The Sunday Times political diarist ATTICUS suggests that new SNP MSP Jamie Hepburn has had his knuckles rapped by the Scottish Government's Business Manager and chief enforcer, Bruce Crawford MSP, for tabling no fewer than 150 parliamentary questions over the summer recess.
Apparently Mr Crawford sought to remind Mr Hepburn to consider "whose side he was on" given that the Scottish Government is SNP controlled. As a former political research at Holyrood, Mr Hepburn is obviously finding the old habits involving drafting parliamentary questions hard to break.
His other claim to fame of course is that he boycotted the Royal Opening of the Scottish Parliament in June because it was being carried out by .. er ... Her Majesty the Queen. He must have used the time to draft a few more questions.
