Politicians talk the talk but don’t deliver
Sir, – Not surprisingly, John Swinney “survived” the vote of no confidence because he has done absolutely nothing wrong.
The hypocritical Scottish Tories manufactured the vote, knowing it would fail, as a political gesture.
The other two Unionist parties jumped on board in a pathetic show of solidarity.
It baffles me as to why both Labour and the Lib Dems always support the Tories, both in Holyrood and in Westminster, despite the record of Boris Johnson’s government. Willie Rennie talks a good talk but when push comes to shove he ignores his constituents’ needs and pursues his own political agenda.
