The Pensioner

A day of not at all bad weather. Good enough to lounge and finish Roddy Murray’s Bleak - a book containing many chucklisms.
But sounds from afar! Zounds, indeed. Humza has decided not to wait to see whether the Greens will depart the grandly named Bute House Agreement - by chucking them first. He's now facing a vote for his political survival dependent on the lately departed (to Alba), Ash Regan. Yes, she of the Indy Readiness Thermometer in every town square. Oh lawks. As Crace says - Either Humza is a genius or an idiot. You decide.
But that’s all just the day to day cut and thrust. The longer view suggests that Sturgeon’s transformation of her party from Salmond’s big tent, into one at the leading edge of social justice “progressivism”, may have run its course. There was always a sizeable minority who weren't signed up to her crusade (see Humza/Forbes 52/48 split) but they could be ignored as long as the good times rolled. Same old. Everyone loves a winner.
