The Aftermath...

Well, as I guessed, the press have been particularly unkind to Labour this morning, branding them "unfit to be in opposition, never mind to govern." A bit of a shocker, proposing an amendment, seeing that amendment carried then abstaining from voting on the bill it was attached to...

They really are all over the place at the moment, and I hate to say it, but once the Electoral Commission reports back, it may be the best thing for them - finally being able to put the uncertainty over the current leadership behind them and appoint someone with a few more "principles" in charge (Cathy Craigie anyone?!).

Best line on the budget I've heard so far?

"As we enter Lent, it seems Labour MSPs have decided on what to give up for 40 days: Voting."
