I think the question those seeking to remove a 'lame duck' first minister need to answer is, why did we elect a duck as first minister in the first place? Even an active duck would be difficult. Think of what cabinet would be like.

The Greens are out of Grovernment. How will they approach Gropposition? With FMQs today, we may soon find grout.

The end of the Grinisters, and hopefully a chance for everyone to stop using that word. I've always opposed it, though I accept its use is so widespread there's little I can do about it. Farewell Grinisters.

Can someone please inform Craig Bellamy that his three-year-old daughter is correct and rainbows do in fact, exist.

Another weird thing about teething, to follow my very interesting points yesterday about teething (you'll have realised this is now an account solely dedicated to the concept, theory & practicalities of teeth): it's weird the baby was born with no teeth but did have finger nails.

"But society is as poorly served by those who seek to dismiss the consequence of hate – lawful or otherwise – as nothing more than 'hurt feelings', or who amplify it in pursuit of their own agenda." My @heraldscotland column on the Hate Crime Act. heraldscotland.com/politics/viewp…
