We saw last week at First Ministers questions Wendy Alexander quoting her new press guy, Simon Pia, in his criticism of Alex Salmond from when he was a diarist. Aside from the comments that were attributed to him in reference to his new boss Wendy I thought little of it, I mean why not quote your brand new first choice spin doctor eh? Well…this is where it gets interesting.
I got a wee tip off from a very good source this morning of a wee tale from someone previously in Labour. It seems that Simon Pia wasn’t in fact first choice for the gig of Wendy’s press guru, heck he wasn’t even second choice as that former business editor of a national newspaper wouldn’t touch the job with a bargepole. The man Wendy likes to quote willy-nilly, despite his previous criticisms of her, grupenfhurer anyone?, was in fact third choice.
Shows how much of a struggle it is Wendy to hire staff.

Simon's got himself a nice little number. She can't lose him and if he wants to go they'll have to up the money to keep him.
I might go for Vanessa's job in that case. Or Tony's Or the one Kerron was meant to get.
And they're not even pressing charges...
