People are laughing at the idea of Burnham running in either the Aberdeen or Dundee by-elections (triggered by Scottish results) but what if he simply switched to SNP? 1) join SNP 2) win seat (either is fine) 3) switch back to Labour 4) become PM This is what 4D chess looks like - make me a spad.

15 minutes; no questions; government got the blame; my department to have 60% of us sacked. Apparently sacking us will lead to a ‘new, improved’ curriculum. No voluntary scheme, straight to selection and legal minimum redundancy payment.

Why? Reform of Council tax like any other legislative reform simply requires a parliamentary majority. MSPs don’t all “work together” to agree other policy measures. Why is this one so special? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
