The Buzzard

What's the story, MAD? Nosey bastard here.

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.

Aye it does the trick for me for the running. Battery life seems pretty good too. There's probably a fair bit more I could be doing with it but as long as it's recording my runs etc then I'm fine with that.

Forerunner 245 music one. Got it last year on one of those Amazon prime days when it had a hefty discount.

I don't even remember writing that reply to you. Apologies!

Garmin. That okay? Fucked as of 00.50.

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

Bristol City v Huddersfield. Bristol win is 11/8 on Skybet.

I won mine. @dad was as good as his word and one winged it's way to me for free.

Jason Day for me too. Liked that price.

It is the Cowgate. Short walk from @Arabian Knightand his cronies on Hunter Square, down past the Blair Street sauna to the bottom of the hill then along the road. Can't remember if it's left or right though.

Any Hatters down for today's game that took in a Polkemmet Country Park run earlier? Top couple of finishers were from Aberdeen I believe.
