Between Jobs.

From the Herald Diary, "POLITICAL candidates will look for any favourable signs that they are going to do well in an election. We bump into Peter Grant, the local council leader who is the SNP's candidate in the Glenrothes by-election who tells us excitedly: "I've just got a new tax code from HMRC with a letter saying We believe you are currently between jobs'.
"Do they know something I don't?"

Probably.

Regarding Henry.

"Former First Minister Henry McLeish is a strong contender to take on the SNP at the forthcoming by-election in Glenrothes."

And the story has also been reported in other publications over the weekend.

Someone should tell Henry not to do it before it is too late for both himself and the Scottish Labour Party. Henry has too much history to make a viable by-election candidate, not least because of his close connections to the SNP over the last year. It has all the potential of a long-running disaster movie filmed in slow-mo.
