Why should they be shamed for not giving up their pay rise? It's a token gesture anyway, they don't vote for their own pay. I disagree with the pay rise but members should not be shamed for maximising their worth while they can. Politics can be as short a career as football as people like Pamela Nash and Tom Greatrex found out recently.

Nobody said they should, but it seems bizarre that the so called "champions of the poor" are missing from the list. I thought they were meant to be looking after the underdog. Seems not, snouts in the trough, blaming the English and filling their boots seems to be the Nat way.

Where have they "blamed the English"? I'm pretty sure that the majority of blame going around is the regionalist claims that the SNP are responsible for everything from car accidents to the bombing of Pearl Harbour.

ALL the SNP MPs have given their pay rises to charity.

What a shambling mess this Glen Sannox boy truly is!

:lol:

Alistair Carmichael revealed he is putting the money towards office costs

Would this be the office costs of his legal representation by chance. :whistle

@britainelects: Huntly, Strathbogie & Howe of Alford (Aberdeenshire) result:

CON: 36.3% (+9.8)

SNP: 35.4% (+0.7)

LD: 22.9% (+4.7)

LAB: 4.8% (+4.8)

LBT: 0.5%

2 seats up for grabs and so Tories gain from Lib Dems whilst the SNP hold their seat. Good effort from the Tories to top the vote though. Makes you wonder if Kezia Dugdale may regret laughing off the fact that they might finish behind the Tories in May. Tories have been performing well in these elections recently.

Tory fairmers.

Looking into it a bit much as Labour are tiny in Aberdeenshire and have about two councillors in a cooncil of over 60 seats. Interesting to see if the Lib Dem vote holds up in the North-East on a regional level though, would imagine the Tories would benefit from that the most.

Also, the idea of the Tories finishing above Labour sounds ludicrous, even if they are on a downturn under Dugdale.

Not yet, but she's being unleashed on Question Time next week to pontificate without interruption of the evil SNP, and to encourage viewers to "just go and Google" the spurious, SNP-bashing "facts" with which she'll be armed.

Just catching up on a few pages if this thread.

How'd that work out for Kez?!

Genuinely funny. Her long, populist, rehearsed speech aimed at winning people to Labour was met with complete silence. No one even coughed.

It's on YouTube, I think.
