That's what I like...of all the times for this to come out.
Are the Tories TRYING to lose the election?
Not that I'm complaining.

Be interesting to see if this comes up during the Leader's Debate this evening - seems like an open goal for the SNP, since Dross isn't much of a goalie.

Exactly.
I know this procedure is part of the devolution settlement, but this is about the worst time to announce it.
A gift for the SNP and, indeed, Labour.

Would imagine that it will be the number one mission of Sturgeon to get it raised.

Yeah, if Sarwar plays this neatly then he could get some benefit out of it.
