Wendy Alexander - Another Mess

Wendy has messed up again. Been found guilty of failing to declare. Its does not seem to be entirely her fault. She asked the relevant Parliamentary clerks what to do and they said no need to declare. An advice from a hotshot QC contradicted that and here we are she is in trouble.

I am not that bothered about it really and wouldn't be if she was my MSP. The problem is that this is one in a long line of mistakes and generally poor leadership. Wendy does not cut it in the media, has hopeless attack lines and no interesting ideas whatsoever to put forward. The Scottish Labour Party is in about as much turmoil as their counterparts South of the border.

I admit she is not helped by having Gordon Brown as PM and her brother in the Cabinet, it takes away from her attempts at authority.

But generally she is not good enough I am afraid. Lucky for her that there is no alternative Scottish Labour Leader. A bit like their is really not much of a Labour alternative to Brown. Trouble up North and trouble down South.
