I'm confused.

On page four of last week's Sunday Herald, Alex Salmond extolled the benefits of currency union with the rest of the UK.

On page 6, you quote John Swinney as saying: "The one-size-fits-all economic policies of successive Westminster governments have failed and continue to fail the people of Scotland."

It appears Alex Salmond and John Swinney are arguing complete opposites. They are all over the place, delivering different messages to different audiences, and with not a shred of credibility left between them.
