Scottish powered.


So, the Scotsman reports that "A government minister announced last night that he was to sell his major shareholding in an energy company after facing allegations of a conflict of interest. Stewart Stevenson, the minister responsible for drawing up Scotland's targets on renewable energy, owns £30,000 of shares in ScottishPower - a company with major interests in that area."

But Mr Smith was very interested in the pen sketch of Mr Stevenson in which Mr Stevenson is identified as: "Sitting pretty with £½m nest-egg and biggest majority of any MSP."

Mr Stevenson isn't the wealthiest MSP or Government Minister, the SNP's Jim Mather is also identified as a "millionaire." The SNP Cabinet can truly boast a wealth of talents, or is that wealthy talents?
