But more the SNP surely, John?

Well no, but I think it's reasonable if we are to call out a failed process it's also fair to call out the Scottish Government had the ability to take over this process and completely overhaul it but has failed to do so, and has asked the failing department on this case to keep administering the payments even longer.

Presumably they weren't ready. Which may be a major failing on their part (I don't know) but I'd much rather they prepare properly and take over with a fully functioning system than take over with something half-arsed that leaves recipients suffering in the meantime.

Your right, it has been a major failing on their part as they have had reasonable time to implement their own welfare system but were not ready.

No, I stick to estimating crowds for my internationally renowned expertise.
