Slapped Down (25/05/16)

If you ask me, the First Minister Nicola Sturgeon is doing a fine job of slapping down the old guard in the SNP.

In recent weeks, she has been badly let down by three previously 'safe' pairs of hands:

Stewart Hosie - deputy SNP leader (and wife of her best friend Shona Robison) who has a tawdry affair with woman journalist down in Westminster. 

Alex Salmond - the former SNP leader and first minister who seems intent on inventing some roving ambassadorial role for himself in despotic countries like Iran. 

Kenny MacAskill - the former justice secretary who published a book soon after leaving office making wild claims about Abdelbaset Al Megrahi (the Libyan bomber) which never surfaced while he was in office.




SNP ministers dismiss Alex Salmond's call for 'Scotland week' in Iran


By Daniel Sanderson - The Herald

ALEX Salmond privately lobbied ministers to set up a ‘Scotland Week’ in Iran as part of his drive to build cultural and trade links with the Islamic republic.

The former First Minister, who led an SNP delegation to Tehran in December, also pushed for a trade office to be established in the country as part of a bilateral agreement that would have seen Iran open a similar base in Scotland.

However, the former SNP leader’s requests were rebuffed by the Government he led just 18 months ago, which said it had ‘no plans’ to establish a permanent presence in Iran or to initiate a Scotland Week there.
