ALEX Salmond’s assertion that there are a lot of “planks of wood” in the Cabinet should auger well for Brexit negotiations.

Theresa May will obviously have the resources to hand to build bridges to the EU.

IT is hilarious to note that Alex Salmond has criticised Theresa May for the way she runs the UK Government.

His personal insults directed towards her and her Cabinet are not the kind of behaviour we expect from elected representatives, but they are very certainly the kind of display we have come to expect from Mr Salmond and some of the less able, immature and poorer quality MPs that the SNP has in Westminster.

His bloated and quite ludicrous ego insists that, unless Mrs May sits up, pays attention and does Ms Sturgeon’s bidding, there will be another “independence” referendum. One has to wonder if Mr Salmond has paid as much attention to the recent draft legislation as he did to his own bete-noir, the failed and ridiculous White Paper. Ms Sturgeon’s draft acknowledges any future referendum solely relies on Westminster’s approval, like his own previous resoundingly unsuccessful attempt.

In the real world, this is the same Mr Salmond who stepped down from his former position of First Minister because he utterly failed to gain the trust of his own country in his quest to tear Scotland out of the UK, using his fact-free, 650-page book of complete nonsense, the political embarrassment that was his pride and joy.

His boorish, childish, utterly graceless and lecturing braggadocio exemplify nothing more than the demonstrable Napoleon complex of a man who is likely a consummate embarrassment to his own party and is seen by even it as yesterday’s man. It still quite plainly has not recovered from his own conclusive defeat.
