The SNP has decided to disaggregate the BTP!
Of course even in Scotland, it is rumoured that, fine Malts are watered down.Delighted to pass my first Bill with support from Greens. Will make Railway Policing more accountable & draw on wider pool of expertise— Humza Yousaf (@HumzaYousaf) June 27, 2017
So, Sir Brian Souter will be a guest on BBC Question Time tomorrow night.
Expect some fireworks in light of recent House of Commons' business, as in the past Sir Brian has had some clear views on promoting what were once termed 'alternative' lifestyles.
No matter.
Thursday's telefest may be the Wee Man's last high profile public outing, ahem, before he becomes Stagecoach Group's chairman in May, relinquishing the role of chief executive to the now
ubiquitous Martin Griffiths (currently finance director).
Despite Brian's interesting history with matters 'equality' don't expect too much criticism from Humza Yousaf the MSP member of the panel. In the devolved world of Scottish politics Our Brian has proven a generous benefactor to the Scottish National Party over recent years.
No doubt First's Tim O'Toole, which currently holds the ScotRail franchise, will be watching with interest?

Disgraceful behaviour in the Scottish Parliament:
(MSP).....I have almost lost track of the amount of my correspondence on crossrail with the minister and Transport Scotland. Getting an answer from Mr Stevenson in writing is no easier than getting one in the chamber. It seems, on occasion, that he has delegated so much of his portfolio to Transport Scotland that all that is left for him to do is give us bad news and occasionally unveil new paint schemes for the trains.
Mike Rumbles: He has delegated everything. He just tells us what the civil servants want.
The Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Climate Change (Stewart Stevenson): Bollocks.
Alison McInnes: Pardon?
The Presiding Officer: Members should be careful about the language that they use in the chamber.
Quite right too. Pardon is so non-U!
