It's not often these days I read the Scotsman in detail, mainly because I have no enthusiasm for labour press releases, but this story is interesting: ' Salmond fights to restore faith in banking '. During FMQs recently Alex Salmond (Scotland's First Minister) was chided for not paying enough attention to Scotland's financial sector. The writer of the article clearly doesn't watch FMQs or he would...

So tailor Gray has been giving the inner seam of his party a good feel. Nimble, nicotine-yellow fingerlets moving apparently with purpose, aiming for an ultimate political parp at the next Holyrood election. Brushing off the outfit’s shoulders, smoothing the bunching of responsibilities around the gonady tumescence of Andy Kerr, letting the raptoresque Rhona Brankin return to her family roost...

I'll be honest, if I could have picked the Labour Shadow Cabinet I would have come up with something along the lines of what Iain Gray came up with yesterday. And just to be clear, I mean I would have picked this team with the SNP's interests at heart rather than Labour's. There was certainly something panicked about the way the Iain Gray went about this surprise move. Just yesterday Henry McLeish...

Andy Kerr sent out an email today... I am giving Andrew Romanoff my full support in his race for the United States Senate. For more than a decade, from our days participating in the Young Democrats, to our years serving together in the Colorado House, I have known Andrew Romanoff to be a man of deep conviction, intelligence, and creativity. Time after time, he saw opportunities and solutions, where...

In March 2009, Steven Purcell took his party by surprise on the eve of Labour's Spring Conference by announcing that Glasgow Council staff would have a £7 minimum wage, an increase of 22% for many of them. Later that same month, Purcell called for the Council Tax to be scrapped , putting him at odds with Labour leader in the Scottish Parliament, Iain Gray. Clearly, the leader of Glasgow Council...

'How outraged will the Opposition be?' I asked earlier this morning in anticipation of today's draft budget. 'Extremely' is the clear answer. John Swinney's axing of the Glasgow Airport Rail Link (GARL) went down like a lead balloon, chiefly amongst Labour's west coast ranks. Talks of knives and daggers and corpses was quadrupled with furious finger-pointing from the Labour benches. Andy Kerr had this...

I think most Scots have already worked out that today's draft budget won't have many 'goodies' for us all to look forward to. There will be no contentious giveaways and no 'tartan frills' , even if there is a UK election coming up early next year. My prediction for the budget 2010/11 will be mostly business as usual and a little bit batten down the hatches. Council tax will be frozen and local councils...

According to *Jim Kerr (R) of HD28, women shouldn't be concerned about paying more for health care because they just need to fulfill their natural, God-given instincts to shop around more for better rates. In this interview with Lisa Codispoti of the National Women's Law Center , *Jim Kerr in typical Colorado Republican foot-in-mouth-style, demonstrates his heinous, deep-seated sexism and inability...

Elizabeth Mackenzie and Andy Kerr, were married at Cawdor Church on Sunday 19th July. It was a great day - not too sunny for once :) and a lovely wedding to be part of. Elizabeth got ready at her parents house, which was just beside the church, and this allowed them to walk to the ceremony (despite a lovely Rolls Royce waiting outside!). Elizabeth and Andy then went to nearby Cawdor Castle for their...
