I certainly did. Rum and raisin.

Unsure how close it is to there but probably about a 10 minute drive from the Kinross services junction.

As best I know the two different No Confidence motions are still on the cards for being debated this week. HY saying he will resign once a new leader is elected might mean the Tories pull their motion. They probably see their job as being done. Labour's motion, I think, might still go ahead but I can't see the Greens or Alba voting for it as i think that'll likely see the need for an extraordinary general election. Should an EGE take place I think we also need to still have the scheduled Scottish GE in 2026 also (Scotland Act stipulates the 5-year Sessions that we have). I don't believe an EGE resets the clock for 5 years so parties would need to deal with the time, money and resources to have 2 elections in a couple of years. Not great for anybody. Least of all us as the electorate because I think we'd be mired in an even worse state than we already are.

Just to clarify that I think the 28 days to appoint a new FM kicks in only when he formally resigns that position. What he's done today is to indicate that he's standing down as party leader so that a leadership election takes place. Parliament has 28 days to agree the appointment of a new FM (that'll be whoever wins the leadership election, plus the opposition parties would also put forward their leaders for FM). Apologies if that is what you are saying but wasn't entirely clear to me. There's probably also the possibility that the vote of no confidence in HY still goes ahead and he has to resign immediately...I think. Addrd to that, the Labour no confidence motion in the entire government could also see the whole lot resign if that vote was passed. I doubt it would get the numbers but you never know.

Lucky it's only been a smashed window. They eat their young there.
