at launch of Val McDermid’s ‘Queen Macbeth’ book

Flynn will only swan up if he loses his seat at the GE - which is unlikely The SNP may not take a hammering at the GE on a Swinney/Forbes ticket - not enough to cause another leadership election It's all up in the air

All depends what post he offers her I doubt she will accept anything less than Finance Secretary and Deputy FM

Did anyone else notice it is only the Rangers goalscorers that get their full names listed ? They were able to get away with the bias then as there were no phone ins or Tambs

There was evidence of clear bias the last time What about this leadership election ?

All relates to the early 2000s when Swinney was in charge Former SNP MP Campbell Martin wrote a book about it Basically a gradualist/devolutionist and the opposite of the left of centre that he mentioned today

Behind a paywall

Should listen to what Lloyd Quinan says about him

Looks like Forbes will only be releasing a statement rather than making a personal appearance Disappointing especially on the day Christian passes away aged 80

There will be nothing much left of the SNP to salvage anytime soon

Looks like a grubby deal between Swinney and Forbes Silly girl She will be making a statement later

Even to a complete neutral the optics of John Swinney running for SNP leader again must be hilarious Nearly as hilarious as the high echelons of the SNP insisting that he is elected as SNP leader and is the "only one" for the job Surely to fuck with the almost all partisan "journalists" that will be at his press conference there must be one that can easily sink his "campaigh" there and then "What will be different from the last time you were leader John" "What is different from 13 months ago when you admitted you being SNP leader again would be in so many words a disaster" "You are up to your neck in the finances and membership numbers scandal, not to mention the plot to jail Alex Salmond - do you think this continuity will be any good for the SNP" "You think anal sex, porn and transgender self ID should be taught to primary children"
