I think the ongoing 'ferries fiasco' party political stories being published by the unionist media is an odd strategy. What's the argument - vote Tory/Labour because they're better engineers and their MSPs will be down there with a spanner and torque wrench?

Pat McFadden is asked, how much cash is Peter Mandelson getting after being sacked as ambassador. He says thats a matter between Mandelson & the foreign office.

If not, why not......
Surely our own security services must have known what was going on or are they incompetent.

Latest figures out today show Scotland’s unemployment rate fell to 3.7%, and is below the UK rate of 5.1%.
If Scotland can do this with limited economic powers, imagine what more we could do if we had the full powers of independence.
