It’s on most of the front pages in Scotland this morning, because the daily vaccination rate on Sunday was the lowest yet. She’s trying to deflect with talk of opening 24/7 vaccination centres but if the hard numbers don’t improve soon the story won’t go away, because frankly there’s nothing else to talk about at the moment.

Sturgeon’s Holyrood government is failing the Scottish people in so many ways, but for some reason they just seem to be sleepwalking through the debris left by the farcical SNP.

A substantial number of votes in Scotland are now cast on constitutional rather than policy or performance grounds. That said, until covid the polls weren’t looking brilliant for the SNP ahead of this year’s election. Their record on everything else is now being conveniently masked by Nippy’s knack for giving a good speech in a crisis. Still, if they do manage to feck up vaccine distribution in the way they have so much else in Scotland, then come election day it may yet have an impact.

I used to think the Scots were a canny lot. Now I’m not so sure.

Well there’s nothing wrong with having your crude national stereotypes challenged ...
