Political reboot

The last FMQS before the council elections was delayed after technical difficulties at the parliament. Those in the chamber reported a “weird noise” coming from the government frontbenches – not a reference to ministers themselves, we understand. Murdo Fraser suggested that “over-use of a shredding machine” by the government had caused the electrics to go berserk. Suspiciously a fire alarm went off in the member’s block earlier that day, leading Whollyrude to wonder whether some gremlins were deliberately trying to prevent the session from going ahead at all. Question is, who would have most to gain from FMQS not going ahead? Thankfully for political anoraks everywhere, the light and sound system was given a reboot and everything returned to normal.
