Londonwell Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 (edited) Kevin Pringle is an extremely impressive appointment from Humza Yousaf. Pray that there may now be a semblance of competency every now and again if Pringle is allowed to pull the strings.

Trogdor Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Surprised at this appointment tbh. Hopefully a sign that Humza is happy to break with Sturgeon and her inner circle and be his own man. It's the only chance he has of surviving in my opinion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bennett Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Humza is a bigger jinx than Random Guy. This morning Humza Yousaf, told the BBC Nicola Sturgeon was “in a good place and doing well”, adding he welcomed advice from "one of the best politicians, the most impressive politicians, Europe has seen over the last couple of decades". Three hours later she's been arrested 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KirkieRR Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 I thought he struggled. There were much better answers he could have given. Kuenssberg certainly didn't give him a hard time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three hours later she's been arrested Its a bit lazy. NS was in for a prearranged police interview under caution. Even if HY knew about it (entirely feasible) he cant say anything about the arrest on national tv ahead of it happening otherwise he would end up on a CoC charge himself. Journalists should know this and not suggest that the police just turned up and stuck the cuffs on..............

The prearranged patter makes me laugh, it keeps getting used to take the edge of. Having to be interviewed by the police under caution is not something I've ever had to arrange. It's not something anyone would want to have to arrange tbf. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotiaNostra Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 (edited) The scotgov, got the look of the wheels starting to come off now. The wobble has started. Yousaf is looking weak with his handling of the Murrel/Sturgeon fiasco. Slater is daily in the news giving car crash answers. The other green guy is missing in action as usual. Theres no focus it seems on issues that actually matter now. Its going off the road without some strong leadership and actions.

They should just have told stakeholders how the data was going to be published rather than pre-engagement as that was only ever going to delay things. Not sure if there was a specific requirement for the outputs consultation, there may well have been. That said I am a stakeholder in this sort of data and did respond so can't really complain !!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
