Humza’s self belief has always outweighed his actual ability in post and we’re seeing this now at its most detrimental to the SNP. Sad. They had more potential than this but chose to focus on chastisement of swathes of the Scottish public instead. Too many independence supporters are now fed up of what they see as SNP vanity projects in place of real pursuit of independence.

At heart, we seem to be a tribal, sectarian people who waste precious time and energy constantly feuding instead of working to make our lives better. Meanwhile, our NHS is on its knees, our once-proud education system is going down the toilet, and the drug death problem worsens daily. Seventeen years in office, and the party in power have achieved precisely nothing. Instead, they use the executive to draft laws that openly attack the people they are supposed to be working for (the "secterian singing" law; the "named persons" scheme; the latest "hate speech" legislation). The party in charge are dangerous authoritarian ideologues and need to be voted out as soon as possible.
