    An alternative view would be that he offered to listen to other solutions from the third party of the parliament. None was forthcoming though.
    You must have missed Jackie Baillie's q on Hospice's, she offered a solution which was to provide the exta funding the sector has repeatedly requested.

    Did she say what she would cut?

    I missed it today but come on. Your surely not suggesting that Yousaf is worse than Sarwar for sound bites? Especially ones that don’t even cut through? Mr ‘not interested in leave or remain, yes or no’ or his latest ‘lame duck FM’. Sarwar is an empty vessel. We’ll have to wait a bit longer to find out if Yousaf is but it’s not even close between the two of them.

    The empty vessels Yousaf should be concerning himself with are the ferries which are sitting either unfinished (years after their 'launch' with painted-on windows) or out of use.

    Lame duck FM is a decent enough sound bite as it's accurate. He's been left trying to claw his way out of a bomb crater by his predecessors.

    And she will also have said where these additional funds should come from? Labour are great at that, spend more money!!! But are happy to forget that Scotland unlike Westminster cannot borrow money. So usually its all about transferring money from one place to another, so someone loses while others win.

    That's not her job to allocate funds. In the leadership contest did KF say what she was going to cut in order to finally pay social carer's £15p/h, when previously they didn't have enough funding when she was Finance Sec?

    So she didn't offer a solution then, she just said spend more money. I want Hibs to win the league so they should spend more money on players. Nae idea where that money should come from but just spend more money. And don't forget Hibs in this scenario can't borrow any money!!

    Actually in the Scottish Parliament if you have a budget proposal you have to say where you would cut.

    What did KF propose to cut? She was announcing a new policy on a ticket to get elected to head the SG.

    I hate PMQs and FMQs. Both pointless. PMQs is little more than theatrical insults dressed up as questions - or in the case of the SNP a chance to not even bother with a question, just make a mini speech about independence.

    FMQs used to consist primarily of Sturgeon responding to pretty much any question with a variation of 'I won't be spoken to like that by a Tory/Labour/Lib Dem nonentity'. I'd imagine that as the continuity FM Yousaf will try to do similar.
    In saying all that, this clip of Fergus Ewing putting the boot into the Greens did catch my eye:

    I don't think the limited time the opposition get to ask q's is the right place to help identify solutions imo. Is that not what the cross party parliamentary commitees are meant to do?

    Yousaf has only deployed that phrase because the police action involves the SNP hierarchy (ie those who pulled out all the stops to get him elected). It didn't apply previously to less high profile colleagues. Michelle Thomson wasn't even arrested but was immediately suspended for being investigated by the police.

    He's too scared to suspend them in case Sturgeon gets arrested.
    Thomson was suspended 7 years ago, and theres some ambiguity around whether she withdrew or was forcibly suspended.

    As I say, as a former member and someone who is currently "in the huff", I'm hanging fire until investigations are completed.

    So basically another soundbite from Baillie? She is a total ambulance chaser. Wherever there is a sick kid or a delayed operation she is there and isn't afraid to give out children's names etc in public either. I have no time for her whatsoever. Complete chancer who was all over congratulating the Glagow council women when they won their case, completely ignoring what Labour had done to them over the years.

    There are politicians from all parties, not so many Tories mind, that I like but she is definitely not on the list

    I doubt the parent of any sick child she is speaking on behalf of would share your opinion, suspect she would also need their consent to name them publicly. I think Labour have acknowledged how badly they handled the Glasgow council pay saga, it was a disgrace, they're not denying they got it wrong. I couldn't disagree more, think all parties have some good politicians, she's a stand out in how well prepared she is with detail during debates. Next to NS I would have said she's easily the best politician in Scotland.

    Property of the SNP so won’t be sold by the Police 😀 but it’s not a motorhome it’s a battlebus

    They should be giving their members in the island communities a free week's hol in that on the mainland, to give them some respite from fretting about essential travel woes.

    Yep, still not completed. Six years behind schedule and counting...as well as quadrupling in price.

    Like yourself, I haven't actively followed this story at all tbh (or politics more generally, since the Supreme Court farce before Xmas)

    There may well be some wrong-doing within the SNP, however - I struggle to believe anyone can honestly say this isn't primarily a smear campaign in a desperate bid to derail independence, I mean the media coverage has been off the charts !!

    As you've correctly detailed, arguably the most corrupt English government ever have done worse for years now, with far less media scrutiny and outrage

    Sad state of affairs all round, but I guess this is just what happens when the press are firmly in the pockets of the nasty party
    It's because folk have actively followed this story. You've not, but have somehow decided it's a smear campaign!

    Have a read through the thread and some of the articles that have been posted. It's pretty hard to think anything other than this is a mess the SNP created all by themselves.

    Just back from walking my dog and bumped into a guy I know, I am unsure if he is an SNP member but he does wear a lot of SNP badges, he assures me that this is all an MI5 campaign to damage Sturgeon and Murrell, the SNP have millions in the bank and the motorhome/battlebus was planted on Murrell’s mums drive. The really sad thing is he genuinely believes it.

    Not sure they are allowed to do that, unless it's obstructing them from doing their job.

    I also noticed the polis that were taking the teabags and cheesy pasta evidence yesterday weren't wearing warrant numbers, fairly sure uniformed police have to display those. Screenshot_2023-04-20-17-04-05-02_0b2fce7a16bf2b728d6ffa28c8d60efb.jpg

    Interesting. One of your fellow travellers bigged up some recently-published hospital rankings last night but it turns out that the best hospital in Scotland is only the 26th best in the UK.

    That's not a cause for celebration or one-upmanship, it just makes your oft-repeated proclamations on this matter seem rather hollow.
