Jack's ... not alright.


Remember former First Minister Jack McConnell MSP? Mr Smith does ... just about.

"Jack McConnell is understood to be angry with prime minister Gordon Brown after the peerage he was promised has so far failed to materialise. Friends of the former first minister say Brown has reneged on a deal to allow his Labour colleague to sit in the House of Lords. McConnell is also known to be so unimpressed with the state of his party that he is not planning to attend the Scottish Labour conference this month."

If I was PM Gordon Brown delaying giving our Jack a peerage with the result that he "boycotts" the next Scottish Labour Conference would probably have been worth it. And does Jack McConnell or his advisers really believe he will be missed at the next Scottish Labour Conference anyway? ... Jack who?
