fleetness just concentrated on slagging off an opponent, rather than engaging in reasoned arguments. When was the last time Sturgeon met her constituents in Govanhill?
hedging bets You have to laugh, the outof-touch Unionists have made merry that Bojo will put Nicola in her box and shut down the “shortbread senate”. Fast forward to reality, and Bojo leaves Bute House by the back door, whilst running from Nicola’s offer to have a live TV debate.
Edinman I think you’ll find departing from the rear of Bute House is police practice: it avoids inconveniencing the general public passing the front of the house.

“I’m slightly surprised that he didn’t have the chutzpah or the guts to go and meet people in Scotland,” says the person who only seems to meet schoolkids.

Overnight they can find a billion quid to waste on something that the UK population doesn’t want but have spent the last 10 years starving all public services of desperately needed cash. Brilliant. Well done Tories.
