FMQs

As terrible performances at First Ministers Questions go, today was a new low for Wendy Alexander. As many in the know will know Wendy Alexander, as the leader of the main opposition, is entitled to ask the First Minister three questions. When it came to her third question she started with “I have no further questions” proceeded to rattle on about something but when Salmond stood up to answer the Presiding Officer informed him there was nothing for him to answer.

She may as well have said “there are no other issues in Scotland” – is she that out of touch?Another woeful performance.

Hi STB,

I missed that.

A shocking state of affairs. I really do wish we could find all those who applauded her 'great intellect' during her appointment period and string them up!

The sad thing was that there WAS an obvious final question - which it was left to Murdo Fraser to ask at the end, and to which Alex Salmond had no reply.

The trouble is, that I suspect she (and other Labour MPs) actually thought it went quite well...
