THE best bit of Scottish Labour's manifesto launch was Kezia Dugdale’s Q&A. After the standard jeering when the press raised Jeremy Corbyn and the IRA, the biggest groan went to fawning Glenrothes candidate Altany Craik, who drooled: “What things in the manifesto will make a difference to people’s lives?” Even Ms Dugdale said “wow” at that.

WITH the LibDems stuck in the polls, Unspun suspects Willie Rennie is now courting disaster to get noticed. A proven pig aphrodisiac and the victim of a recent ram attack, the LibDem leader today dares yet another animal photo op by “taking some alpacas for a walk”. No doubt he hopes a good trampling will get him on the news at six. Fingers crossed.

You’d think a press officer would phrase that differently.
