AS expected, Stephen Flynn is the new SNP leader in the HoC - don't know how he will compare to Blackford, but I was mildly irritated by this quote of his:-
>"Families across Scotland are paying a devastating price under Westminster control, with Brexit, austerity cuts and the Tory cost of living crisis hammering household budgets.<
One could be forgiven for thinking that only Scotland is suffering in this way

Thank you for the days, the days you gave me

I'm not surprised. He's still wet behind the ears.

No it was a woman in a trouser suit, maybe she's deputy for Stephen Flynn.   I can't find where I saw it now, typical !

She's Mhairi Black, and that young girl has been on the up in the SNP since she joined. She's too young at the moment but mark my words....She will lead the party one day.
Now there's a younger generation in charge down there, so we should see some changes. Both her and the new Leaders ages don't even add up to Ian Blackfords age. Watch out for fireworks, they will be a whole new kettle of fish.

Is Mel Gibson still not available?
The problem with being retired is that you never get a day off
