Yesterday at First Minister’s Questions in the Holyrood Parliament the First Minister (FM) was asked by Ruth Davidson:
“Ministers are accountable to the Scottish Parliament, and it is the role of MSPs to hold Ministers to account.”
I am doing my job, and I am asking the First Minister to do his. He is accountable to the Parliament and to the people of Scotland, but he is currently holding both of them in contempt. Therefore, I continue to ask: First Minister, were you hacked?”
The FM replied:
“I am certainly accountable to the people of Scotland, as are all politicians in the chamber, but Ruth Davidson’s accountability to the people of Scotland has not been working out very well, according to election results.”
At no point in his response did he accept that he was in any way accountable to the Scottish Parliament.
Meantime it was revealed that one of his MSPs has failed to appear 5 times to pose questions she was down to ask and was yesterday forced to apologise to the Parliament.
Is it one rule for him but a different one for his fellow MSPs?
