Shortly before the Glenrothes by-election, David Cameron good-naturedly told a dinner of Conservative MPs that David Mundell, the shadow Scottish Secretary, had been canvassing there and had found a Tory voter. "I'm flying up tomorrow to see if I can find the other," he added, to general merriment. Had the Conservatives lost their deposit in a by-election in England, it would be front-page news; but,...

But it does amaze me that people constantly believe the argument without seeing the blatant inconsistency.

I'll be interested to hear what the Conservatives have to say about Scotland. I see the irascible Holyrood commentator Alan Cochrane is on the panel at a fringe debate tonight with Ian Dale and David Mundell MP discussing the future of the Union under a Conservative government.

The desire to write to them was really triggered by David Cairns MP and Wendy Alexander MSP being less than complimentary about those who might wish to [...]

Many thanks to David, and Pete Alexander for making the Malt and Barley Revue gigs happen...

1. Never break out in a chorus of the 80s' hit 'Don't Mess With my Hutu' 2. You're damned if you do, and damned if you don't 3. David Mundell's taste in shirts is similar to my taste in ties 4. I can exist without email on my Blackberry 5. Rwandan women are the best dressed in the world 6. France has a lot to answer for over the genocide 7. It feels safer in Kigali than in parts of London 8. No one...
