I wonder if there is an actual rule?
Surely this could have been anticipated and there will be something written down in a dusty book in the Holyrood basement?

It’s going to be a bun fight.

Is it based on number of votes? Are constituency votes worth more than list?
And what’s going to happen about who is the opposition? First questions? Where will they sit? Do they change seats every week as though they are taking a weekly maths test and the teacher is moving the desks every Friday?

He changed a lot over the course of the book.

Isn’t it! Complete beginning to end manufacturing. Even the needles. Amazing.
I crammed as much into the notes as possible. If you happen to read 25 Library Terrace, I’ve done the same, but don’t read the Acknowledgements before you read the book because it might spoil it!
Thank you!

Marmite on toast, and binge watching Blue Bloods on Christmas Day is an absolutely acceptable way to spend the 25th, thankfully.
Plus, I have magnificent friends.

I have had flu for a week so haven’t done any Christmas food shopping. A kind friend bought essentials for me yesterday (milk and satsumas). I will happily be eating marmite on toast on Christmas Day, if I can get out of bed by then.
