You know, there's something really dark as well about a deeply middle class Edinburgher accusing a Highlander who lived on her own from when she was 16 of having no life experience.
A little under a year ago, in a column, I mentioned an MP who had the fourth biggest swing against her of the SNP's 48 MPs but blamed Nicola Sturgeon instead.
Rather than spare herself the blushes, Cherry outed herself and accused me of some kind of underhanded attack on her.
She's an idiot.

Today, the Covid Inquiry heard that the government instructed PPE suppliers to prioritise English NHS settings over Scotland.
Just as shocking, the government withdrew embassy support from Scottish government officials negotiating PPE deals in foreign countries.

![A graphic of First Minister of Scotland, John Swinney SNP MSP, when he attended Edinburgh Pride 2024 - as part of the End Conversion Practices bloc.
The text above includes highlighted sections of his quotes about why he backed the Gender Recognition Reform (Scotland) Bill, which sought to simplify the process of obtaining a GRC.
The bottom left includes the logo for Out For Independence, the LGBTQIA+ affiliate wing of the SNP.
The text reads:
“I do not regret my support from the gender recognition reform bill”
“[The Bill] was to try and improve the circumstances of a very small minority in our country, in the trans community, and to make life a bit easier for them.
That was the purpose of the legislation, and that was why I was happy to support it.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:creqjmh3pvjg5f7f6n23ys76/bafkreic2cqsinqg3k6spigfmyvja6ipahnonizzzssrxswsi57ldz33kse@jpeg)
