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.

Even the Greens can see this is worth investigating. Keep the millions spent on weed in Scotland out of the gangsters' hands, have a regulated and taxed product only available to adults.....just like alcohol.

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...

Pilgrimage is vital in my view. A trip to the dark side of the moon could be a pilgrimage. But it's only open to a handful of people, and I doubt the experience could ever be shared with us, back here on Earth. Even medieval peasants had the right to walk to Canterbury or St Andrews. Do we?

We need a "working class history month". Remind people just where so many of our hard-fought rights come from and why those in power are so hell-bent on convincing so many people that minorities are the problem.
