Mr Smith really shouldn't be all that surprised at the latest outburst from Labour MSP Lord Foulkes as reported in various of the Sunday newspapers, but Mr Smith highlights the one from the Sunday Herald:
"Wendy Alexander's honeymoon as Scottish Labour leader has ended abruptly after one of her senior MSPs described her new spin doctor as an "idiot". Lord Foulkes, a Labour member for Lothians, has made a complaint about the party's head of communications, Brian Lironi, for allegedly briefing against him. The MSP also slammed former Labour first minister Henry McLeish, who has criticised his party in recent weeks, by describing him as a "strange guy" who should "shut up"."
Mr Smith suspects that Lord Foulkes' comments are deliberately designed to get him into trouble. He suspects Lord Foulkes really doesn't want to be a Member of the Scottish Parliament, didn't expect to be elected to it and would prefer to spend more of his time in the House of Lords and in the Caribbean.
Mr Smith is going out on a limb, but he suspects that Labour's number two candidate on the Lothians Parliamentary list in May's Scottish Parliament elections, Carol Fox, will find herself in the Scottish Parliament before the end of the year, if not sooner. Over to you George .... please prove Mr Smith wrong.
